Mr Quicklabs and I are here at the BW. It's been more than wonderfull. We were supposed to leave tomorrow night. We were here for just five days, thinking that there was no way we would take more time off of work.
Well, I guess the good Lord decided that we'd been working too hard. So, She is sending a Blizzard to the Midwest. We briefly debated: should we keep our fingers crossed that our flights will be a go for tomorrow night or should we take this as a major Sign and do something totally out of character for us and say, "What the heck, let's let the weather clear out and stay for three more days." Air Tran is already allowing passengers to rebook without penalty, our dog nanny can stay for three more days without problem. DVC had a room available for us right here at the BW, and we are now able to use our rental car for the full week we had already paid for plus just a day more. My DH was going to run out of medication (don't even get me started on that. Let's just say he'll never pack "just enough" again). Already called one of our colleagues who refilled the meds, and he's over at the Walgreens on Apopka Vineland right now.
Anyway, usually we'd look at this as a major problem. We'd worry about the weather for the final day and night of our vacay. We'd be stressed by all the inconvenience, even with advance planning. We'd go back to work in worse shape than when we started out. But I guess now that we're nearing retirement, we've grown up, appreciated the Big Picture and are thankful that we have been given a reason to stay!
For anyone else here at WDW who has read this far, I'd recommend the same course of action! If an obsessive compulsive personality like myself can do this, you can too!

i usually bring about a half year's worth, 'just in case')
