I'm here!!!
Love your TR's by the way!!! I took a break from DIS for a year and went back and re-read your TR's... Didn't post, but I did read them! We will be down there when you are... Headed to
MNSSHP on the 1st... If I see ya, I'll say hi!!! I'll have my DH and DS with me so it may be a quick hi and bye!
Thank you so much!! Yes please say hi if you're going to be there! I'll be meeting other Disboarders as well during the party
Following! Love your trip reports!!
Thank you so much!!
Yay for new TR!! Sorry we didn't get a chance to meet up-that day in AK with the rain was a bit of a bummer, and we were tired. Still haven't seen RoL yet-but there is always next trip LOL!
Yes I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to meet! It was so crazy sometimes and especially in the rain and I'm trying to direct people in one direction while in a poncho (which was like wearing a steam room blech).
this made me
! Probably best this way if the people you are planning for aren't veterans. DH texted me a question from a friend of ours the other night on choice of restaurants: Hollywood and Vine or Chef Mickeys. I thought it was a planning question, but no, they were there right now!! and wanted to know which. UGH. Haven't heard how it went yet...although DH and son got a walkup at Via Napoli for for lunch so I guess stuff can happen!
Looking forward to how week went. GREAT family picture BTW!!
Wow a walk up for Chef Mickeys...hope they got to eat somewhere at least! I know, planning for the newbies is easier than planning for veterans who all have their own opinions.
Thank you for following along!
I am looking forward to reading how this trip went with coordinating so many people.
I need to go back and read the pretrip report too.
It was a challenge but it was good. It all came together in the end and even though it wasn't perfect, it was still a great trip!
I always wish we had later flights like that because I get out of work at 6pm, and we could go down the night before if they did. But here the last direct flight out is earlier than 6, and the latest flight that leaves ever is a United flight that leaves at 7:20 but has a layover.
Yeah it's tough when you can't find a direct flight...that's the only way I'd fly to orlando.
Ugh. I've heard JetBlue has delays often, not sure if that's true or not because we haven't flown with them though.
Usually they are ok. It was actually due to the weather from the plane's original location and all flights were delayed coming in so we didn't have a plane to get on to!
Flight delays are no fun. And really no fun when the airport is... not very interesting? I've had a few delays in teeny airports, one was so small they sent us out of the secured area because the secured area only had vending machines and no bathrooms. I didn't fly anywhere until I was 15, so I have no experience as a kid, but I imagine it's something you would hype up in your head and then when you get there it's like, oh... this is a lot like a car ride, except mom and dad are next to me
It seems weird to me that the faux-norail stops running at night
What time was that? We're getting in pretty late for our trip.
Yeah sucky airports are even worse when there is a delay.
I think it's because they are doing monorail construction so they shut it down at night. Never heard of this happening previously either since we've gotten in pretty late before too.
I'm glad the only opinion I've had to consider for our upcoming trip is Zack's
That was what made the DLR trip last summer so hard... Certain people didn't have opinions when I did the planning, but they had plenty of them during the trip!
Yeah it's hard to please everyone but at least during the planning process it wasn't too bad.
And hey, all people and all bags made it to the Poly that night, which is what's most important
Exactly!! Whew!
I'm excited to follow along on your adventure. I'm amazed that you were able to organize the trip for that many people! It looks like a lot of fun and the kids are adorable.
Thank you for following! It was definitely a fun and crazy trip! I'm glad I don't have to do it again anytime soon.
Okay! Unsubscribing now, since I know the whole story now...
Yeah just insert several thousand words in between each emoji. LOL
no dice??? What kind of games is he playing over there????
They have mental dice.
Thanks for the tip! Seriously!
It's what got us our FP so I guess it worked!
Ingrates.
I'm cutting them out of the will.....
Nah... On second thought, I'll keep them in the will but spend every single penny before I croak.
That'll show 'em!
Haha even better!!
I mean, get us to WDW already!!
This looks like so much fun! We just started planning a family reunion trip so I'm looking forward to seeing your plans and strategies.
Thank you for reading!!
Our Steve's are good men
They sure are!
I noticed all her outfits in your FB posts, love them! I also noticed her sweaters and I started sweating myself
lol
We all know she's just a slave to fashion and self conscious so she'll wear the sweater for a picture then take it off to walk around, LOL.
Funny! We never used rider swap when the boys were little so I wasn't very familiar with it either, until I had to start explaining it to clients.
We learned all about it on this trip! It was the best thing ever.
Yup, those texts suck. Our delay on the way down this month was only an hour but the way back started out being much worse. Thankfully it ended up not being that way but it's always a crap shoot!
It sucked but oh well.
Huh? I had no idea there WAS a last airport monorail to the main terminal??? Is this only for JetBlue now because of the work their doing? That makes no sense with flights arriving at all hours.
Sorry arrival night didn't go nearly as planned, I'm feeling you on that due to our arrival night. But thankfully it didn't seem to dampen anyone spirits, and you had a whole wonderful trip ahead of you
It's because of the monorail replacement at the airport. They are replacing all the old monorails with the new cars but I guess they haven't gotten around to doing it with jetblue yet. It was the mad dash at midnight!
