Sunday, EPCOT

Once we arrived in Orlando, we caught the Disney Magical Express, which is a motor coach and it took us to our hotel. We checked into the Contemporary Resort, with hopes of getting the Magic Kingom view from our room, which I had requested several times. That didn't work out, but we were put on the 14th floor club level instead of the 12th clue like I thought we would be on. Which worked out great. Not only did we have private access to the club lounge complete with cokes, juicem milk, beer, coffee, cookies, desserts, appetizers, breakfast, just about anythin g you would want to snack on, we also had a GREAT view of the Kingdom! And because we were on the 14th club, we only had 12 other families staying on the floor with us, so it really was like having a private everything! A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!!

After getting settled in, we dressed for dinner and hopped in the monorail from the comfort of our own hotel and zipped over to EPCOT for dinner in Norway. We enjoyed the Storybook princess character dining at Akershur! The kids got to meet 5 princesses, and get autographs on the 1st night! And how cute was AH in her OllieGirl Belle ballgown???




As soon as we left dinner and loaded up the kids in the strollers, we started filling rain drops and honestly within 5 minutes we were in the middle of a hurricane!!! We took off our shoes and literally ran as fast as we could to shelter which started out being a margarita stand in Mexico, but because the wind was hurricane force, that didn't help much so we took off again. This time we made it to a merchandise store and waited it out there. 20 minutes and $100+ later, we were booking it back to the monorail, in wet pants and new Disney sweatshirts. Thankfully this was the only rain we had all week.
