Dollface...CindyC 18 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hi! Well, we had a GREAT time on our first family trip to Disney World. Here's a few photos and some details. Thanks to all the fiends who made this a MAGICAL vacation!Ken finished up his work around noon and I left work around 2:30pm on Friday Aug 17th. We were pulling out of the driveway at 4pm! The weather was good and we were making good time. There was a bit of traffic, but it was moving.The girls (Casey -9, and Kylie -6) were so excited to finally be on our way to Disney!We drove for about 1 hr before we stopped for gas, then got the kids settled down in their pjs. Other than some construction traffic in PA on rt 81, we made good time and stopped in Harrisburg, PA at a Cracker Barrel for the night at about 12:30am.We all woke around 8am Sat morning had a good breakfast at CB then headed out. We stopped at a playground in Virgina for lunch.The girls ran around and played while I made sandwiches. After about 45min we were back on the road again.Everyone was in good spirits.Rest stop in NCThen another stop for dinner at a playground again.Ken drove the entire way... he said he'd rather drive than sit in the passenger seat. We didn't hit any traffic and the going was good.We sang, watched movies, colored and slept our way to bottom of South Carolina. We stopped at about midnight in another Cracker Barrel. Just a few hours more to Disney! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dollface...CindyC 18 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 We woke up pretty late (8:30 am) on Sunday had breakfast.And we got on the road.I wanted to stop at the FL welcome center, but Ken didn't feel like pulling in. So, no free OJ for us. oh well.I was live chatting with a few of the Fiends (Bob, Doodle, etc) as we were pulling into the area. They "talked" me right into our site! I must say it was very very fun and exciting to share the moment of arrival with them LIVE on chat. We ARRIVED about 1:30pm.Drove thru the gates, then on the the MK toll booth.The Fort!!!! so exciting. The CM on duty was very nice to us and gave us our 1st time buttons.Gotta go work on more photos. :-) Preview: we set up our site and headed to Magic Kingdom! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
