We depart SBY at 0805, headed form PHL. Our connecting flight leaves at 1044, headed for Orlando. We'll be met by Mears Transportation's Chris Peters, who will transport us to Bay Lake Tower, at Walt Disney World. Whether our room is ready, or not, we'll go to the Wave Lounge in The Contemporary for an afternoon snack and drink. We have an 1800 reservation for dinner at Citricos. | |||
At 0600, it’s 49. At 0542, we were up before the 0545 alarm and out of the house by 0630 in a light rain. Check-in was easy, but TSA has changed and anything larger than a phone (iPad) must also be removed for separate scanning. We boarded in a timely manner and departed on runway 32 at 0759, 6 minutes early. The ride to PHL was rather bumpy and we landed on 9L, early. It's snowing, but not sticking on neither the runways nor ramps. Numerous flights have been cancelled, but ours is still showing on time. We stopped at Cibo for Bloody Marie's (14) and breakfast sandwiches (8) before proceeding to gate B11. We boarded on time and pushed back at 1045, precisely as scheduled. At 1055, we're wheels up from runway 9L and headed south. We had drinks and shared a cheese & fruit tray before landing at 1310, 20 minutes early. Chris Peters was waiting for us and whisked us to Bay Lake Tower where room 8128 was ready and waiting for us. We unpacked and went down to The Wave Lounge. We picked up booze for the room and returned there for a little R&R. We left the room at 1715, taking the monorail to the Grand Floridian and Citricos. | |||
