Disney Daze - Part One "One room at the inn"

This is part one of our trip report to Mouseland.

Our first day basically consisted of driving nine plus hours to Florida. Before we left I found a "mystery deal" on Travelocity which promised two rooms at 4o bucks a pop at a three star hotel a half mile from Downtown Disney. When you book, they send and email revealing your room details. I had priced rooms from Daytona all the way down to Orlando and knew the price was a good one as long as the hotel was decent. I didn't really relish driving all day and then going to the parks the next so I thought an extra day somewhere outside of the AllStar Music (where we had reservations on property) would help us have a more restful time.

What I didn't expect is Travelocity didn't book our room correctly with the Best Western Lake Buena Vista and we only had one room showing when we got there around 10:30 at night.

There was much we could have found to complain about but the Lord was gracious to us and gave us clear and safe travels the whole way, though Orlando itself seems to bring out the worst drivers I've seen in a LONG time. He was also gracious in placing a woman with a "Jesus" pin on her Front Desk Manager uniform at the hotel who I think felt sorry for me and spent much effort trying to get us rooms for the night and get us on the same floor the next day. Out of 350 rooms in this place, they had about two or three left the night of our arrival and they ended up turning people away who were walking up. And this was in "value season" when the crowds were supposed to be low(??) Both our rooms (eventually) ended up having a fridge and a microwave (which I knew we would need) and were on one of the nicer floors that had just been remodeled. We crashed that night not knowing what else was in store for us this trip but glad the Lord was protecting and providing for us.
