Hi SQtalkers
This is my very first trip report so go easy on me. Anyways I left for Disney World on August 25 from YEG. As you pplz might have noticed I made a thread about my connections from YEG to ORD and my many connections in between. I'd like to say that connection went VERY smoothly. Thnx to the pplz for their advice on travelling that route. Pix will come when they are done uploading and edited.
OK! I'll start my report now. It all began at Aug 25, 2007. Mind you my whole flight was in Y. So i get to YEG at 12ish AM checkin and go through customs. Had a nice chat with the security guard cuz he was having a fun time trying to figure out where IAD (Washington DC Dulles international) was. My flight was at 1:15am so that wasn't very fun but it got be to Orlando at 2pm so I chose it and it was cheap. YEG recently got upgrades so now the airport is a lot roomier and nicer looking but still no free WIFI. It was like $18CAD for a single use and this other monthly pass thing. I would've started this report earlier but had problems finding internet or was too busy having fun. The flight to my first connection, Montreal, was not very exciting just a lot of sleeping. BUT THE SURPRISING THING WAS! My flight had AVOD! 1st time on Air Canada have I used AVOD in Y.

My flight at 1:15am AC1138
Air Canada AVOD that i've never seen before (touch screen too!)
Alright! I arrived with my 2 partners at Montreal. I'd like to say Montreal International is the most annoying airport in the world that I've been to so far. 1st of all the signage is lacking VERY lacking and when there is signage its wrong and points you in the wrong direction. I did not know I had to get my luggage at US customs then go through US customs to get to the US gates. I was lost for a good hour until I found my way around. By the time I crossed the US customs, I was starving like a mad man....next was getting to Dulles that was rush rush for my next flight because I had 40mins to connect.
Finally! I arrived at Orlando, Florida. I felt the humid heat blasting me on the face right when I left the airport. Reminded me of exiting Changi Terminal 2 and waiting for a taxi. No pix here cuz security was at Code Orange and I didn't want to upset any security guards. Got on a Taxi and went to my resort (Ginn Reunion Resort) at Kissimmee, Florida which is a nearby town just down the I4.
Famous SQFG pose but with my bag crammed into the seat so cannto see my feet.
After arriving at ORD you need to take a train to the arrival/departure halls
AMAZING! I arrived at the resort and was WOWed by how beautiful it was and even had a security at the gate. The security guard was kind of shocked to see how young me and my 2 travel buddies were because this resort is meant for more mature pplz. After checkin we were driving by concierge to our room. Its a 2300 acre property so we went through a lot of Villas and the grand hotel. I thought because I paid so little per day for my stay I'd get a crummy room until he drove to this place in the resort called Heritage Crossing. He handed my card key and helped me with the bags to the door of my resort. ZOMG! Its amazing inside. (pix to come)
