It was hot hot hot but fun fun fun......

Ok I am going to give this trip report thing a try. It may not be as entertaining as some but I am going to give it a shot.

Well our flight was set for 4 pm Sunday October 11, 2009. We left home in a small town in south central Tennessee and drove to Nashville to catch our flight. We arrived in Nashville and did a little pre shopping at Opry Mills Mall before our vacation. We were able to leave our van at the hotel that we would be staying at when we arrived in Nashville on the following Friday (we would be attending a foster care conference the weekend we arrived back into Nashville). We arrived at the airport about 2 hours prior to the flight.

FAST FORWARD>>>>>>>>Ok, we arrived at MCO and not knowing anything about the Disney transportation I got a little stresses. When I finally walked to the end of the rental car area and saw the lovely Disney people I was able to relax...so I thought. When we got on the bus and saw that it was pretty quick that we got on and left....I began to worry...what about my luggage. I knew that Disney took care of it but I was still a little stresses.

So about 30 minutes later we arrive at CBR and check in. Fast check in due to using the online check in....I RECOMMEND THIS!!!! We jumped on the tram and finally found our room in Aruba. It was very nice...we got a corner room!!!!! We were not far from the bridge so we thought....lol. We walked to Port royale and had supper and got a little familiar with things and how the dining plan worked. Since we were pretty tired from the flight and the scenic walk over we decided to take the tram back to the room. We had to wait and wait and wait for our luggage but it arrived just on time...pretty much exactly 3 hrs after arriving...just what they tell you when you get inpatient and call...LOL.....ok, so once our luggage got there and we unpacked it was time to hit the hay...........................1st full day to come.....may take a few days....start back to work tomorrow plus I take on line classes....please be patient...

You're doing fine! You sound like me--I get stressed when I do anything like that for the first time. I also really liked the on-line check-in, and have gotten to love Disney Magical Express--except for a really early flight. I particularly like checking bags at the resort.
