Well we are here! We left Bristol at about 4pm on Friday on the coach bound for Gatwick and eventually got to Orlando about 24 hours later after an overnight stay in the travel lodge. We were able to do twilight check in so managed to get a bulk head seat with sky cot for Oren .It was tiring but the kids were well behaved and Oren was a star on the plane and charmed all the virgin staff. After skipping the que thanks to Dollar Express we picked up our practically brand new red Dodge Durango and I nearly needed a step ladder to get into the thing! We reached our villa at Terra Verde dumped the luggage and then hit maccy d's for a quick bite as the kids were starving. The lovely villa owner has provided brand new matching Disney travel cot and stroller (thanks Louise) so we put the cot up and then all go to bed exhausted.
Day 1
We are all awake early so washed and dressed it's time to hit Walmart for supplies[msnwink] Shopping finished we are all absolutely starving so we go to IHOP [ihop]for our first all American breakfast of this trip. I order 2x2x2 (eggs,sausage and pancakes) with coffee and it really hit the spot! Breakfast finished it was time to go back and unload the shopping.
A little while later we took a wander around our community to locate the clubhouse,pool and facilities. The kids had a play on the play area and then we decided we had better buy our Disney Annual Passes so we headed off to Epcot for the afternoon. Tickets bought we made our way to Ice Station Cool just to check we still don't like Beverley [msnwink][msntongue] and then headed off around the lake. After a wander around the world stopping at China for orange chicken and steamed rice we returned home for a rest.
Later on we had a meal at Ruby Tuesdays (I had steak and salad and some strawberry lemonades [party1] as I was driving) after that we all fell into bed stuffed!
So our first day is done and dusted and I am able to write this up using the wifi and our laptop by the Terra Verde pool [drinkpepsi][clap] Let me know what you think is it ok? too much detail or not enough?
