Day 1 - Florida Rain
I didn’t get around to posting about travel day because I was so tired so I’ll try and do that the next few days although I’ll probably forget (Update: I never did manage to write my travel day blog)...
Thanks to the baby we were woken up at half 6 this morning after a very long/tired drive up from Miami and not arriving at our hotel until after 11pm it didn’t help that my clever hubby decided to let him sleep in our bed since he wouldn’t fall asleep in his travel cot though...
At 8 o’clock we got an email saying our room at All Star Sports wasn’t ready, 10mins later it was and we had our room number, so we decided to check out, and go get some breakfast at Chick-fil-A and then head down to AS…
We hired a double buggy from Kingdom Strollers but the lady at reception said it wasn’t there so I phoned them (thankfully I had the T-Mobile sim!) and was told the driver had accidentally dropped it off at the wrong hotel 4 miles away but they refunded a days hire so I wasn’t too mad. The only problem was I googled the hotel I thought it was in and it turned out it was in a different one with a similar name 2mins away (that’s what happens when you can’t listen to instructions properly…) then I realised it was going in the boot with the rest of the luggage so they agreed to keep it until later on…
So off we went again, this time to IHOP (again - that’s where we ended up last night on the way up) because our oldest wanted strawberry and banana pancakes. The quality at Kirkmann Rd was better than I-drive last year but the two servers that were there were like night and day, ours being night…
After brekkie we drove down to All Star and checked in, freshened up a bit and then went to get the buggy again. Then ended up spending over $300 in Walmart but to be fair we did get a lot of Disney things instead of paying park prices so I’m not too mad about how much we spent.
6pm: Now we’re sitting in the MK car park giving the boys time to sleep and waiting for the storm to calm down a bit. I think we could be a here a while but at least our feet are ready to go (we had rain covers on our shoes)…
Only problem is… I was supposed to get keratin treatment for my hair 2 weeks ago but the appointment was moved to Monday just before we left and I’m not allowed to get my hair wet and we don’t know what we’ve done with the ponchos *ahem*
So now we need to decide brave it… or waste our first day and go back to the hotel which will disappoint our eldest but either way we’re getting wet…
Update… we’ve decided to go back to the hotel because the stupid ponchos aren’t keeping my hair from getting wet… ah well, we’ve still got 2 weeks to go.
We ended up ordering pizza on the Disney app and Stefan took a walk in the rain to collect it from the food court. It was still pouring at this rate so he was soaking by the time he got back.
