You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly!​

I was nice and snug in my bed when I hear, "Sarah, it's Disney day!" I rolled over and jumped out of bed. The day I had been waiting for was finally here! I got ready and we packed the last minute things and we were out the door by 3:30 AM. My dad drove my mom and I to the airport; we got there around 4:00. My dad got all of things out of the trunk and we said our goodbyes. Before we got into the check-in line, my mom told me to turn around and don't look at our suitcases. I did as I was told and we made it through the check-in and security. We found our gate then decided to find breakfast.
Since this trip was my birthday present from my mom, we decided to have cake from Let them Eat Cake in the airport.

Our flight was at 6:00 AM, so we had a bit of waiting to do. We played on our iPads a read. Before I knew it, it was time to board the plane and head to Disney! The flight seemed as though it took only 5 minutes. It went by so quickly! Before we landed, I put my magic band on, so I was ready to go! We landed at MCO and headed to the fake-o-rail. Before we got on, my mom told me the secret she'd been keeping for months. We were supposed to stay at Coronado Springs, but she changed our reservation to the Contemporary. I was beyond ecstatic because that is both of our favorite resort. We made it down to the Magical Express where there was bus waiting for us. It was almost full, so we had to sit separately. The lady I was sitting next to was really friendly. She even noticed the graduation wrap I had on my magic band and asked about it! I was closer to the front, so I attempted to take a picture of the infamous sign. The Contemporary was the last stop after the Wilderness, the Poly, and the Grand.

When we got to the resort, we didn't need to stop to check-in, but we did go to the front desk to get my birthday and I'm Celebrating (graduation) buttons. The cast member was great, she even put tape over what she wrote so it didn't get wet and rub off. We were hungry because we only had cake earlier that morning, so we headed to the Contempo Cafe. We got a snack and our refillable mugs (I live for the iced tea in Disney) and decided on what we would do that day since it wasn't even noon.

Stay tuned to see what we decided to do!​
