Hi everyone, well at last I have gotten around to my report!
Oct 25th
Glen and I set out for London Gatwick Airport and take advantage of twilight check in at the Virgin desk. This proves advantagous when we are given exit row seats as well as the fact we are booked into Premium Economy anyway! We then head off to Le Meridien for the night.
Oct 26th
Hooray the day is finally here to go to WDW!!!! We check out of Le Meridien and have breakfast after going through passport control, grab some duty free and board the plane (named Hot Lips!). Nice flight, OK food, good movies, I watched League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Legally Blonde 2 and Pirates of the Caribbean. As we descended we got a great view of Kennedy Space Centre and then we were there! Arrived at POR about 6.30pm and were checked in by Tym who almost threw the resort map at us and sent us on our way. I wasn't impressed as we were jet lagged, hungry and in need of a shower. So we plod off with all our luggage in search of our room which, thankfully was in Parterre Place room 9557, not that far away. After we showered, ate a yummy pizza from the in room delivery, we decided to hit the Adventurers Club at PI as its our favourite place at the whole of WDW and where Glen proposed! Lasted a couple of hours there before the time difference really took hold of us! so we gave in and headed to bed.
Oct 27th
Woke about 6am (you have to love jet lag) went to Epcot and did M:S. WOW! Loved it! I was worried about getting sick as I have a kind of phobia but we did it before breakfast!! We were in the Blue pod. Over to TT and LS. Did the American Adventure and Impressions de France which we hadn't done before, then stopped by the British Invasion and ate at Italy. Not impressed; warm food, rushed service and the waiter shoved the dessert tray under our faces with asking if we even wanted one. Anyhow tonight was the night of the unofficial WDW meet at the Adventurers Club. In the end it was only me and WannabeBelle ( who is completely mad!), we had a great night and met some folks who were part of doombuggies.com. It was great to put a face to a name and Glen captured it all on video!!
Oct 28th
MGM today, quite busy. Did TOT, RnRC, Millionaire (I got on the leaderboard!!!) I knew more American questions than I thought! But a couple of rows in front of me was a young guy, late teens, wearing a WDWMagic Meet T shirt, didn't get a chance to say hi though. Who was it???????? Lunch at the Brown Derby, yum! Off to the AC again and saw the Halloween Jubilee show which was new to us.
Oct 29th
Epcot again in the morning, went to DTD and had lunch at Planet Hollywood. Glen then went to Disney Quest while I went shopping at the Marketplace. Saw Fantasmic in the evening and taped it. Had supper at the food court at POR, loved thier individual pepperoni pizzas!!
More soon!
