Photo 79/365: Disney diary day 1

Today we find ourselves in the wonderful world of Disney. Apart from the scattered showers and chilly weather, it is already a splendid vacation. This is only our second visit, and I couldn't be sure the first wasn't a fluke, but so far it is living up to the legend we've made for it in our six year absence. The resort is nice, the transportation is reliable and friendly, and dinner in Disney Springs was everything we wanted it to be—all dinosaurs and meteors and mammoths (forget the fact that these things didn't actually exist all together, this is a land of fantasy after all).

Today was a travel day, made ever so easy by Disney's Magical Express, which whisked took us from the drab Orlando airport and dropped us directly into the Happiest Place on Earth. No need to get our bags, those were delivered to our room for us; no need to check in, our keys, in the form of wrist bands that are also our meal plan, were shipped to our home ahead of travel. The minute we arrived we were ready to hit the ground running. We did this by dropping our carry-ons in the room and hopping the bus to Disney Springs for some shopping at Pin Traders and dinner at T-Rex. I can already the deluxe meal plan will be overkill, with an appetizer, entree, dessert, and drink for each diner, but a delightful overkill at that. Tomorrow is Epcot, so early to bed and early to rise.
