Did You Know We Almost Missed Our Plane Home?

Did you know we almost missed our plane home?

Using the Disney Magical Express to get to the airport meant we were running on their time frame. That meant we had to report to their pick up area three hours before our flight time. We got to the airport about two hours before our flight.

We checked in and went to get something to eat. It was still a little early, so we walked through a shop, went to the restroom, and took our time. Then it was time to get to the gate. Getting through security and to another terminal meant we needed to step it up now.

After passing through security, we got onto the shuttle train to the other terminal. When we got there, my husband realized this was NOT the right terminal after all! It was back where we had just come from! We were worried we would have to go through security again (taking too much time) but thankfully we did not. We began hurrying down the hall, as our name was called over the loud speaker--telling us we had sixty seconds to report to the gate!! Thankfully we were almost there, but it was at the very end. My son-the track runner-took off and got to the gate for us! We were all laughing by this time! I was afraid the other passengers would be mad, scowling, etc. There were no seats together, but I found two together for the kids. The older man they sat with was very nice and even made conversation with them. One man got up and gave us two seats together, since we were "having too much fun"!

What an end to our trip! :)
