We made it to WDW

We started our morning waking @ 3 am to catch a flight @ 6:14. Our good friend Daryl was nice enough to pick us up @ 4:15 and drive us to the Sacramento airport. THANKS DARYL, we owe you one! But here we are in beautiful sunny Orlando, Florida. The home to the happiest place on earth, Walt Disney World.

We made it in, flights were good. The leg from LA to here was long, 4 ½ hours. Whew! Jake slept a bit but I just couldn’t. I was restless. But they did have a free in flight movie which was Kung Fu Panda. It was actually a cute movie; I figured it was free why not take advantage of something free. =) When we got to the airport we caught the Disney Magical Express to our hotel, got checked in and went and had…yep you guessed it FOOD!!! I know what you’re thinking; oh bother all she’s going to blog about is food. Ha-ha. Nope but I will say this we did go to the Cape May CafĂ© in the Beach Club resort buffet for dinner. It was really good. It was their Clambake night. Too bad Jake & I don’t eat clams, mussels and oyster’s cuz there were plenty and it was all you can eat. ANDREW, you would have had a feast just on those alone.



I had a surprise waiting for me when we got to our room. Jake had ordered a beautiful bouquet of flowers and had them delivered to our room before we got there. He’s such a romantic. They are absolutely gorgeous. That was the first surprise, read on.


After dinner we strolled down back to our resort by the manmade beach between ours and the Beach Club resort. On our way back we walked by a big movie screen sitting out at the beach and there was a movie just starting on the big screen. Every night they have a different movie to watch so that guests can watch a different movie. The movie tonight was College Road Trip with Martin Lawrence and Raven Simone (? spelling), Disney of course. There was also a fire pit where guests of the resorts were roasting marshmallows and making s’mores. They sure did look yummy but we had just eaten a big dinner with desserts so we had to pass. But maybe tomorrow night or another night we can take advantage of that. After all we are going to be here 7 more nights. He-he. As we continued on our stroll we came across a cute baby bunny running around checking things out. I think he wanted s’mores too!


We headed back to our room and my 2nd surprise awaited me. Jake had ordered an anniversary dessert. It was a solid white chocolate Minnie Mouse and 4 white chocolate covered strawberries. Oh were they yummy! What a great surprise. I asked if he had anymore ‘surprises’ in store and he said, “Maybe, we’ll have to wait and see”.

If you ever are going to visit WDW and you are looking to save just a bit of $, go to the website Garden Grocer and order any items you might want. We ordered breakfast items like, milk, orange juice, cereals, mini bagels, sodas and water. They came in handy as we ate in the morning in our room that way we didn't have to have breakfast out every morning in the parks. Tomorrow we are visiting the Magic Kingdom. Goodnight all. See you next blog.
