The original long ago plan was for us to fly to FL, spend some time with the inlaws (they live 1.5 hours from DW), do some DW, spend some more time with the inlaws and fly home. I booked our room back in June. I didn't book airfare right when it was released and by the time I finally decided to get serious about booking it, there was nothing good for the points we had (got the Chase SW card specifically for points to fly to FL). I accepted the fact that we were going to be driving. We do it twice a year, not really a huge deal for any of us at this point. But then DH said "If we are going big, let's just do it" so I booked airfare yesterday and didn't get great times. Instead of arriving Saturday morning at the inlaws house, we are arriving Saturday evening at MCO. The plan was to go grocery shopping on Saturday, spend the night at the inlaws and then head to DW early Sunday morning. I thought DH was going to just get a rental car and hang out with his parents for most of the week. Now he thinks he will just hit parks with us.
Cheapest I am finding a car from Saturday evening to Sunday morning is about $100. It will enable us to go grocery shopping but then have to deal with returning a car in the morning. Plus add on the fact that we will have to rent a car at the end of the trip and a car is going to get expensive. Cheapest I am finding a Disney resort for that 1 night is a little over $200. Inlaws can't come pick us up as there are 5 of us and they only have a car. I am stalking SW obsessively hoping for a better flight to come along. Is there an option I am missing out on? I figure that if we get a hotel room somewhere else for that 1 night, pay for uber or something from the airport to the hotel, pay for uber to the grocery store, pay for uber to the parks the next morning, we may as well rent the car and head to the inlaws. I am going to blame this all on DH and his constantly changing what I have to work with but in the end, I think I may regret flying...
