The Plan: Sonia will pick us up around 0700 for the drive to Philadelphia Airport (PHL). AA 2502 departs at 1039, arriving in Orlando (MCO) at 1324. Chris, of Mears Transportation, will be waiting to take us to Bay Lake Tower. My scooter should arrive around 1645, and, at 1730, we have two seats at the bar in the California Grill.
ROUGH DRAFT At 0600, it’s 30. Sonia arrived at 0645 for the drive ($400) to Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). We arrived at 0830, with quick passage through baggage check and TSA. I caught a wheelchair ride ($20) out to gate B9, where we grabbed a breakfast of a Mimosa (26), A Bloody Mary (24), BEC Sandwich (12.99), and BLT Sandwich (12.99). We boarded and left on runway 27L at 1100, landing at MCO at 1300. Chris was waiting for us and took us to Bay Lake Tower (40). With our room not yet ready, we went to the Wave Lounge for drinks. Lyd had a Bomba Sapphire and Tonic (15) and a Sherbet Punch (8). Mine was a pair of Tito’s and Tonic (16@). We picked up provisions for the room at Bayview Gifts and our luggage was delivered (15) soon thereafter. At 1645, my scooter arrived (5), and, at 1730, we went to the 2nd floor to check in for the California Grill. WE had two seats at the bar and were served by Jacob, who was also making drinks for the entire dining room. Lyd had the Prix Fixe Menu starting with the BBQ Eel Roll (that I ate), Filet with a glass of Nickel Nickel Cabernet, and finished with the Flourless Chocolate Cake. I had a pair of Tito’s and Tonic (18@) and followed with the Shrimp Tempura Roll (27) and Sashimi Sampler (26). We were back in the room and in bed at 2000, awakened by the fireworks that went off at 2100.
