After my Zone B area went into mandatory evacuation this morning I went in search of a place to evacuate. I spent probably 3 hours on the phone, internet to see if there were any places to stay in central-eastern FL or southern GA. Nothing. Not a thing. Except a Motel 6 in Gainesville that looked like one of Dante's 7 Circles of He-double-hockey-sticks.
We have 2 dogs that have to be accommodated so I didn't even bother with Disney. At some point I said, I'll take anything, anywhere and my dad said he would stay with the dogs in the car in a safe zone.
I got online with Disney and they had All Star Sports available for $75. This was literally the only place with hotel rooms in the state. I asked in a chat if they were relaxing their pet policy for the storm and they said YES!!!! 2 animals under 75 pounds. PERFECT. Booked it.
So my 80 year old father, myself, my brother, Callie the 13+ y/o Lab and Hobie the 18 month ball-of-fire Beagle Boxer mix have a safe place to stay Sunday and Monday night. Yeah, it's going to be tight.
I feel very, very lucky to have gotten this reservation; I just looked and everything is booked now.
Anyone else doing this or have done this?
