I'm all about the crossbody bag for comfort but I guess it's individual. We carry a park bag on quiet days. If we want to get into the park quickly on a crowded day we skip it. Camera and KTTW cards go in cargo pockets and off we go.
LOL. DH is adamant about staying in the same place...we may actually be back at the CR by the time all is said and done...
what are the odds that I'll run into you and your family at CR?? LOL. Should we start taking bets?
Quick advice needed if anyone is around.
Here's the lowdown. We check out of CBR on Sunday Sept 1st. We don't really have plans that day, but we're going to go to a park of some sort. Crowd levels are predicted to be very high that day though.
That night we are staying at the Airport Marriott that I won on Priceline for $60.
Then Monday morning we fly home at 11 a.m.
By the time all is said and done, we'll be in our home around 4pm. School starts the next morning.
I just checked and Southwest has dropped their flight prices for the day before. So we could check out of CBR, hang around a bit, and take the 3pm flight. I would lose the Priceline reservation and the $60 but that's it.
I really think it would be better to get the kids home and settled in with an extra day before school, but it feels weird to shave a day off the vacation. I wouldn't be missing much because like I said it's supposed to be very busy, and we're staying at the airport that night.
I am leaning towards switching it but wanted some advice first and my husband doesn't care
Thanks if you read all that.
ETA ) And I should add we'll be going back in December so it's not like I am taking a day off our only trip for the year.

Thank you. That's what I decided. But when I went to book there weren't enough seats at that price (I had originally just done a search for one). I don't really want to pay more and lose the hotel as now it will cost me $150 or more. I think I'll leave it alone and remember next time that I prefer a day to settle in.

I do think it's hard going right back into school after you get back. An extra day of recoup time might be good...
of course now I'm kinda wishing I hadn't given up the deluxe room there!!
Sometimes the system decides for you, and that's OK, too.
My husband just said "Whatever you want" which is nice and all but doesn't help me make any decisions

And strangely enough, I, the Canadian that shouldn't even have access to the MDE site, am no longer having any problems and everything is correct.
Not just you, I'm in NY and have had zero issues... I just realized I probably shouldn't have said that, now I may have jinxed myself!
Have to share a fun story. Now, I only have a son, so on our trips we've never done the princess meals or meet & greets. My sister is taking a trip with her 3 kids, leaving tomorrow and will be there for my nieces 5th birthday which is Tuesday. My sister has NO idea or desire to plan a trip, and I believe is only going to DW for 2 days, hanging at her resort for the rest of the week. I know my niece loves the princesses, particularly Ariel, so I recommended she have her babysitter take the boys on some rides while she gets in line to meet Ariel. I looked up where Ariel is and told her to do it early otherwise she'll be in a long line, etc, etc.
Then I asked her if she wanted to eat anywhere and should I make a reservation for her. She wasn't too concerned, but when I mentioned the character dining she said it would be great to get a breakfast reservation for Tuesday morning. I was skeptical that I would find anything, especially for 5, but I searched. Of course there was nothing for the restaurant in the castle, but there was 1900 PF, and Akershus. My niece is very scared of villains so I tried for Akershus, and must have been too late for the spot I chose because it didn't go through. Another time was available when I went back, so I picked that and the same thing -- didn't go through. I figured we were out of luck, so I went back again, and a new time was available. I chose it, yelled at my sister to bring her CC, typed things wrong TWICE, there should have been suspenseful danger movie music playing, I was in such a scramble! And finally it went through! My sister and I cheered and hugged, and I am so thrilled my adorable little niece will get to meet her princesses and even her favorite Ariel.
I don't know how easy it is to get a princess meal reservation for 5 three days before you want it, but that seemed like an incredible bit of luck to me! Just wanted to share.
