September 11, 2007 Day 2 Part 1

Well when we got back to the room last night, I got things ready for the morning and then wrote my TR notes and also set the wake up call for 6:45 am. I looked at the clock and said “oh its only 12:30am” I though we had left PI around Midnight and thought that we were good on time. I went to bed setting the wake up call and not thinking that was odd what so ever!

So Mickey woke mom up with Stitch now she figured out why I make her take the bed closest to the phone. I can sleep longer and she is forced to get up :evil: Come on like you all don’t do the same to your spouse, SO, or family members! I just own up to it She got showered and dressed and packed and I slept till about 7 am. Or so I thought….

Well I got my phone and looked at mom and she asked me why I looked like I was ready to bite her head off! It wasn’t 7am and no last night we didn’t go to bed at 12:30. No it was 8am and we went to bed at 1:30!!! This wouldn’t have been a problem except we still had breakfast to get, check out, pack up the car, go to Saratoga Springs and check in and get to EPCOT by 9am. Oh and I still had to shower and dress Yeah my plans right OUT THE WINDOW! On that !

So I quickly got ready and tossed everything into any bag we had just to get it to the next hotel. Then I made sure we super duper triple checked the room to make sure we had everything including any kind of KEY there was or possibly could be. No repeats of the events yesterday! Once we knew the room was empty we left and loaded the newly named rental Car. We decided to name it the Miniature Hearse. We looked at the PT Cruiser and that was the first thing that came to mind not to mention that the car was on 19,000 miles old and already looked ready for the scrap heap. It was dirty inside, stains on the seats, scuff marks and tears on the rug and plastic parts of the molding. The bumper was covered in scratches and when you hit the gas it didn’t go , it replied “I think I want to go but I’m not sure yet” Never again will I rent a PT Cruiser or a convertible.

Ok so now that my rant about the car is done, its loaded, and we are ready to go right? Ummm no we have to go check out first. So Mom drives over to the Check in desk and parks in front of the door. I tell her to wait outside take photos of whatever she can and I’ll be right out. So I leave her the digital Camera and head inside to the front desk. Before I can even get to the desk I get stopped by a different research team member and get asked to take a short survey. Sure why not will give mom time to take photos right? So I finish the supposedly 5 minute survey in about 1 since we only stayed 1 night and didn’t use the pool, or shop so it went by pretty fast. I got a roll of stickers pretty much as a thank you. Where was that free cruise for taking a survey So I was helped pretty fast by a CM at the desk to check out verified all charges were paid (there were none) and that we were out of the room. That way Mousekeeping could go in and clean it.

I went outside and of course Mom is already sitting ready to go but this time in the passenger side seat. So no sight seeing for me I’ll have to focus on the road. I asked her how many photos she took and I get this for an answer “oh just 3” ok so that’s better then none but frankly 3 was just too little for me but wait till you see her “photos”

Now when I told her to take photos I thought she knew I meant of the resort, you know the building, the scenery, something to remember the hotel by. No this is what we got!







That’s it folks three photos of a Disney Cruise Bus! May 2008 needs to get here soon she is in serious Cruise withdrawal. And a lesson in focusing too is needed!

So with our 3 photos, 6 bags, and Munchkin started we drive out and say goodbye to our hotel for the night and look forward to our next stop. Saratoga Springs where we will check in to our Home for the next 7 nights.
