Vacation Part 2: Disney - We're here!

We are here safe and sound, all 8 of us (Me, the Doc, the Boys, MIL, FIL, SIL & GG). We arrived in Florida on schedule at 3:15pm, but then it took us almost as long to get out of the airport as it did to fly down. After making it over to baggage claim we got our stuff and WOW did we have a lot of stuff. Between the 8 of us, we had 2 Car seats, 1 Double Stroller, 8 suitcases, 1 diaper bag, 2 tote bags, 3 carry on bags, David's backpack and other things like jackets.

The Doc and I decided to head over to get the rental cars while everyone stayed behind to wait. We just had so much stuff that it would have been a real pain to lug it all over to the off sight Thrifty. We waited in line for what seemed like forever (it was at least an hour). Since we were together we assumed we could check in both reservations together. Well apparently not, so I had to get back in line and wait some more.

After we got our cars (mine a Dodge Caravan and the Doc's a PT Cruiser in Surf Blue Pearl) we headed back to the airport to pick the rest of the gang up. We loaded all the cars and finally left the airport at 5:05 pm (exactly and I know because SIL confirmed it!) arriving at our new home for the week at about 5:45pm.

MIL found this place using HomeAway. On the way over we had hoped that we hadn't built this place up in our minds only to be disappointed. Well as soon as we walked in the door it was even better than we expected. This place really is a Palace in Wonderland! I will have pictures tomorrow but you can click on the link to see their pictures.

For now here are pictures of the boys on the plane!

We did a house when we went to Disney with my folks and sister and I would do it the same every time! It was so nice to have a house to go back to and not just a room, and even nicer to put Miles to bed and go in the pool with a glass of wine! Hope you guys enjoy the rest of your time!
