Day 1 - Travel Day
Travelled with United Airlines from Melbourne, Sydney, San Francisco, Orlando. The flight was just an ok, to my disappointment their was no entertainment in the back of the seats. How they can get away with this on a 14 hr flight I can't understand. It was cheaper than Qantas I must admit.
Kids flew really well, the cares kid seat belts worked a treat, and constant supply of snacks worked really well. The amazing planning and organization of my wife is second to none, great job Nat!
iPads worked well with the kids, the huge travel day ran them both flat and and the two external back up batteries, I would never travel with out them, especially considering the lack of entertainment provided on United.
The transfer company (Dixielimo.com), was waiting for us at baggage, very nice driver, very helpful. The airport baggage handler scoffed when I tipped him, apparently $10 isn't enough for pushing a trolley. I hate the tipping system here, how much is enough, not enough, I ended up giving him $15, but the driver said that's their ploy, $1 per bag is standard.
We arrived at the Holiday Inn Downtown Disney at around 11:45pm, keys and rooms were waiting. Rooms were as expected, large, clean, comfy beds, and a great view of DTD.
D-Head of the day goes to Nikaela and Andrea, with in five minutes they locked themselves out of their room.
Day 2
Right now I'm enjoying the comfy bed and the hotels free wifi on my iPad to the background music of the kids snoring. It's just after 9am and all we have planned for the day is a 1pm lunch at T-Rex. Mia love dinosaurs so she's going to flip at this place.
Eve's awake, back later...
