Sunday, February 23 - Travel Day 1
I wanted to book a direct flight and couldn't get one from our airport so we drove three hours on this day to Manchester, NH so we could fly direct on Southwest. We spent the night at the Holiday Inn near the airport where we did the park, stay and go package. This worked out great for us. Here is a photo of us heading down to Manchester.

We had McDonald's for dinner since it was across the street from the hotel, watched a little TV and went to bed early. We had to be up at 4:30 to get ready to head to the airport and tomorrow is Disney day!

Nice trip report, I'm so glad to hear that you both enjoyed the parks.The first trip is always so exciting and new but can take a toll on the bodies while at the parks, sorry to read you missed the firework shows but like you said there is always next time.

Lesson learned: if you have a kid that doesn't like sit down/scheduled meals, only schedule a few that you really want to do and eat on the fly the rest of the time.

I really love your trip report so far.. I just started reading it!! I agree with the meal idea.. I will be going with 3 teenagers in a couple of months and we only scheduled a couple of meals.. the rest we will do on the fly.... makes sense to me.... :)

Late reading your report, but I really enjoyed seeing The World through first time visitors. Looking forward to reading about your next visit.

I didn't realize this was from last year until I got to that poster advertising Maleficent. It's always great to read about first-timers and now I plan to start on your newest TR
