Disney World Trip 2007

We decided to go to Disney World again this year after receiving and offer we couldn't refuse from Disney. We got an amazing deal and stayed on the Disney property (at the Pop Century Resort). We flew out of Detroit on December 16th. For those of you living in the Detroit area you know that that was the day Northwest Ohio and Southern Michigan got hit with a crazy blizzard. It took us 2 hours to get to the airport (usually takes around an hour), but we made it on time for our flight. Of course, our flight was delayed 2 and 1/2 hours because the flight crew couldn't make it in on time because of the weather. I won't tell you how angry we and everyone else were that we risked our lives and left an hour early for the airport to make it in and the people for whom it was their job did not. As you can see it was pretty bad weather-wise. It took as an extra hour to get in the air because our plane had to be de-iced before we could take off. That was actually pretty cool to watch. The plane in this picture is not ours, it's the one we watched try to pull out for an hour. They were having a terrible time getting it backed up. The crew on the ground were throwing snowballs at the kids watching through the window. Syd thought this was great.



Anyway, we got into Orlando in the evening and settled into the resort. We visited Epcot that night, but made it an early night because we were all very tired from our long day (we got up at 5:00 AM). In the blogs to follow I will go through the trip park by park. These will not be in order by day because with our Park Hopper tickets we were able to visit as many parks as we wanted each day. Every day but Friday we went to one park during the day and another at night. So, again, these are events and pictures per park, not per day.

Enjoy...
