Anyone remember WestJet screwing up our flights so we had to alter our plans by 2 days?? (@mort1331 you SHOULD!) yeah, well i neglected to update our travel insurance to reflect that change and now we had NOTHING to cover tomorrow's flight. Hubby's gonna be really happy we chose to spend some Airmiles to stay overnight at the Sheraton Gateway in Pearson --- perhaps he jinxed it by saying "i don't want to drive into the airport during rush hour in a winter storm"
I checked their flight schedule and there are no other direct flights, all of the others have lengthy layovers making the trip anywhere from 6 - 13 hours
Nooooooo!!!!I am crossing all my fingers and toes for you for safe and on time flights!

I would love to know a little more about this hotel. Do they have park and fly rates? Is this the hotel that has the walkway from it to the terminal? We are always looking for a handy park and fly when we go away.
This trip just keeps getting better and better! We've already been to Disney Springs and upgraded our tickets to a 7 day PH and an annual pass, at first the CM wanted to charge us more than i had expected but eventually we actually paid LESS than i thought we should. Decided to check into our resort so the hubby could ditch his work laptop and surprise it was READY!!! Only 11:30- that really shocked me. more details to follow
@mort1331 the room is beyond perfect, quiet, on the canal, 2nd floor and we don't need to move for the entire stay!
I am so glad its going great for you, enjoy. Don't forget Dlux burgers in the Springs. Must hear all about the resort when you get back, we still have not stayed there but want to.This trip just keeps getting better and better!

Yeah!!!! so happy you were able to get to WDW...a day early!!!! Sad to hear about your musty room at ASMu....we are staying at ASMu in March...hope you have a fun time....say hi to Mickey from all of us!!!!
woo hoo!!!! I love it when rooms are ready early...it's nice to be able to get settled so you can start to enjoy the parks!!!! I am also hoping to upgrade our 7 day tickets to one PH and one AP....for the upgrade did WDW use the current gate price or the Canadian price? I'm trying to make sure I have everything worked out before our trip in March.This trip just keeps getting better and better!

I wish! Ours is never ready! I take that back....once about 10 years ago, my room was ready. Sigh.
Same with us. Last November they told us they would text when ready so we went off to Disney Springs. At 7 p.m. we had had dinner and were very tired so I said to DH, lets just head back and see what is happening with this. When we got to the resort the front desk said 'opps, your rooms been ready for a while but our system isn't working'. I really didn't believe her however she gave us two fastpasses for anything so it took some of the pain away.
OMG!!! Those have to be THE. BEST. BURGERS. EVER!!! and the fries??? perfection (they even found me some malt vinegar when i asked because she noticed my CDN flag on my bag "you seem to like the brown kind, right?") The seasonal milkshake was orange creamsicle .. like seriously, my favourite flavour of anything! We will be going back for the many many MANY times, we split a burger and small fries and it was more than enough food. Bonus feature of this meal? They're one of the special 45th anniversary AP discount --- 20% off
But the whole process took maybe 10 minutes and that's cause i dumped my credit card & ID and other various & sundry crap all over the floor 
When she first gave me a lower value for the ticket we were upgrading i asked if she was seeing them as CDN prices and the response was, "no ma'am, the system sees you as CDN but the tickets are at full value" I would just suggest you take your time before you leave home and have a firm dollar figure of what you expect to pay. If you are quoted a dollar figure that is larger than you expect simply ask for the CM to re-price for you, or to explain how they got to their figure. If you're still not happy simply walk away and try somewhere else.
