Fantastic weather, great time! Our weekend trip to WDW for the EPCOT flower show and my birthday was great! Stephanie leaves for college in the fall and is our youngest so this was a wonderful memory trip for me.
We took a train to the Philadelphia airport. I have not heard good things about this airport and we normally fly out of BWI but we had no problems with the airport or Air Tran. And we got to start our trip with the Earl of Sandwich since they have a location in the airport terminal!:thumbsup:
Arrival at MCO -no problems with getting to POP. Magical Express was quick and easy.
I had not done online check -in but it took less than 5 minutes to get out room keys. We were assigned a room in the 90's section so I asked to be moved to the 50's section, top floor. No problem.
When we got to the room we unpacked. The section we were in wasn't crowded-did not hear much activity from rooms around ours. The room on one side had 3 large bags with outlet mall shoe boxes and paper trash sitting outside the door. That trash sat there for the entire weekend. It didn't bother us but shame on housekeeping for not removing it!!
Our room was fine -we have stayed at POP and know what to expect. The towels were not very soft and are thin-they need to replace them. Our beds were comfortable except the pillows were large and not very soft-probably new cheaper pillows. The room was clean enough but it probably should we due for an upgrade.
There was a towel puppy in the window but it had no EYES or any stickers on it. Just a folded towel. Whoever in housekeeping that took care of these either has no clue to the charm of these or just didn't care. other rooms had the plain white towel shapes sitting in the window looking sad and non-magical.
Whenever the room was last serviced the housekeeper did not finish getting it restocked. We had no TOLIET paper. I called housekeeping to get some brought up and some extra towels.
After unpacking we were off to Kona's.
