Arrived!

Ok so arrive at heathrow to face ques ques ques!!!! When travelling on a visa you can't do online checkin so it took ages! You get interrogated on the line with security questions and more once you finally get to a desk, where my baggage was 'oversized' I measured it and it seemed fine, but I then had to take it to another area to get it thru! Made it past security and met up with a couple of other Disney gooers on my flight! Then came a delay! Luckily it didn't last long and we could board the flight. We weren't sitting together but as it was early I think we all wanted to sleep anyways. So the. Comes the 8 hour flight to Atlanta, I have done much longer flights before but they felt twice as quick as this one! It seemed to go on 4eva!!!! I never thought we would land! So my first time flying with delta, so I wasn't sure what to expect, for other international flights I have flown virgin, emeritus and BA. So this one, the seats were uncomfortable and the tv system was tiny, and not all that good! Every time there was an annocement it would like take literally 15 mins for my screen to. One back on, at one point it stop working altoghrther ,so I turned on the assistance button which subsequently was on for 3 hours before a steward noticed! By that point I had found someone to reboot it for me. I was woken up but a stewardess ramming a cart into my knee as they brought round the beverages and food! A first we were offered nuts or pretzels and a drink, no issues there, then your main 'lunch' where there was a choice of chicken or pasta, I choose chicken, which consisted of a salad that was the most vile things I have ever tasted! Bread roll with butter, which was unspreadbale due to its near frozen state, crackers and cheese of which I thoroughly enjoyed! Then the main dish, which apparently is where you play a game of 'guess the food' as what I was given was unreqnisable to anything I have eaten before, even once eating I couldn't tell you what it was! The green stuff was hideous! The yellow was ok in small bits and the chicken itself was cooked nicely but unfortunately soaking in a less than appetising sauce! Tea and further snacks were served still nuts or pretzels. Then later we had pizza, which was lovely and ice cream to die for! Those were the best parts of the food! The bathrooms made you feel dirty it was terrible! But unfortunately to need to use them was there! At around two hours until landing I decided to freshen up! Due to the lack of space in them I ended up dropping all th contents of my bag and my hairbrush fell down the loo! Yes I will be Visiting mart on arrive to replace this! As for the seatbelt sign it went on/off more times than I could bare to. Count! As for the headphones, apart from having to niggle them constantly to get a good ish sound after a while one side just decided not to work at all! Eventually followed by the other at which point i gave up we had only 45mins left at that point But the fact is this flight managed to safely get me from England to America and so complaining is not worth it.  The goodbyes in London were very hard, so hopefully they will all be worth it! Can't believe how quickly this has all come along! So arrive I. Atlanta! Which means one thing immigration! Why do you always feel interrogated? The guy was not overly friendly but luckily it didn't last too long, picture, prints x# of questions and we were round to baggage claim. Only to drop the bags straight back off again, then security again! The bloke was very nice, talking abut the weather in England, then had to go through a body scanner, which is odd, but again nice staff having a laugh talking about my tattoo and how cold the floors were!! Then we all headed to dunkin donuts to start the American experience properly! Was beaut! Little look around shops etc and before you know it your waiting at the gate for another plane! Been up so far for 17 hours and still going! (10:30 gmt). Take off and the initial begginging of the internal flight did not make me feel well!!! I'm writing this as I go to post later so right now we've juts been told there is huge storms and so the flight will be longer for safety! Sick of planes right now..... Ok it's now 10:43 am on 06/06/12. So luckily for the rest of the plane I slept and slept and slept :) then finally we had landed in Orlando!!!!! Bcoz we did customs in Atlanta we got straight thru to baggage claim :) then off to the mears shuttle bus was lucky for us was just arriving! Some people had been waiting for over an hour :/ it was a Disney cruise ship coach which got us all in the mood!! We arrived at vista way, for the check in process. So first you have to line up in the line that matches e letter of your first name, they give you a number and a tag, you tag your bag then take your number to a different desk, where you get a program guide, some washing powder and you apartment key! I'm at Patterson court!!! Then though to another holding room where they provide snacks :) and you get a chance to meet others talk about where you'll be living etc before watching a short video about the first few days. We were given a temporary housing entice thingy and an iteniary. I was lucky that I didn't need to be anywhere until 2pm! On the 6th so plenty of time to settle in. Your driven to yr housing complex, by this pint your knackerd' it was like 9isj (lt) so 2am (gmt) so I get there and nobody's home....but there is stuff in all the rooms, so I waiting and then Kamy from hong kong came in, so we decided to share a room, in my flat there are three girls from hong kong and other two from the UK.
