We usually take the first flight available in the morning so we can get to our resort before noon, get checked in, and then head to MK to ride BTMRR as soon as humanly possible! Woo-hoo!!

Nah, you just are being wimpy! I flew into DL from Japan and hit the parks until closing...no naps on any rides and I was up and at the parks the next morning for opening :mrgreen:

The only problem is that when I stay up for long periods of time I go psychotic... well more so than normal. :D

We like to get to Orlando on the first flight out so we are at the patks by noon. Then we head to Pirates first as it has been a tradition for years. Then, we can move on woth the rest of the trip. LOL

It's all part of the job, the one hard part is that going on vacation usually nets me a few calls the first day from people who weren't in the loop that wonder "Are you ok?"

I usually say "check with [name] and don't call me again unless you're sending the jet for an emergency pickup" because there isn't much I can do while on vacation.

The time difference makes it nice for an early start but I bet y'all are dragging later in the day :shock: Does it take long to get accustomed to the time difference?
