The trip down was relatively uneventful, if not that quiet. There was a family a few rows behind me: mother, father, 5-year old son, 4-year old son, 3-year old TWINS! Needless to say, as soon as the "Fasten Seatbelt" sign was turned off, the poor mother was up and about and digging out various toys, snacks and video games to keep her boys happy and less "yell-y".
We did have to wait about 40 minutes before we actually took off, but we only landed about 10 minutes later than scheduled, so, not too bad. I did enjoy the extra leg room, and I got a bunch of reading done on the plane too.
My friend, Jonathan, who is also the coordinator of this whole shebang, was able to meet me at the airport, and we stopped for lunch at Panera before heading to the All-Star Resorts complex. They were able to provide me with a free(!) Park Hopper pass for the day, and I think I really am going to try to make all four Parks somehow over the next couple of hours. The Disney Hollywood Studios (formerly known as the Disney-MGM Studios) are open until 1:00am, so I think I'm going to head over there after the fireworks at Epcot, and stand in line for the Tower of Terror and the Rock'N'Roll Rollercoaster - which has never been open on any of my previous visits?!?!!? It better be working today.
It does look like it's going to rain this afternoon, but I have an umbrella. And I'd rather be caught in the rain down here in Disneyworld than almost anywhere else.
