Sunday, Dec 10th - After a 1 hour delay, my flight finally took off for Orlando. I was travelling solo and this was a first for me so I tried to plan out my strategy of getting my luggage and renting a car. I went to the National - picked up my contract and was told to go out to pick my car. First I went back up to luggage pick-up and there to my surprise was my luggage coming right at me on the carousel - first the heavy piece and right behind that was my smaller piece. Now, I was ready! I proceeded to pick out my car and drive it out when a light came on stating "Low Tire Pressure", which I quizzed the girl at the exit about and she told me to drive back in and pick out another car, which I did. Finally I was on my way, I picked up my friends who flew in the night before and stayed at Buena Vista Suites which I hooked them up with thanks to these boards. We loaded up the car with all of their luggage and we were off to check into OKW, my home away from home. I was so excited! After all the oohs and aahs from my friends when we got to our room, 6314, a great room, we unpacked and decided to take it easy and walk around so I could show them some of the OKW resort. When the sun was starting to set, we decided it was time to make a run to the Super Walmart and get some groceries for the room. Then it was time for me to walk around again and take in all of the Christmas lights and music. Later, my friends treated me to dinner at Olivia's and we went back to the room to rest up for a busy Monday.

Whenever they call me a dreamer, I think of Walt Disney and smile:)
 
At least the place took the car back and you got one without a problem. Sounds like you have a great room.:)
