We're going to Disney World!

DAY ONE: ORLANDO OR BUST!!

After hearing that Chicago was supposed to get six inches of snow today, we were nervous about our flight getting out. We woke up to three inches of snow on the ground and it was supposed to keep snowing all day. Our 12:10 flight was still supposedly on-time so we took a cab to Midway and hoped for the best. You have to give it to Southwest. They manage to fly rain or shine and our flight ended up only being delayed by 45 minutes. Dave is convinced that if we had been flying out of O'Hare we would have had a several hour delay. Nolan did great on the flight except he only managed to nap for 30 minutes all day. He was pretty animated during the takeoff and landing and thought the whole thing was pretty cool. Needless to say he crashed hard tonight! And on top of that he has a pretty bad cold which started yesterday so I'm hoping he's going to be up for everything this week. Go figure he would get sick the day before we left. His poor little nose is like a faucet.

When we got to Orlando, it was sunny and 70 degrees here...much better than back home! The condo we're staying at is gorgeous! It's the Wyndham Bonnet Creek - http://www.wyndhambonnetcreek.com/photo-gallery.php - and is practially right across the street from the Disney property. Dave's Aunt Linda and Uncle Lou were so generous and let us use a week of their time share as a wedding gift. It's 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom which is fabulous...it's great that Nolan can have his own room. Our friends Kevin, Susan, and their son Andrew were also wanting to take a family trip, so they booked at the same place and our condos are on the same floor right next to each other, so we're definitely looking forward to a fun week with them. The plan is to go to three parks over the course of the week - Animal Kingdom, SeaWorld, and Magic Kingdom.
