So this is a late late late trip report, but as I get ready for my next trip I figure no better time to throw out my first real trip report. This trip was done more of a challenge then anything else, I wanted to see if you really could do everything in all 4 of the parks in a matter of 5 days or so. Now when I say everything I mean all attractions and shows, we went old school and did everything on the maps! If it was listed on the map we made sure we saw it! I didn't stop to watch Fantasmic!, the full parades, or all the fireworks because while those were on the show schedule they were not really on the map plus had to make time to eat!.
Day -1 Feb 5th 2009
I am a big believer in red eye flights, I have never had a problem sleeping on a plane and my energy level will jump to 12 knowing that I am at WDW so headed off to LAX for the red eye which was fine....UNTIL the first thing I see is a gaggle of Cheerleaders.....
Thankfully they were not that bad and didn't really hear a pep out of them most of the flight.
Day 1 Feb 6th 2009
Arrived in MCO on what was the coldest day of our trip.
After getting in bright and early and did something that is very out of the ordinary for me and rented a car. I have gone to WDW 18 times before this trip and I think this was trip 2 that a rental car was the transport of choice. But without the car this sight is something that is not seen that well...
I was HOME!
First stop was check in at Caribbean Beach, my least fav of all the WDW hotels but due to timing and the cheer events going on this was all that was available. You can kind of see in the pic, they had bags over all the potted plants to protect them from the cold.
As you can tell from the clock in the lobby we had a little while before the first park opened so we decided to head to McD's at the crossroads for a fast breakfast before we start the EVERYTHING TRIP!
FIRST STOP!
and a welcome sight to the first trip on the monorail
Made it into the gates just in time to see the Welcome Ceremony
After the ceremony made my way down Main St. toward Tomorrowland but had to snap this picture!
To Be Continued.....
