Disney 2015 - take 2

Here we are again.

In March we took our first WDW vacation.  It was so much much fun we decided to do it all over again, but this time closer to Christmas.

The kids knew a trip was happening but didn't quite know when.   We started our journey by driving to Syracuse Thursday night.  After a quick dinner at Ruby Tuesdays and a breif stop at a very busy Walmart we ended our day at the Marroitt where we all crashed for the night.

I had so many last minute thoughts racing through my head I didn't sleep much.

Re: first flight with kids, excitement of Disney,  did we remember everything?

Friday morning we ate the standard 'free'hotel breakfast then made our way to the airport.   After unloading our gear in the underground parking we decided it was time to tell them.

All along we had told them we were headed to a new Aquariuim. :)

As an emotional me told told them,

All three jumped for joy! 

Christopher "why are you crying, Mommy?"

Security and boarding was super easy at Syracuse airport and we will do it again in a heartbeat.

Sophia and Christoper were seated in front of myself and Charlotte.  Jason was in the row across from us. (Lucky)

Basically it was me  #team3 and trying to keep #team3 from bothering other passengers.

The excitement of taking off into the air quickly passed.  It was not a relaxing flight for me whatsoever.  I already get motion sickness so trying to stay focused, answer questions, keep the iPads connected to the i-fly, manage the never ending flow of drinks and snacks, answer more questions and remind my kids there are other people sitting around us so not to kick the seats. 

Of course smiling and thanking everyone that mentioned Charlotte's hair. :)

Flight decends and we arrive into the sunshine and Palm trees of Florida.

We make our way to this subway like shuttle service to the Main building.  We opted to spend the night in the fancy Hyatt located inside Orlando International airport. 

This hotel is like none we have ever stayed in.  Beautiful, HUGE and probably the best service.  We dropped off our luggage only to notice they had us in a King room.  No extra bed.  

A quick stop at the lobby and they switched us up to a king suite with pull out couch.  (For free) (bonus) When we came back from dinner they had come in and set up a roll out bed.  Immediately causing a fight between the older two of course as to who was sleeping on it. .  Nonetheless it was an amazing gesture and all three kids had a nice generous space to sleep in.

Bedtime was 6:30 pm for all of us.  Tomorrow we jump on the magical express and head to our final destination.
