Chapter 2. Vague Trip Details
Can the words vague and details be in the same sentence?
Seriously, this is a picture 2 days after I had an emergency appendectomy. It was gangrene.....
I was in the hospital for 5 days and home for 2 weeks after that. I'm still recovering....Anyway..on with the show.
Accommodations
So my cousin (WendyO on the DIS) and I had our first real conversation trying to figure out dates and such. She currently has a 2 bedroom villa at VWL booked which is their DVC home resort. She and Derek would really like to stay at BLT, but know that it may be near impossible to get. They would be happy with BCV or BWV, but can't move resorts until July 13--the 7 month window. It's a DVC rule...I kinda get it, but not really....
I may stay with them, but it's dependent on who else ends up coming. So as a back up, I am planning to reserve a room somewhere else on property probably a value and probably Pop. I might move up to a moderate if....
Traveling companions
I'd move to a moderate if I had someone to split the cost with. I've stayed at CBR and have been wanting to stay at POR. Here are a few people who I have in mind:
My roommates who I already asked once:
My friend Donna:
or perhaps Kim who went with us last year. Although she has a boyfriend now:
or maybe Wendy's other friend Kim who traveled with us in 1999:
or maybe one or more of the guys in my small group at church:
Dates of travel
Again, I am not exactly sure when I'll be going. Wendy knows at least for them it'll be somewhere starting the 5th, 6th or 7th of February. They will for sure (?) head home on Sunday, February 14th so that they have one day, President's Day, for the kids to rest before going back to school.
I will stay 3-4 full days after they leave. I like being solo at WDW for part of the trip mostly because I can sleep in and have no where that I have to be. So I will leave WDW probably on Thursday, Feb 18th. Don't know when I'll fly out to Orlando.
Bottom line
I don't know where I'm staying so I can't book yet.
I don't know who's going other than my cousin's family
I don't know when I'm going.
Can you think of anything more frustrating for an OTP (obsessive trip planner) than uncertainty, especially when you're ONLY 8 months out from your trip!
