This is it!!!
All of the excitement builds as the countdown gets smaller and smaller, and finally our day is here!
Wednesday, August 20th, 2014.
I couldn't sleep any longer, I went to bed early the night before, knowing I would have to be up early to get ready for the airport. I finally gave up sleeping at 12:30am and crawled out of bed.
While I was making my morning coffee, Allison came downstairs - she hugged me an yelled as loud as her whisper would allow... "We're going to Disney today!" EEEEEp!!!!
I made my coffee, hopped on the computer for my morning ritual of Facebook and Disboards... I had started my morning post the night before, so I wouldn't have to spend so much time on it this morning - I was happy I'd thought ahead.
At 3:15am, I called BFF to wake her up.
Then I showered.
I called BFF again at 3:30 just to make sure and I could tell from the sound of her voice - she was up and moving.
It's DISNEY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Allison and I proceeded to get ready, as usual - we let V sleep as long as posible.
I woke V at 4am - she was slightly cranky... Even the prospect of it being Disney Day does not rouse her from her cranky stupor. But, as usual - Alli and I just ignore her and press on with our happy selves.
The girls and I loaded all of our baggage in the truck and we were on the road at exactly 4:27am... It was very foggy here in MN.
Despite the fog, we made it to the airport by 5am... BFF and O were already there waiting for us.
Our first trip picture... before going through security.
Thankfully - we were all pre-checked, so we didn't have to dig anything out of our bags - it was sooo nice. We whizzed through security and we were off to find our gate... Normally, we fly in and out of our little airport - but this time, we flew Delta, so we were flying out of the big airport - so it's much busier. Thankfully - everything went smoothly. We were through security by 5:25am.
We stopped off for a treat at Caribou (no Starbucks in this airport... sigh)
We boarded the plane at 6:25...
The girls sat in front of us...
And BFF and I sat behind them...
Our flight took off at 6:55am, 5 minutes early! WHOOT!
The first part of our flght was bumpy, and we didn't choose to pay for wi-fi... So it was pretty boring. My tablet wasn't loading any of my games, and I was too excited to sleep - even though I was tired enough. I tried, but I was unsuccessful - I knew we still had a full MK day ahead of us when we landed... It was going to be a long day for sure!
Our plane landed at 11:47am - 13 minutes early...
We deplaned... Took a selfie...
Hopped on to the Mini-Monorail...
And made our way to Magical Express... Would you believe, one of the most exciting events for me happened in the ME line?
