We left for our trip on June 11th at about 4:45 in the morning. We loaded up the car with several bags and headed for the airport. There is not a direct flight from Omaha to Orlando, so we had a layover in Houston. We could not have asked for a better trip down there. Our flights were all on time, and honestly, Lilly did a pretty good job flying for her first time. I took the first leg, and Jovan took her on the second one. Luckily we booked our flights so early that we got an amazing price on them, therefore allowing us to buy Lilly her own seat. Oh what a difference that makes!

Once we got to the Orlando airport, I headed straight to Enterprise, and to my surprise, there was NO ONE in line (that is just unheard of)! I walked right up, got our van, and we were on our way to the condo!
After some time, we got all checked into our condo and headed to our rooms to explore our digs for the week. We stayed at the Westgate Villa Resort. This place was HUGE! I'm still on the fence with Disney property vs. off-site, but that's a post for another day! The one thing I will say about staying off-site is you get to stay in large rooms with all of the amenities right there for you like a full kitchen and washer & dryer. It was also nice because my parents got their own room, we got our own room, and the girls got their own room. Perfect situation! :)
Once we got settled and unpacked, we did the normal first night things--dinner and grocery shopping! We then got home and to bed in preparation for a big morning the next day! When we got back to our rooms, we found that the Princesses (aka ME) had come to visit the room! My friend Heather did this for her daughter years ago on one of their trips, and I copied it when we took Lainey 3 years ago. I have so much fun coming up with the stuff, and Lainey gets such a kick out of being "visited" by the characters each night.
All in all, we couldn't have asked for a better trip down there!
