I am going to be about 35 minutes away from the World!!

[ShookieJones]

But unfortunately it's only for an hour long lay over at MCO before heading to Louisville.
We are cruising at about 30000 ft right now - took off from Hartford this morning and should be touching down shortly.
My best bud and I are heading for a five day guys only vacation with one of our good friends who recently moved to Kentucky. The bourbon trail may be in our future and perhaps a light version of the hangover without all the Leslie Chow drama. Should be fun.
But I would much rather be with the fam headed to wdw!
It was tough seeing families checking their bags with those yellow luggage tags we wre all familiar with!
Talk to a few families going down for their first times and I restrained my chit chat as best I could - as to not get the eye rolling from my friend...hahaha he's a great guy, but he's more of a mans man type of guy and although I actually got him and his family down to the World for their first time ( and they had a blast) he's way mor excited about this guys getaway than anything WDW related.

Anyway just checking in with the only peeps (outside my immediate family) that would understand the torture I'm about to go through!

All trips pale in comparison to WDW, but nonetheless, enjoy your trip!!!

Watch out Kentucky!!!!

Ok, maybe my geography is bad...but...why fly from CT to Orlando to KY? Were there no closer / direct flights?

Have fun though, Louisville is a great town.

Actually to fly from RI to Long Island, we would have had to fly to Orlando first.... I think it's related to the angle of the moon or something...

Wow. That's like flying from Atlanta to Memphis, but having a layover in Chicago!

 

[Foolish Mortal]

Check out Churchill Downs if you can. Talk about a legendary building.

We flew home from Orlando once by way of Cinncinati; it was really cool though - the weekend of Kentucky Derby, and all the ladies were carrying hat boxes.

Guess you're there now.

Have a great time in Kentucky!

 

[itsbetsyh]

it's true, there's nothing in the world i'd rather be doing than going to the World with my little one!

 

[JIMINYCR]

Ohhhhh, to be soooo close. Pure torture.... but at least you have the guys to distract you and keep your mind off of .... yikes... I almost said it. Have fun, and remember all the fun you will have later when you go with the family.

 

[Britt]

Ooooooo so fun! Have a great time!

 

[real mad hatter]

funny you should say that - we had a different plane but the same flight crew ( they're a riot) and we are have a bit of fun.. So when he sees us get on he goes " couldn't find a more direct route!!?"
Truth is this was the cheapest flight with the least amount of layover time.

Thanks we're back up and starting to get excited...

I've been lucky enough to be in Louisville for the Derby (was opening a store in Clarksville, IN). It was in-sane...

 

[ShookieJones]

I had some good convos with a couple o' disney familys while we were grounded so i got a good fix... a little jealous but i was able to hide my evil glances, although i did slip up and mad a little kid with mickey ears cry..

in all seriousness Thanks for the well wishes and support in getting me through this rough hour guys and gals.

if anything good happens in kentucky i will post it in chit chat.

 

[coachwnh]

Enjoy! Should be a fun time

We joked about the hangover references on the drive to the airport with our wives -

my buddy's wife said
"Oh yeah who's who?"

I said "we'll I'm obviously Bradley Cooper"

To which my wife responded " I wish..."

I think she likes his acting skills and wishes I was better at acting...right....?

 

[Soarin2u]

Fantastic! It's sound like your already enjoying yourself! Hope you have a blast!

Edit: I had no clue why that reply was there.... Took it off now!

 

[Pooh Lover]

Oh yeah, been there! Had a short lay over in MCO on the way home from a cruise. I couldn't take it....DH could tell by the look on my face he was in trouble. As soon as we got home, I picked up the computer and booked a trip to WDW. Talk about Pavlov's dogs....LOL.

Have a great mancation!
