9/23

We left our houses at about 2:00pm to catch a 7:00pm flight from Pittsburgh to Orlando on 9/23. Why did we leave so early? G20 summit. They were supposed to have the entrance to the airport shut down with police checking each car for boarding passes and photo ID’s. Well that didn’t happen. We were at the airport 4 hours before our flight, but better safe than sorry eh?

Our flight was great. Unlike the one I am on right now as I type this up scared out of my mind from non-stop turbulence. The only thing was our one flight attendant was MAD weird. She would not put down the intercom CB and told corny jokes the WHOLE time. If that was not enough when we got to the gate she said “Ladies and Gentleman thanks for flying Southwest and thanks for making my first flight with Southwest a great one. The people she worked with that day probably all ran on got their schedules and PRAYED they don’t work with her anymore.

We land safe, sound, and smooth at MCO around 20 minutes early. We head straight for The Magical Express.

We waited around 5 minutes and we were on the bus headed “home”. Online check in at Sports was fine. There was an issue with the people ahead of us though, and it was Disney’s screw up. I was listening, but not fully. We got a room in building 10 #242 and were about 6 rooms away from my brother’s room. We both got king size beds. Upon arrival Colleen was walking through the rooms and asked is this room made for little kids? I said that I doubt they would have a king bed for kids, and then I remembered most king rooms are handicapped rooms. I even said when we walked in that the bed was really low. I didn’t mind at all. I had my king bed so I was happy.

We left the resort to go to Downtown Disney to use our Planet Hollywood vouchers. Mainly so we can eat Crunch Chicken, but the $15 come in handy. I had TWO helpings of it.

After that we just got on the bus, and went back to the resort to catch football and swim!

Congrats on the engagement

Awesome trip!!! I'm really excited for you both on your engagement. I'm heading down in two weeks to stay at BLT, really pumped!! I just hope it cools down for us. I've gotten very spoiled going in october, no crowds, and gorgeous weather. I actually proposed to my fiance down there last year! I did it on a horse drawn buggy at riverside. Tons of flowers and champagne and the staff was great too!!!

Hey John, just recently noticed this. Great report, like the pics. It was great meeting you and Colleen ! Congrats again on the engagement. Colleen have any older sisters ? :ROFLOL: I knew you'd be there the same week as me but I never would've bet we would end up sitting next to each other in the same restaurant.

Haha she is an only child!

Yeah its crazy how that ended up in Le Celier. If you think about it, "we" are probably all around each other more than we know, when we are "home"

They must be new?? :shrug:

They did however give us the Just Married ones but the very very nice CM neatly marked out Married and put Engaged.

I will try and hit up Town Hall when I get there for a couple of those. Were going back in May 2010.
