BLT - Day Zero
Category We took the noon flight from Pittsburgh to Orlando, non-stop. Hopped off the plane, went down to the not-so-magical express, found our line to the Contemporary and waited. And waited. Who knew that Monday afternoons were a busy time for ME?
After we finally were on the bus, we did our usual routine. Pull out the iPhone splitter and earbuds, loaded up iTunes, and played Wishes, followed by Spectromagic. Usually this is enough to get us to the resort we’re staying at, but we had to play a few additional tunes this trip. The not-so-ME stopped at the Polynesian and Floridian first. Darn! We were so excited we didn’t want to wait anymore!
So, we got to the Contemp, but our eyes went straight to BLT. Beautiful, and to think in a short time we would be there. We went to the registration desk and checked in. Of course, the first thing we asked was how early we could check into BLT. I wanted to go down at 12:01 and check in, but the folks at the desk said the earliest we could check in was 6:00 am. Bummer. So we went to check out our room in the Contemp, dump stuff, have our Owners Lockers and groceries delivered to the room. We were in 4677, which I think was a great room. Right off the elevators so not a far walk. And a gorgeous view of the lake with Epcot off in the distance. I can’t believe we did not take pictures. Duh. We just weren’t thinking I guess. Too focused on BLT.
After we got all of our stuff delivered we decided enough is enough, it’s time to go snoop at BLT. First we stopped at the registration desk again and asked a different person, what time can we check into BLT? Told the same thing, 6:00 am. Sigh. We’ll ask again, never fear.
So we walked over to BLT and the first thing we noticed were all of the birds hanging out on the building. I've got to admit, it was a little scary. Like they were all there keeping an eye on the place, making sure we didn't get too close. Weird.
