Day 14: New York - Orlando

Back again........
Landed safely in Orlando after a 2 hour flight plus 30 minutes of taxi-ing to the runway to take off from LaGuardia!!!  Apparently this taxi-ing time is always factored into your travel time.  Lucy and Zac were disappointed with their window seats as they both had a whopping jet engine mounted outside of them, so there wasn't a view at all!
Late nights/early mornings/lots of walking is catching up on all of us, everyone had a sleep on the plane which made the trip quicker.
After landing and catching the flash monorail shuttle from the arrival gates to the main terminal to collect our luggage (all three bags attracted HEAVY tags on them), we found a nice taxi driver to bring us to the Nikelodeon Family Suites.  The freeway made it a smooth drive, the gardens and lawns a lush and green, and there were plenty of Disney signs around to keep the kids excited.
The resort is huge and geared up for families.  We took a walk to check out where things are and found the food court where we all made different selections and sat in the communal tables and chairs wondering why there was a line of people just over the way.  Well.  We soon found out when our eardrums were pierced by the high pitched squeals of many young kids when Spongebob Squarepants and Partick (I didn't even know who that was) entered the room.  Zac was trying so hard to keep a cool persona but was really bursting out of his skin with excitement that Spongebob was only 10m away.  We encouraged him to go over for a photo, and I thought he was going to, but ultimately thought it wasn't a cool thing to do.  Maybe tomorrow though as we have booked a character breakfast before going to our first Disney park.  No idea what a character breakfast involves but can imagine what it will cost!
The boys are currently in the pool (it is 9.38pm) as it has just reopened after being closed for a couple of hours due to lightening being around.  The humidity is 93% and it is drizzling rain which will hopefully disappear by morning.  No photos to send tonight, but I'm sure there will be many tomorrow.
Love to everyone.
