We left
Saturday morning at 6 am. The trip was basically uneventful. Ran into a tiny bit of rain after we got into
Florida, but other than a bit more traffic than I was expecting, it was a
pretty boring drive.

| We're Home! |
Arriving at
Port Orleans French Quarter, our room wasn’t quite ready, but within 5 minutes
it was. We had requested a ground floor
room close to the transportation. Our
room was perfectly situated, close to transportation and less than two minutes
(at a slow pace) to both the pool and the Main Lobby. We couldn’t have asked for a better location
if we had specified which room we wanted!
After
unpacking and freshening up we headed to the Polynesian for dinner at ‘Ohanas. And the rain started. And I remembered I had forgotten my wallet
(including picture ID) so we had to go back to the room! During this time it was raining so hard I
could not see where I was going. Somehow
we made it back to the room and grabbed my wallet and headed back to
Polynesian. Good thing we were heading
out early!
Last time we
went to dinner at Polynesian there was plenty of parking. Not so this time! The time we saved by driving (instead of
using the bus system) was wasted in looking for a place to park. There is some construction going on with the
parking lot (never did find out what that was) making less parking spaces
available.
We finally
make it inside (after another brief shower as we are walking from the farthest
spot in the lot!) and we are a few minutes early. We are allowed to check in and we spend some
time looking at the pool and lake from the lobby.
I would like
to insert here a personal observation. I
have zero idea why anyone would want to stay in the over water bungalows. The water is yucky. Looking out from the second floor lobby, the
only blue spot you saw was the pool!
Our dinner
was fabulous! Everyone ate way too much
food. Our server was more than
attentive, and the entertainment (which I did not remember from before) was
great!
