Airline/Airfare roulette is not fun! And I have found flight times have been fluctuating as much as prices. Thank goodness you got your flights at times you can live with and with a price you can live with.
It is not fun, probably the most stressful part of any trip I think. The only time it isn't is if a screaming deal comes up and you jump on it and THEN book the rest of it. Living is relative but it is what it is at this point. They are really not budging, tracking for Oct as well and it's about the same as August. UGH!
Airline/Airfare roulette is not fun! And I We arrive on the 12th. We're booked at Kidani. While I LOVE the lobby and vibe at Jambo, an extra bathroom and more square footage won out.[/QUOTE]
You have a big group, I'd want that space too!
Wow, lots of updates! It looks like the boys had a great time at the airplane museum!
They really did, it was a very fun trip.
How exciting about booking AKL!! We stayed at Kidani in a 1BR last August and it was amazing, we loved it. You are going to have such a great trip
I am very excited! We would have been fine in the 1B but I'm glad we upgraded, it will be lovely after being in one stateroom for 4 nights!
Gotta love a 4 night cruise that turns into an 11 night trip
to get cheaper flights! Fuzzy Disney math at its BEST!
Not cheaper by much but every little bit helps!!!
I love it! DH loves AKL even though we've never stayed there. Kidani 2 bedroom savanna view is pretty much his dream resort stay. Hmmm, maybe leverage for talking him into a future DVC purchase!
Sounds like a good strategy to me! Jeff may be pushing for an add on there after the trip, we will see
I have no idea where you might be stopping for lunch, but I do have 2 recommendations for while you're in Vero: Mr. Manatee's in Vero Beach (conch chowder... yum!) and Captain Hiram's in Sebastian. My dad would at Sonny's Real Pit BBQ to that list, but it's questionable! Oh, and if you end up in the mall at Vero, Chick-fil-A, because, let's face it, who doesn't love Chick-fil-A?
Well....I don't. Love Chick-fil-A that is. I know they have a grilled sandwich but it's just not really my thing and definitely not Jeff's. I've had it a couple of times and just thought it was meh. I know I am in the minority on that for this board but....it is what it is! If' I'm going to do any kind of fried chicken it will be the real deal, on the bone at a KFC, Popeyes or preferably Ezells (which is a local chain). Jeff won't eat it but YUM!.
I've heard mixed things about Sonny's but good things about the other 2. right now we are thinking just one dinner out and probably at Squidlips and then the Sunday brunch at Sonya's. That could definitely change though!
Disney maths at its best. I once turned 5 nights at
Disneyland Paris into 14 nights at WDW.
Not only a longer trip but a farther "away" one for you! Well done!
We are really excited to stay there and explore it.
Wow, I love you Disney fuzzy math!
Love how 4 days turned into 11!!! There is nothing better.
There really isn't, is there!
So glad you get to visit Disney while you are there. We tend to short change AK when we go. We are going on April 13th this trip. They are having Earth Day activities that day and on the 20th so I thought Jeremy would enjoy it.
Yay for Kidani! I can hardly wait to stay there in 2 weeks and 1 day!!!!
I'm not sure why or how it gets shortchanged, we certainly never plan it that way. The last trip we were there at least 3 times but it was crazy short each time and hardly got anything done. On the girls trip, which was shorter, the Trek ate up most of my AK time. It was amazing but I still missed most of the park! I am really looking forward to dedicating a whole day there and not feeling stressed or rushed about it.
