Doing our fasspass+ reservations for our trip in November.
Best partwas being able to change them, even the day of, if needed.
Glad you made it safely back. Following along it looked like a great trip.
Thanks..wish I could have kept up the posting, but there were reasons it sort of tailed off like it did. One, the wifi was spotty at best, it was frustrating, to the point I left my phone in the room most the time. It made it really hard to meet up with Jim, Carl and Cliff, the only reason we found Jim was purely by chance.
Two, a comment by my SIL on FB soured me on posting. It was about how people post about the fun etc people have with their families while they are restricted by her daughter's non-verbal Autism. I know this is utter BS, others seem to deal with it, I know Dads here do, she is just whiny, "poor me". Talking with my parents tonight revealed that it wasn;t meant for us, but for my brother's friends who all backed out of a party they threw earlier in the summer all to have "excuses" at the last minute to back out, after she took months to prep it up. It hurt her a lot. But she needs to learn to deal with it. It upset me and I planned to post MORE out of spite, but with the issues with WiFi I sort of gave up and focused on my family and having fun.
Welcome home Brent, made real good time on that drive.
What happened in Fayetteville?
Okay, here is the gist of it. We left later then we wanted to Saturday so drove longer then we wanted. Jo was getting pretty wiped by then so we needed to stop for the night, and chose to stop when we hit NC. We looked at options and chose a place in Fayetteville NC and a place that looked good with reasonable rates, so drove there. DW got a room, no probs, it was fairly full, and lots of people milling about. Some seemed to hover near the car after we parked, made us a bit nervous. We had a lot of stuff in the car, but did not want to hike it up stairs for what was going to amount to an 8-9 hour stay so when it was clear, we covered all and took a bag with clean clothes and my electonics. Reckless? Yes but in the end a better choice...
We got in and after my quick bedbug check we settled. The tiolet made a whining sound when flused, and the door was hard to open/close, but big deal there. Just as we were about ready to sleep I went to the sink area and saw a bloody huge roach. DW and I chased it and killed it, I got dressed to go, but DW was exhausted, so I spent an hour inspecting the place and stayed but didn't sllep much keeping an eye and ear out for the car, and for anything scurrying about. We inspected our things closely before we left too, thank god we didn't bring much up. Never saw another bug. Car was fine, there were a lot of family/friends staying there partying it up, milling about.
We slept a bit and were up by 5, out by 5:30, on the road. I think we put 3 hours behind us before we stopped for breakfast. Hell, there were people still up drinking beer being loud (near the car) at 5am!
Consulting the GPSwe realized we could be home before midnight if we pushed, so we did the 16 hour drive home, stopping for gas, food and stretching our legs. Got to Canada/US border at 10pm, home by 12:15am. (Took 45 minutes to get through line up at border) We just wanted to be in our own beds where we felt secure.
I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the group and myself and I hope we've passed the audition.

, I know exactly the glasses you are talking about, we got a pair on our Honeymoon & a pair on our 5th Anniversary, I don't know if they still give them out & I've never seen them in any store at WDW, they are a Great spacial occasion glass and being from CRT it makes them that much better
