Well we're here.
Virgin flight friday was delayed by 2 hours and when we arrived we had to then wait on the plane as immigration was full - arrived at OKW about 3 hours late overall - absolutely shattered. DD 4 stayed awake throughout only to fall asleep at the last moment - missing us cheering as we drove under the disney world arch.
Got my room request, upper studio by turtle pond - in building 42. Love the resort and the renovated room. Pool just a few steps away and lovely and quiet - saw rabbits at night/early morning.
First night we had 15 inch pepperoni pizza and two huge bowls of icecream from POFQ foodcourt then bed. Good deal for 2 cs - pizza was cooked to order.
Awake 4am and couldn't sleep so were at chef mickey's at 7am. ADR was for 8 but they seated us no problem. Food was fine and character interaction good - my DD, dressed up as minnie and loved it.
Then Osceola Walmart. Pedicure for me at the nearby nails place and got some food for breakfasts, washing powder, beer etc. DH happy got his IPad.
Spent a few hours in the turtle pond pool then went to Epcot at 4.
Epcot was heaving as it was F & W. Got boat across to Morocco and watched bellydancer then did kidcot stops for DD at USA and Japan and got her an epcot passport to have stamped.
Dinner was at Teppan edo - our first time seated there. It was nosiy and busy but we loved the place and the food - would definitely eat again there next trip. Had steak and shrimp and chocolate ginger cake - cooked perfectly - dipping sauces were good aswell.
Walked slowly back to car - 'home' and asleep for 9.30. DD fell asleep enroute to room.
7am here now - off to MK today.
Not sure if will have internet again - paid for 24 hours as DH needed it for Ipad set up.
