Hey everyone! So I decided to start my first trip report! 
I love reading other reports and have always wanted to try writing one So here goes...
On this trip will be me, Gina and my husband Scott. This will be our 5th trip together. We love going to Disney and nobody else really understands why...every trip we hear "you are going again? Didn't you just go?" This will be our first trip since May 2012!

So a little pre-trip..the two weeks leading up to our leaving was very stressful! 10 days before we were supposed to leave I came down with the flu. It really kicked my butt. I was out of work for a week, couldn't hardly move never mind get things together for our trip.So the week I was sick my husband called and told me where he works they have a rewards program where you get points that are turned into gift cards...and Disney gift cards was an option! Score! So he had 300 in points, plus I had a $100 in disney gift cards from Christmas. Well...the wednseday before he leaves he calls me and tells me he just got a 500 point reward bonus! So we had now about $900 in disney gift cards! Its nice going on vacation and not having to worry about money. Then while we were gone we were going to be having work done on our house. We had lead paint in the house and were having an environmental company come out to remove it, put in new windows, doors, etc. So a couple days before we left, I found out that some of the doors I picked out were discontinued, so they had to come out to measure some more stuff and I had to re-pick new doors. I have no time for this! So by the time friday came I was ready to be out!
Our trip was February 1st-8th at Bay Lake Tower. My parents are DVC members, so we were able to stay on their points. We were flying out of Hartford direct flight to MCO. The night before was the usual last minute packing, running errands, and I had to drop off my fur children with my parents.
Daisy(dog) and Bella my furkids! I was so sad to leave them!
February 1st:
Travel days are the worst!! We were up at 4:45 am after getting about three hours of sleep. Everything went smoothly at the airport..except for the TSA agent screaming that I left my belt on...sorry dude! Now I ABSOLUTELY hate flying...I'm sweating just thinking about it! I had a mini melt down right before we boarded the plane.
Popped a Xanax and off we went! Ride was smooth (according to my husband!) and we landed about 20 minutes early! Yeah! So off we went with magic bands in hand to the magical express. I don't know how many times we have been to MCO and seem to always loose our way when finding DME. Ended up on the wrong side of the terminal. So after about 15 minutes we were finally in line. We waited close to 20 minutes for a bus and finally we were on our way!
Soon we were seeing this beautiful sight! We were the last stop of course! This would be our first time at BLT. Every time we go they are always booked, but luckily I was able to get us a reservation for the full 8 days. We usually always stay at the Boardwalk Villas, so I was excited to try something new! Check in was a breeze, our room was ready, things were going well! We took the skywalk over to our room:
kitchen area with full length mirror that doubled as my makeup/hair straightening area!
We just had a standard view, but were able to see the bay lake and the castle on the left! The room was very nice. At this point it was around noon and we were STARVING!! So we walked over to Contempo Cafe in the main concourse. We picked up some mugs and got some grub!
Scott got a chicken sandwich that had a salsa like sauce on it...I thought it was good but he thought the sauce was too much. I got a chicken chop salad with cilantro vinaigrette dressing..I'm not a huge cilantro fan but the dressing was delicious! And we got a worms in dirt cupcake! Pleasantly full we were off to Epcot!
