Day 1: We're Off and Flying!
We arranged for a Super Shuttle to pick up all three households at 8am and take us to DIA.
Our flight was at 11:40 and we figured in Denver traffic. DH got up and ready, got kids going and I was done by 7:15am. I sat down to a leisurely bagel with a smear when DH reports that Super Shuttle is here! This is 7:30am and I'm halfway through the bagel! Kids are flipping out,DH goes to check it out while I call DN and DB and tell them to kick it up a notch. Shuttle man says he can hang out for 25 minutes and come back...but hey early is better than late and he'll stop at Starbucks! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] So we get my parents and head for the Java. Our friendly Starbucks workers are chatting away and percolating in slow motion...then they can figure out how to change the register tape! Hello, date with the mouse people...move it! Well,after that fiasco we arrive at my brother's and are on the way! Arrive at DIA, check in, get to the gate no problem! Take DS#2 and DNI for a train ride and then we board. Frontier Airlines has satellite TV now and for $5 you can watch all the way to Orlando! Best $10 I ever spent...kids are glazed-eyed but quiet! We're here!! Hello humidity! [img]graemlins/wavin.gif[/img] Hello, Tiffany Towncar...at baggage claim when we arrive. Got the bags and headed to WDW! Got to Polynesian and are assigned Rapa Nui Longhouse connecting rooms 2107,2108 and 2109. Lovely view of the parking lot. Here's the only problem with staying at the same Hotel...it's not new anymore. I love The Polynesian but we know it. Still beautiful, love the music (Pearly Shells still playing in my head!),the flowers smell amazing, pools are warm this time! Dinner at The Kona Cafe, okay, but a little funky for my DH. DH and kids hit the volcano pool while I unpack and watch Disney TV. Having fun walking in my parent's room and chatting while unpacking. Family survive pool, kids shower and get in bed. It's been a long day and tomorrow is Animal Kingdom!! [img]graemlins/wavin.gif[/img]
