Hello!
I am going to make this into a real Trip Report once we get home, but will also post along the way with some live updates!
Very quick intro for now: we are Amy (me) and John. We are celebrating our 2nd anniversary with a quick trip to WDW - Wednesday, 9/23 - Sunday, 9/27. It's really lucky how our anniversary aligns so nicely with Food & Wine and MNSSHP every year. It's almost like somebody planned it that way...anyway, this trip is going to fly by - we usually stay twice as long. I'm not allowed to complain, though - we already spent a week at DL in CA and almost a month in Japan, including 3 days at the Tokyo Disney Resort and Parks. We are really excited to bring our Total Number of Disney Parks Visited in 2015 to EIGHT with this trip!
We always give our trips a hashtag for Instagram and stuff - you can follow #AmyandJohns2ndAnniversary, or me - bc7ate9.
So, back to the reporting...We left MSP at 8 am CST and arrived in Orlando a little after 12 pm DST (Disney Standard Time). Flight was fine - we tried a budget airline for the first time and we'd give it a solid ok. I managed to sleep for most of the flight - my Duffy bear makes a great pillow.
We landed and made our way to the Magic Express. Does anybody else start noticing other Magic Bands on your flight and start to feel a little competitive? I'm not usually competitive, but I'm definitely not going to let all those other people beat me to Disney!
No lines at Magic Express - except for the All Star Resorts. We are going to Coronado Springs (first time!) and didn't have any line. The All Stars boarded their bus and CS still just had us for a line...so they put us on the last 2 seats of the bus bound for the All Stars. I was hoping they'd just dump us off first. Nope. We get a tour of the All Stars first. I could complain about that, but I'm a positive, optimistic sort of person - it'll be neat seeing the other resorts! Right?! I know I'm convinced!
We got our room # right after we checked in for ME. We've never had a room ready for us before so that's pretty cool. We are in what appears to be the most remote part of the resort possible - Ranchos 7a. Whatever - we like walking and hardly ever eat at the resort anyway.
Approaching All Stars - must pay attention and enjoy the tour.
