Mickey, I'm Home!

Greetings from Orlando! It has been a long and emotional day but my pixie dust has landed me sprawled out on my king sized bed here at the Holiday Inn in Orlando. My day started at 9 this morning when I had to wake up to finish packing (never will I be packed the day before, I mean let's be honest) and making sure I had everything. Still, on the way to the airport I was giving my mom a list of things to mail down! Then I started my goodbyes, you would think my eyes were Splash Mountain. It's weird to think I could channel my inner 10 and go from "Allonsy!" to "I don't want to go" over WDW (if you understand the reference, hello new best friend!) I just wish New Jersey and Florida were closer, at least Rhode Island is manageable.

I flew out of Newark International and landed in Orlando, the flight overall was about 3 hours, stark contrast from my 4 hour train rides from RI to NJ as my mom pointed out. I ended up sitting next to a family who had a little Yorkie in front of them on the plane, adorable but it made me miss my dog that much more.

I got on and off the plane with no problems. I collected my luggage and proceeded to book my Mears transportation. The buses come within 30 minutes and take you and various passengers to the surrounding resorts.

Waiting for my shuttle and there are palm trees! Kind of a big deal for a small town Jersey Girl! It was a beautiful 88 degrees and sunny, I can get used to this! It was weird sitting out there in front of the Disney Magical Express buses and seeing people on their way to WDW, I'm actually here!

 I was the last stop and pulled in to the hotel at about 9. I ended up getting a handicap room, I guess because it has 1 bed in it and it's just me that's what they gave me. No complaints!

 There is a closet to the left and above the fridge there your standard hotel essentials and a microwave. The bathroom is on the right behind that door

 

King size bed all to myself? Don't mind if I do! 

Handicap bathroom, interesting. Don't worry, there is another shower head above that little one! And you know, a toilet

You can guess where I will be spending my night tonight

 Best hotel keys EVER!

I just grabbed some jammy dodgers from the vending machine (such a Who post tonight!) and will try and take some pictures of the pool after hours possibly. But I need to rest up for my day tomorrow! You think I'm going to let a whole day go when I'm this close to Disney?! Tomorrow I will be hitting up DTD to catch the tail end of Independence Day festivities like getting some pins, the 4th of July cupcake, and then resort hopping and ending at the Poly for the 4th of July fireworks!
