Posting my very first trip report! Had a blast and am still recovering (mainly my feet)!
Players: Myself (31) and DH for the week of his 40th Birthday (he totally doesn't look it or act like it.
Day One - Aug 2nd
We took an early 7:45 flight out of DFW to Orlando! Even though we are up so early, we are not tired! We are so excited and ready to reach our final destination of Walt Disney World!!
We check into our hotel, Contemporary Resort around 1:30. We were both so excited! It was our first deluxe experience and a childhood dream of ours to stay at the Contemporary. The check in service was great and fast! However, we were disappointed to find out we did not get our request of a room with a king bed.
Although, we did receive a room on the 11th floor (MK view). The view was gorgeous!
Pictures from our balcony!
After settling into our room, we immediatly headed towards the monorail. I just have to say how much we LOVED having the monorail access during the week! We went straight to Epcot! First mission, stop by Soarin' for a fastpass. By this time, we are both starving (it's around 2:30). We go to the Pub in Rose and Crown. Beer with Fish n Chips. Our first meal in WDW! For us, a great way to start the trip!
We then immediately headed over to Norway. My DH and I are both fans of The Deadliest Catch and my DH's favorite crew is the Northwestern. It was their last day of meet and greet! We arrived just after 3:00 in line. The line was VERY slow moving. Then they stopped at 4:00 for a break and were coming back at 5:30. The group in front of us received fast passes but us along with everyone behind us, had to stay in line and wait. It was a LONG wait! However, we did meet some really nice, cool people who were in line behind us! Two of them were CM's who had just gotten off of work. Was fun talking with them and were really nice. One guy kept going to get drinks and snacks for everyone. Even though we waited a long time, it went fast for we were in great company.
Here we are with the crew of the Northwestern. Got in line just after 3:00 - meet them around 6:00!
Can you tell we are from Dallas and are big Cowboys fans?
While in line, one of our new friends was eatting a school and was saying how it's the best! So, my DH had to stop by Kringla Bakeri og Cafe to try one. Needless to say, he LOVED it! He said he has to have one everytime we go to Epcot!
Here he is enjoying his new found love!
We then went to our favorite ride at Epcot, Spaceship Earth! We actually rode the ride, got off and went back around to ride it again!! I love that ride!!! It was then time for our Soarin' Fastpass time! So off to Soarin' we went! We then decided to call it a night for we were now hungry for dinner and just wanted to relax after a long day!
We went to the Contempo Cafe in the resort and brought our food back up to our room and watch the old Mickey cartoons (I love that channel). It was then time to watch Wishes!!! We have NEVER seen Wished before. We changed the channel on the tv, set up our camera and sat back and watched the fireworks. Immediately fell in love with Wishes!!!!! Favorite fireworks EVER!! I knew I had to see it again!
Here are some pictures of Wishes from our balcony!
More to come soon!
