Day 1 (Sunday)
Early morning start (AAAAACK) not easy since we barely slept the
night before with the wedding being over at midnight. Breakfast
at the hotel and off to the Airport. Left around 10AM after saying
goodbye’s to Clint’s sis and bro from RI and head over
to Kennedy. Flight was at 1:30 but because of impending traffic
(how can the Mets not know were flying out of Kennedy that day?)
we needed to leave early due also to security and what not. Long
story short, it only took about 15 minutes to get there and we were
3 hours early. And, Murphy’s law kicks in here where there
were no problems in security and we walked right on through. Now,
you do know that if we had hit the traffic, and left late we would
have gotten stopped on security and ended up running at Mach 3 so
as not to miss the plane. [A small sidebar on the flight: I need
to give credit where it is deserved so I want to take a minute to
really compliment Jet Blue (for and of you considering them). The
seats were comfortable, the idiot in front of me that reclined still
wasn’t even touching my legs and (of no fault to Jet Blue)
we didn’t have the stinky person sitting next to us and we
watched DirectTV the whole time!. I highly recommend them!]
Safe, happy landing in Orlando (I just love to watch those palm
trees swaying as we fly in), pick up the luggage at the evil spinning
device and call Happy Limo for our pickup spot. Now, I don’t
remember what I said when I made the ressie but I must have mentioned
that it was our honeymoon or we just had dumn luck. We walk over
to our spot and about 3 minutes later a gigantic black hummer stretch
pulls up. I become more excited when I see the Happy Limo license
plate and the driver pulls out and says “Williams”?
I think he must have seen my deflated look and started smirking
and said nah…I’m just kidding, I’m looking for
Vinacco. He packs all of our stuff in the front of the limo and
we hop in and what is playing……Harry Potter. This is
all too good to be true! Make our grocery stop and off to OKW. Give
the driver a nice tip of $50 (we really felt it was the nice thing
to do after Happy Limo upgraded us to this nice limo for FREE and
we were in very good moods so we were generous) and check in. As
we are checking in, CM is giving us an option of where we wanted
to stay. One of the rooms was all the way on the other side of the
resort where he said it was more quiet and the other was literally
right across the street from the Custom House. We said that we were
from the city so the noise of the busses won’t bother us any
and we were more into the convenience of staying closer to the bus.
Get over into the room, bell services arrives and we tip the CM
(unfortunately not as generous as the driver) and settle in.
Next stop……West Side. We decided to eat over at Rainforest
Café for dinner. So we decide to take the boat from OKW instead
of the bus. But, there was entirely too many people waiting and
the boat only holds about 9 so we decide to take the bus instead.
We had just missed the bus so we had to wait about 20 minutes for
the next one. Rainforest Café was OK. Not great for us just
because we were too picky and weren’t into a lot of the foods
they had to offer. Clint orders the huge volcano desert and we barely
finish it. After dinner, we head on over to World Of Disney to pick
up the Bride and Groom hats. Another side bar…..Clint was
pretty much refusing to wear his hat. After much deliberation and
my final word being that I would staple it to his head if he didn’t
cooperate, he finally gave in. I guess it was less painless then
staples in the skull? Head back over to OKW for some much needed
sleep and decide where to go the next day.
Day 2...
