The New Young on the Block: Blast from the Past- Day 1

I can't believe it's been a month since Bryan and I got married. It seems like only just yesterday we were arriving down in Disney. Since it's been a whole month I thought it might be about time to talk a walk down memory lane and tell the tales of the wedding and honeymoon. So here goes nothing!

March 18th- left at the butt-crack of dawn to go to the airport. Once we boarded our plane we talked to the flight attendants a little and the next thing we know they made an announcement asking for Bryan and I to raise our hands. The steward informed everyone on board that we were off to get married and asked everyone to give us a round of applause (and of course a smarty pants in the back shouts don't do it) and gave us a complimentary bottle of champagne! It was so nice of them and they were so accommodating, I don't know why I've gone so long without flying Southwest. The prices for the flights are usually pretty good if you book in advance, and the flight crew is so awesome (from the two experiences that I've had so far, more on the second great experience later). I highly recommend Southwest to anyone at least considering flying to Orlando, they're one of the only airlines that have direct flights and they still allow each passenger to have 2 free checked bags, not a bad deal! Anyways, the rest of the day was pretty uneventful. We got to Orlando and walked to the magical express and made our way to the Boardwalk Villas. The Boardwalk Inn and Villas, by the way, are extremely beautiful to stay in and the property is so wonderful. We stayed in a studio room and had a great location that was right off of the main pool and pretty close to the boardwalk itself (the room was a little far from the lobby but we really didn't mind). After checking into our room we hopped over to the Magic Kingdom for a little bit before coming back to the room to get ready for dinner. We had dinner reservations at 'Ohana at the Polynesian. It was my first time back here in a while and I have to say I thought it was excellent! We had a picture perfect view from our table of the castle! The food was excellent it's a family style (which means they bring it to your table) all you care to enjoy and has pineapple coconut bread, salad with a mango-poppy seed dressing, honey coriander chicken wings, pork fried dumplings, and huge skewers of oak grilled chicken, asian bbq pork loin, marinated sirloin steak, and spicy peel-n-eat shrimp, along with asian egg noodles, stir fried vegetables, and of course bananas and caramel bread pudding for dessert. I told you....lots of food. There was way more food than Bryan and I could even hope to try. I think between the two of us we managed to try one of everything. But, guaranteed the with all this you will not walk away hungry (and if you do something is wrong!!). The meal overall was just wonderful, for anyone looking for restaurant recommendations for their next trip I would highly recommend giving 'Ohana a try, after all they are family....haha get it?! 'Ohana means family...anyone? Bueller? Oh well. After dinner we made our way back to the Boardwalk where we met Meghan and Dave for drinks in the Belle Vue Lounge. It was a pretty quiet evening and we had fun just sitting out and enjoying the fact that after almost 2 years of counting down we were finally in Disney and Bryan and I were getting married in 4 days.
