Thank you, Global Entry
you’re almost there!
heavy sigh
Have I made a tactical blunder? Followed signs to Ground Transportation. Didn’t see signs for ride shares. But saw a bunch of Mears taxis. So got in one.
Up charge lounge? I thought this was an economy trip?
You’re cheating already Matthew? 
It’s a Don’t Catch A Disease trip. Upcharge lounge much less crowded.
Hagrid is currently posting a 45 min wait. VelociCoaster is 25 min.
Well go get in one of them already!? 
Wow perfect way to start a trip.
You do realise that’s the equivalent of “are we there yet”? ![]()
My Lyft XL to Loews Portofino was $56.50 before tip…so that’s not bad.
This is what we Brits have to put up with when we come over. And most of us, unlike @sanstitre_has_left_the_building, have to fly economy. 9 hrs of leg cramps is no fun.
As one of my dad’s best friends used to tell us kids (dad’s BFF had no children), “your dad is poor because of you.” Matt doesn’t have that problem!

Yeah if I ever make it back “across the pond” it will be a very long trip bc that flight… oof.
In room. There’s good news and bad.
The room is a LONG way from the lobby. This is my fault. I booked a Volcano view room. This is my view:
Nice, right. Well, yes and no. That’s the view if I look at quite a severe angle. The straight out view is of the highway.
Lesson learned. I don’t recommend the upcharge for Volcano view rooms.
My plan. Walk the eight miles to the lobby via Starbucks and then walk (rather than bus) to the parks.
If I can do Hagrid and VelociCoaster today that will really take the pressure off the rest of the trip.
