Oh Ick about the plane, I am glad they got it fixed up, but I am waiting Caitlyn on the panic attack I would have been with her on that.... I am anxiously awaiting kaitlyns update... I am hoping she already has it typed up and just has to hit post...

Ahhh so sorry to hear about your plane trouble. But YAY for an extra night in Disney!!!

Dinner and shopping at DTD sounds good to me right about now!

The last thing you want to hear while on a plane is that there's a problem so I totally understood her panic and tried to reassure her and not let her know how freaked out I was too

As for the next update.....I'm guessing she'll get to it in a couple days. We are going to try and keep a steady pace of updating every 2 or 3 days.

I must add that the pics in your signature are adorable! I especially like the one at the barbershop!

Getting an extra night pretty much made the trouble worth it

Sounds good to me too!

The first 3 stores he visited told him "it's against the law" to sell needles in an airport. At the 4th store he found a sewing kit and returned to fix Caitlin's dress.

Nice of that 4th store to break the law for you, isn't it?

Ten minutes later the pilot was back. This time he announced that the workers were still working on the plane trying to determine how much "cork" was needed to plug the hole and it could be another 20-30 minutes. CORK?!!
REALLY?!! At this point I was starting to panic.

I think the pilot was kidding about that.

When I asked the guys they were like "we're here, we're going today" UGH MEN!

Yeah, we're funny that way.

Well our gentlemen are very charming (when they choose to be )

Yeah, we're funny that... whoops! already said that. Move on.

and as soon as they began explaining how Josh is in the military the Air Tran Supervisor told his workers to "give them whatever they want". So we got our flight home changed from Friday to Saturday! We were getting another night in Disney World (adding an extra night wouldn't be hard, would it?)

Nice!

At 4:26 we parked the car and headed to our first meal of our fabulous vacation....but I'll save that for Caitlin to tell you about, next time

Cant' wait!

Great report so far. I'm sorry you had so much trouble getting there but I bet seeing that Disney sign for the first time made it all worth it!

We never did find out why some stores thought they couldn't sell a sewing kit while the last one could

I think the pilot was kidding about that.

I think he needs to get a better sense of humor!

Yeah, we're funny that way.

Nice!


Cant' wait!

Thanks!

Thank you and you're right! Once we were there everything we went through no longer mattered!

wow ,, what a way to start a trip!! Nothing like hearing that your plane has some technical problem before you leave the ground... that has actually happened to us 3 times...

3 times?! That would make me totally paranoid

We were very happy when we safely landed and could get the heck off that plane!

Wow - I forgot about the rough start to your departure. I didn't realize Caitlin ended up throwing her dress in the trash! Oh No! It looked so cute.

Woo hoo to the extra day! I agree that skipping the park that evening was a smart choice with the 4 day tic!

 

[TinksThree]

I remember the day didn't go as planned but I didn't realize just how unmagical was was! I would have been about the pilot's announcement too! I feel for Caitlin having a panic attack...been there, done that!!

 

[POLY1985]

Wow, I would have been terrified. I am glad they at least gave you an extra day.

 

[Aussiesalad]

You poor things! I can't believe they used the word cork! That would have made me panic too
Glad you got an extra day but ickkk, plane trouble is never a fun way to start a holiday!

It was a very cute dress and she felt silly after learning that it could have been fixed!

We were really impressed with the service we got from the Orlando Air Tran staff. Much better than in Detroit!

Yes our trip didn't start off as the most magical but once we landed in Orlando all that changed!

Thank you! We were too

Thank you. Caitlin and I are both really comfortable flying but that flight had us somewhat freaked out. The extra day made it all worth it though
