Back to the World!

Well here we are back at Disneyworld. This trip we are staying at Saragtoga Springs Resort. We are off to an ok start. We awoke this morning at 4:15am... the dogs were confused to say the least. We drove ourselves to the airport and decided to park in Zparking. That was great because it was raining and they are a valet service. We made it through checkin fairly quick but the long wait happened at the Dunkin Donuts. We made it to the gate, boarded right away and had a smooth quick flight on Delta. We took Magical Express transportation and were at Disney by 10:30. We had done online check in for our resort and we got our keys right away but our room was not ready. This kind of puts us in a weird state because you don't have the right bags to travel to the park with so you just seem to wander.

One great thing about this resort is the boat transportation to Downtown Disney. We decided to go over there for lunch. Of course another new thing for us this trip is we have decided to do the Disney Dining Plan. We get one counter service meal, one sit down meal, and one snack every day. We decided today we would have lunch at Wolfgang Pucks Express, a great deal on counter service credit. The food was AWESOME! The fries were fantastic! I had crispy chicken and fries and Chris had Rotisserie chicken and mashed potatoes. For dessert I had a cookie and he had frozen yogurt with strawberries. The lunch totaled $40.15 ... we have already covered one of our 39.99/day per person fee for the dining plan.

After lunch we browsed the stores at Downtown Disney and then got our call that our room was ready....HUGE dissappointment. We were in Grandstand section, close to the pool, but we had a parking lot view. Not acceptable. We like to relax on the balcony and this view was not going to cut it. Needless to say we called the front desk and they moved us to Congress Park section. Of course our view is better, I wouldn't call it premier like they did, but we are now the furthest from the main area as possible. We are in walking distance of Downtown Disney but far from the drink stations and main area. Oh well... can't win it all. These are some pictures of our new view:

Anyway it is now 3:15 and my spa appointment for my pedicure is at 4pm so I will end for now. Gotta start the long trek back to the Spa.
