Hello everyone!
We just got back from the World on Saturday night so it's time to start my Trip Report!
Who?
My Mom (Mary) and myself Megan
Where?
The Beach Club Villas! It was our first DVC stay (hence the title) and we loved it!
When?
August 9-17, 2019
Why?
Also as the title indicates it was my Mom's Birthday!
Day 1 August 9, 2019
We stayed at a hotel across from the airport the night before since our flight was pretty early and it was cheaper than parking my car at the airport. Plus it was Southwest Points
So, we got ourselves out of bed at 3:30 am 
I completely forgot I said I would make the sign we usually use for our trip so I grabbed some computer paper from the hotel printers and my Mom made a makeshift one
Could not keep my eyes open so we ended up with this one
The hotel said that they would have to put us in a taxi because their shuttle did not run between midnight and 5 am. I was worried about getting all of our luggage into a taxi but when we went up to the desk around 4 am they had the shuttle ready. Hooray!
The Southwest Counter was not open when we got to the airport but it opened within a few minutes. Our luggage was checked and TSA precheck was open so we made it through security very quickly.
We stopped for our usual breakfast of bagels but they only had one so we got a bagel and a croissant
The croissant was not very good but we were good with just the bagel
We headed to our gate and the therapy dog Jake was there! He usually does not start until 9 am but his owner knew a family flying to Disney so he brought him in. Of course I had to get a picture
Waiting to board our plane
We boarded the plane super fast! We were in row 2!
Gang is all here
Magic Bands!
The entire plane was boarded by 5:55 except 2 passengers - so we were 15 minutes ahead of schedule except that we had to wait for them for about 10 minutes. It was a bit annoying and we ended up leaving a little late.
Next up: more traveling
