HALLOWEEN FUN AT WDW
Hello, my name is Mary and this will be our second trip to WDW this year. I’m going with my son Chuck, my daughter in law Karen, my grandson Jesse age 10 and my granddaughter Zoey age 8.
I’ve been looking forward to this trip since we returned from our trip in April. Because of health issues I will need to use a scooter again and will need a wheelchair at both airports. This means I will be among the first to board, YAYYYY, and I have an aisle seat. It also means I will be among the last to deplane, BOOOO.
My family is driving down and left on the 5th of October around 4pm. That makes it easier on me for them to take my luggage so all I have to carry is my purse and cane.
My cousin Joan picked me up a little before 5am to drive me to the airport. She is so sweet to do this for me and to pick me up on the 13th around noon.
I got my wheelchair and got through security with no problems and sat down to wait for my flight. It arrived right on time and I boarded. There was already a lady in the window seat so I knew not to get comfortable in the aisle seat because there would be someone in the middle seat. We are ready to take off with good weather.
We arrived a good 15 minutes ahead of time, but our place at the airport was still being occupied by another plane. So we arrived at our scheduled time anyway. My wheelchair was ready for me and we got to where you go to baggage either A or B. I told the woman it was B, and she asked to see my flight paper which stated it was A only for certain airlines. She took that to mean we had to go down A because it stated it was right by the escalator. I told her there was also an escalator by B, but to A we went. What do you know? My Mears ride was not there. She called and found out we should have gone to B. What a shock! My Mears ride was waiting for me right where he should be and we took off to Davensport where we had a condo in the Champions Gate community. We got there in good time and mercifully the driver didn’t want to chat. I just wanted to sit in peaceful silence and watch the scenery. We reached our condo and I got out, thanked him and opened the door to my grandkids and son greeting me with hugs. My daughter in law was getting some much needed sleep from the long drive. Jesse and Zoey couldn’t wait to show me their room. It was all decorated as if it was a pirate ship with two beds and a sculpture of Capt. Jack on the wall. Everything in the room was pirate themed. Even the kitchen had a pirate chandelier. It was a beautiful place with a small pool in the back.
I went to my beautiful room and freshened up for our first day at Magic Kingdom.
Chuck loaded my scooter into the car and off we went. I just love our first walk down Main Street. Our first fastpass was for Thunder Mountain. Then we went on Buzz and my score was pitiful as usual. Chuck’s was the highest it can go. He knows all the tricks to get a high score. I do too but somehow it doesn’t work for me. Our next stop was the Carousel of Progress. Now I could sit through a few shows of this at least, but we only did one. I just love it.
Chuck and Jesse went on Mission to Mars and the ladies all went into the big tent to do some shopping. I got a cookie and churro flavored popcorn. YUMMMMMMM!
When Chuck and Jesse came back the kids went on the Barnstormer. Then my favorite ride. It was time for our fastpass to Peter Pan. I wave to Nana and OFF WE GOOOOOOO!
The hunger hit and we went to Cosmic Rays. Since I am going off my short notes and didn’t write them up while there, I have no idea what we ate, but it was good as it always is.
