Hello all....well we are back landed on the 19th but has taken me a few days to get onto the Disboards. Having Disney withdrawals already
So here goes
DAY 1
Qantas flight QF7 flying economy. Two adults and three children. We bought the AA 30 day lounge pass. Got into the Qantas lounge at Sydney but the guy who let us in acted like he was doing us a favour. I had printed out the rules of the AA pass and pointed out to him but he said "yeah but I should only let you in and one guest". Although AA clearly states otherwise. What ever he let us in and was nice but thought he was doing me favour in doing so. So in we go glass of white lunch kids play area. It was worth the $100 just for that! Flight went well. At first we thought we had a spare seat but when we got onboard a very over weight man with a broken arm had taken itWe were squashed! I asked the flight attendant if he could make the man more comfortable by moving him to a spare seat. To my surprise he did! Yay we had a spare seat, this meant our son could lay down. Food onboard was alright, we were starving at one point must of been a meal time back home. Right then and there they handed out pizza slices these were yummy!. That was after our meal about three hours after. The food on the way over was much better than coming home. On the way home it was not near as nice nor near as much. So we landed in DWF. I love this airport compared to LAX! Way less busy and more organised, clean the list goes on. We had a four hour lay over so went to the AA lounge. I planned to have showeres during this time as we would land in MCO at 9.30pm. Asking for five towels was like trying to get blood out of a stone. The mexian lady I think she thought I wanted five all to myself who knows but she wasn't happy about handing them over. Lady at the front desk asked for our boarding passes before giving me the key to the showers. This was no Qantas lounge believe me. So we got our showers and were on time for the flight. The AA lounge I should mention has very little free food. Apples and pretzels. Coffee and water thats it!!! Kids section was o.k had a few computers for them to play on. We did have dinner at "Fridays" prior to boarding as the food in the AA lounge that was for purchase wasn't that nice looking. We found Fridays to be quite good though. Hubby got burger fries, two younger ones shared a kids meal of chicken bites and fries (it was big enough really for all three of them). DD13 and I had a salad each. With full bellys we got to our gate to find them boarding us. This flight was nothing it felt like a 5mins compared to the SYD to DFW leg. The AA aircraft was old outdated but it got us there in one piece so what more can I ask for. We got our luggage after landing and headed straight to MCO Hyatt. I was so glad I had booked this as we were so jet lagged by this time it was very nice to just roll into our beds. Nice hotel. I mentioned that we were Disney Cruise customers. We were given a note about what to do with our luggage. A nice gentleman came and picked our bags up out of our room at 8am. Next time we saw them was on the Cruise. Day 2 coming up
