Mommy + Me Orlando Trip! Day 1

This past week Cameron and I went to Orlando for his long-awaited Birthday Trip. We flew out of BWI via Southwest Airlines. We had an early morning flight and spent the night at a sleep and fly the night before. We took the shuttle from the sleep and fly (Shout out to Steve the best driver) to the airport and weeded through the self-check-in kiosks, baggage drop and TSA lines. Thankfully we have TSA Pre-Check and that saved us time. We found a Starbucks and got our coffee and cake pops and then found our gate.

We had a great flight from BWI to MCO and made friends with the pilots (Hello to Pilot John) and the flight attendants. Thank you to Russ the flight attendant who gave Cam his light up necklace! We had no issues getting off the plane, getting our bags and then making our way to the taxi line. This was the only time we used a taxi (they are so expensive due to fees imposed) during our trip. We used Uber and Lyft if a shuttle was not available. It was a 20-minute ride from MCO to the hotel and cost about $60.

We arrived at the Hampton Inn & Suites Orlando at SeaWorld and were able to check into our room super early (11 am). Thank you Jessica! We had booked a King Standard Room and were pleasantly surprised we were upgraded to a King Suite Room. The room was large and spacious with a living area, table, small kitchenette, large bathroom with separate showering and sink area and large closet. We got our preferred guest lanyards that allow us extra benefits at the Sea World Parks from the front desk and decided to order delivery pizza for dinner and hung out in the room the rest of the evening.
