We got back last evening from our 40th, all-girls, birthday celebration. The entire time we were in the World; my headaches went away, never once experienced backache, and we ate like queens! My party consisted of Joan, my stepmom, age 62, and Mary (4'9), who works with me cleaning apartments, and who celebrates her 40th on January 11. I make 40 on January 22. Joan and Mary had never been to WDW and boy, were they amazed at what they had been missing. Several times, Mary said she had to pinch herself because she couldn't believe she was actually at WDW.
Day 1: This was our travel day as we chose to drive given the recent events surrounding my husband's health issues and Mary's mother's health issues. So, this day didn't seem like it was going to be a reality until we packed Tuesday night. We got on the Interstate around 7am and decided we would take our time getting there and shot for a 12 hour ride. We stopped at the WDW Welcome Center around 4:30 and walked around and I bought my annual pass (which started that day ) and made reservations for the Hoop De Doo and Candlelight Processional.
Got into WDW around 7pm and checked into Port Orleans Riverside (never asked to see my pass at check-in) We really liked the place and I would definitely stay there again. Hopped a bus to Downtown Disney and ate at the Rainforest Cafe'. We really enjoyed it and J&M were amazed at the sights. Part II comes later; I gotta get ready for work!
