We are here!
Typing on a tablet so we'll. See how this goes. We left the house at 345am. Our flight got off without a hitch. The boys liked the flight and. Did well.
In Toronto they were a bit annoying. The boredom of waiting in security lines got to them and they started bugging each other, etc. We eventually got to our gate and they had ipad stations which was a perfect distraction. We boarded about 15 minutes late. Got settled and then sat there. And sat there. And sat there. Pilot gave us a couple of updates on the delay and then we sat some more. Quite frustrating. We finally took off 2 hours late. By this time we were starving and so thirsty. But since we hadn't taken off they weren't serving anything yet. It was tough. Hhe boys were good but we had gone through every distraction we had brought before we even took off. By the time we took off we were starving. They started serving food from the front back and we were in the second last row. By the time they got to us they had one choice of food. A breakfast sand. So we got that and some candy. We ended up making good time and landing an hour and a half after planned. We were really happy to get off the plane.
From that moment though things went perfectly. It weasily made it to the Disney buses. Absolutel lovved stepping out to a beautiful day about 20c. Got on the bus to the resort. Pulling up the boys spotted the McQueen building. I could see the awe on their faces when we walked into.The resort. It is totally awesome. We just had our carry on because they take the luggage directly from the plane to your room at the resort.
We waited about 10 seconds in line and a cast member (that's what they are called here) pulled us aside and checked us in on an ipad. So quick and easy. He wrote down our room number and was in the midst of giving us directions when. He stopped short and quietly said, is your heart set on the little Mermaid room? The resort is in 4 sections. The little Mermaid rooms are standard hotel rooms with a little Mermaid theme. The other 3 sections are finding Nemo, lion King and cars. But they are family suites and 3 times the price. I told him no I wasn't set on little Mermaid and he said he's be right back while he checked on something. 5 minutes later he was back letting us know that he upgraded us to a cars suite! It is unbelievably awesome. The little Mermaid rooms are a far walk, and just two double beds. The cars suit had a queen bedroom with full bathroom ensuite, a pullout couch and a pull down bed that is a table that turns into a bed which the boys think is the coolest thing they've ever seen. And it really is. A second full bathroom. A mink fridge and it I'd head to tow (haha) cars theme. It is sooooo cool! So the Disney magic started the moment we walked in general door.
There are 3 pools and the boys were desperate to get into one. We changed into our bathing suits and went for a swim. It was a bit chilly out in the shade, but beautiful.In the sun. We swam for about 40minutes in the cars pool, walked around and took pictures with all the full size replicas of the cars and then got warmed up. Our bags were being dropped off at our room when we got back. The guy dropping them off gave the boys mickey mouse stickers. We went to the food court for dinner. Owen was about one second from a total meltdown so.re ran back to our room and. Rushed teeth and threw the boys into bed by 630. We didn't hear a single peep.from them! Fast asleep in seconds!
Tomorrow is supposed to rain but we'll. Make the most of it!

How fabulous of Disney to have upgraded you from a Little Mermaid 'room' to a Cars 'Suite' ! The beds sound so cool- and so fun...it must be truly 'magical' for the boys to be sleeping in them !! It was wonderful to hear the excitement in the boys voices when we called you this morning ! Anna is being an absolute sweetheart...and we are loving our time with her ! Love and Hugs to you all !
