Trip Report **COMPLETED** The 4 M's Go to Disney: a 4th of July Extravaganza

Hello everyone! We are back from the World so I figured I should start my Trip Report :)

Who?
My Mom (Mary) and I (Megan)

ANDDDD (you are not just stuck with the 2 of us)
My sister Elizabeth (we call her Betta) and my nephew Max

Where?
The Contemporary :) This was Betta and Max's first stay at the Contemporary - Max's first Deluxe stay :)

When?
July 4-7, 2019

Why?
We all have off on Fridays so with the 4th being on a Thursday it was a free 4 day weekend!

The title?
Max liked to say that the 4 M's were going to Disney: Max, Mommy (Betta obviously), Megan, Mary :hilarious: My Mom pointed out the 4 M's and he loved it!

T-1 Day July 3, 2019
After work we headed to meet Betta and Max at the hotel we were staying at across the street from the airport. My sister and Max live about an hour away from us so it is much easier for them to stay at a hotel before a trip - especially one where we have to get up pretty early.
We had an incident bringing our suitcases up to the room and my Mom accidentally tripped on this sign so we felt the need to document it :hilarious:

After we got Betta and Max settled into their room we headed to Cracker Barrel to get some dinner with my Dad before he dropped us off for the night.
We could see the airport from our room :)

July 4, 2019 Day 1
We slept decently well and woke up at 4 am - this particular hotel we stayed in was much better than the usual one we stay in across from the airport so that was nice.

My sister drove us over to the Airport so we did not have to take the hotel shuttle. She parked in a lot I was very unfamiliar with and we ended up having to take a shuttle from there to the airport which took more time than I anticipated. Naturally I was stressed out. This parking lot is cheaper which makes sense but I am spoiled by where we usually park when we are with my Dad :joyfull:
Thankfully check-in and security were fast and we made our way to grab some food for breakfast.

My other sister made our shirts and made a matching shirt for Max's penguin Beaky (to match Max's shirt)

We had a little less time in the airport than I'm used to so it was quickly time for boarding!

Our flight was very quick and smooth and soon enough we were in Florida!
FONORAIL!!!
I totally got Max to refer to it as the fonorail "because it's not the real monorail"
Can you believe this kid is only 3 and a half?! He looks SOOO old!

We waited just a short time before leaving and as my Mom and I predicted we were the 3rd stop!
Look at these cute signs in the lobby!

It was pretty early in the morning still (I think like 10:30) so our room obviously wasn't ready yet. We checked our carry-ons, grabbed the stroller and we were on our way to the MK!

I had to activate my DVC AP and my Mom and sister needed their new cards for their new APs so we stopped at Guest Relations. We were directed towards Will Call which was new for me

The CM tried to tell my Mom and my sister they did not need a new card even though their old one would expire at the end of the year. When I explained that she was like oh yea you are right :bored:
