Same here...I was so busy the first few days I got back, then had to prep to come back to college...just flew by so quickly, I've been working on mine here and there when I have the time. Hopefully I can finish the whole thing within the next few days.

Oh, and by the way...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Ok.. so here we go... my g/f and i traveled down to the world for am 8 day/7 night grand circle tour of WDW... were planning to do as much as we possibly could on our trip... even venture to enemy territory (a funny story as you will see) this is how our trip went... (pics to follow)

Tuesday 8-23

Our flight took off from ISP on Long Island at 8am with a change in Baltimore (the direct flight was ridiculously expensive, and I flew free down from my Southwest credit card) We arrived in MCO around 12:30... not too bad considering I was figuring at least 1... We picked up our bags at baggage claim and picked up our rental car at Enterprise ($200 for 8 days, and it was an Impala no less)

We arrived at OKW around 1:30 and immediately checked in... We found that we would be in building 20 near the pool and the bus stop but far from the Hospitality House (thank you rental car) We put down our stuff, got set to go and immediately drove to Epcot (a short trip honestly) we went in and sped directly to TT and then to SSE... we had 3:30 dinner reservations at Coral Reef so we didnt want to venture too far... We visited The Seas with Nemo and friends and then went to dinner. Because of our reservation time we were able to once again sit right in front of the glass for dinner... It was an awesome sight and one that I can never seem to get enough of... Afterward we took in Soarin' LWTL and JII because it began to rain, and then we viewed Captain EO... Once the rain subsided we took a walk around World Showcase and then to Mission:Space... We stayed for Illuminations and watched between the 2 Port of Call shops... This was a pretty excellent view in that the wind was blowing away from us and the had a railing spot looking directly at the front of the presentation... Epcot had EMH so we stayed until 1...
For a first day this was good considering we weret planning on going to any of the parks originally... it was an interesting day and just a preview...
