Mike’s Mousefest 2008 Chronicles: Day 1

Well the day started real early…like 1:58 A.M.

The overnight attempt to get some sleep was eerily familiar to the difficulty one has trying to sleep before doing the Walt Disney World Half-Marathon.

At least today I didn’t have to run 13.1 miles.

I got to my airport around 4:30 and took off with fellow staffer Michelle Scribner-McClean at around 6:30.

The flight was smooth…landing about 9:45.

First task at hand was to hit Down Town Disney to do shome shopping, meet some friends, and try T-Rex.

From there we all checked into our respective resorts before heading off to Trail’s End for a nice pre-Mousefest meal with about 54 of our closest friends from Tagrel.

From there a few of us drove over to EPCOT to enjoy a little bit of Holidays Around the World and Holiday Illuminations of which I did not even have the energy to take out my camera.

Egad, it was closing in on 11 P.M. and I just realized I had been up for at least 20 straight hours.

i returned to my resort….fighting fatigue and thinking, “Hope I finish writing about Day 1 before I fall off to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…
