Started off early our flight was at 7am. Got to the airport and got boarded with no problems. It was the girls first flight so it was fun to see them react the way they did. It was funny when their ears would pop they said they had air inside their head.
We arrived at MCO and checked in for ME (a first for us). The whole process was smooth, lines seemed long at first but moved pretty fast. The girls were complaining about long lines, so I told them they better get use to standing in line. We get on ME and we were the first resort to be dropped off (POP).
This was our first stay at POP, for bringing kids I think it is perfect. We checked in got our papers and went to eat in the food court. The food court wasn't bad, but being on the deluxe dining, I hate to spend the credits on something that I could actually pay out of pocket for.
Our room was ready so we took our carry on which had our swimsuits and changed and went swimming. Little did we know this would be one of our very few chances to swim over the next 9 days. After swimming our luggage arrived and we changed and went resort hopping. DW and I have talked about staying at the AKL but I wasn't super impressed with it, it was nice but to me not worth the $$$. From there we caught a bus to MK and took the monorail to the Poly (the resort my wife is dying to stay at) we showed the kids the waterfall and they really liked it, I told them we'd be back for the Luau.
We hopped the mono and went to the Contemp for ADR's at California Grill. We got there early and got seated 45 mins before our time. That was great, the kids were tired and we were getting tired. We were able to finish our dinner and watch Wishes from the observation deck. We go back in to eat dessert and one of the DD's falls asleep on the table, so we wrap it up and head back to POP.
One thing that we noticed on at this point, the menu's are seasonal and they didn't have the same stuff that we had back in Aug.
