Day two - Travelling

Awake at 5.40am and checked out of Travelodge ready to head to airport at 6.40am.

Drop off hire car and checked in by 7.55am. We thought we would head through security now in case there was a queue and were through by 8.10am!

We headed to Burger King and got breakfast. Here is the first of our food photos of the holiday:

I bought myself an Ipod Nano in the Duty Free & Kev got himself some Aftershave.

Flight was due to take off at 10.25 but didn’t take off until 11.00am.

On the Flight:



For lunch I had the Beef Cobbler:

Kev had Chicken & Mash:

The boys both had the pasta kids meals:




I am probably the only person who enjoys plane food but it was really nice!

We landed in Orlando Airport at 3.00pm and were all organised heading to the right hand queue which was the shortest anyway only to find I had missed off a bit of the visa waiver forms so had to go back out of the line to fill them in! Luckily we were allowed back to the front again once we had done.

We picked up our bags (after a minor panic of not being able to find the buggies!)

We then managed to waste loads of time visiting the “Restrooms” etc. before eventually picking up our hire car and leaving the airport at 4.40pm.

Oh my god how scary was it driving in the US on the wrong side of the road! As you will see is a common pattern to our driving we headed out of the airport and promptly ended up heading in completely the wrong direction! We eventually realised this and managed to get on the right road and arrived at Pop Century Resort at 5.30pm!

We checked in and were allocated a room in the nineties block which has a mobile phone on the outside of the block.


We headed over the food hall and used our first Counter Service Credits to get Chicken Nuggets for me:

A Double Bacon Cheeseburger for Kev:

Kids Chicken Nuggets for the boys. We also bought a couple of refillable mugs as well.

Tommy was nearly nodding off in his dinner so we ate up quickly then headed back to the room to bed. Boys in bed and asleep by 8.15pm and us about 9.15pm! (1.15am & 2.15am UK time)
