***January 2022 Thread*** - Kicking Off 2022 with WDW!

I have been checking every day on the United app to see if my flight for that day is cancelled. So far none of them have been. Looks like the flight always comes from Tampa to Newark and then to Orlando so hopefully no weather issues with that route. Fingers and toes crossed and knocking on wood. 18 more days!

wait how can you tell this?? i would love to find out these details so I can obsess some more!! at least I can see if my flight is cancelled there is a later flight connecting that will get me to orlando

Whatever your flight number is usually flies every day around the same time to the same destination.
I have the United App and plug in flight 1641 each day to see if any cancellations via the Flight Status tab. It also allows you to see where your flight originated.

you can also use the Flightaware app to track flight numbers from all different airlines

Wow, I'm the Disney freak but a few days ago my husband MADE me book a trip! Just a quick trip Jan 28-31 at ASMu. Folks I think I have him addicted to the Art Festival! Third year in a row for us!

Hi all, I fly down on Jan 19th and stay till Jan 29th. Doing a split stay at BLT and OKW. Never gone during the Art Festival. Very excited. Have they already announced food booths for the Art Festival?

 

[tinabina919]

The menus are supposedly being announced “early January”

I am hoping for news today.

 

[stfxkid]

We will be going Jan 21-24 (first time at Saratoga Springs) hopefully no flight Cancelations)

 

[DisneyBelle27]

The booth list is out, menus still pending

Not that it's a big deal, but la creperie de paris is fully booked the whole week I am there....
Good thing there's the quick service counter!

We ate there in Dec and it was terrrible! I was disappointed in the food and service. The savory crepe was ok, but the dessert ones were terrible. Service is extremely slow as well. It's not a place I will go to again sadly. I wanted to love it so much!

One week to go and I can’t wait! Things I worry that could derail us:

• Flight cancellations-have a dining reservation 4 hours after scheduled arrival
• Covid-husband’s family has 6 members sick. We were around them on Christmas-so far we are negative and showing no symptoms
• My mother who is elderly and looks like she is developing a foot ulcer. I am the one who helps her. Maybe her someone while we are gone
• Covid-concerned that Omicron may impact staffing everywhere

Trip is paid for, suitcase is ready to be packed. I just need to QUIT worrying!

Omg! I’m so glad I’m not the only one worrying! Everyone thinks I’m nuts! I worry someone is going to get sick before we go, I worry about the flight, I worry about someone getting sick while we are there, worry about getting home…. The list goes on and on…lol. I wish I could stop worrying. Im hoping once I get there it will all just go away!

I'm going to force myself to stop worrying once we get there! If we get sick after, I'm not too stressed about it - hopefully it would be mild since we're vaccinated and boosted. And if we get stuck getting home...well, worrying about it beforehand won't do anything! I'm actually mostly not worrying now, just trying to exercise extra safety and precaution to help make sure we don't get sick before we go.

I agree 100%! We leave on the 15th. I’m not going anywhere i don’t have to and today I started wearing double masks at work! I’m a Pre-K teacher! 10 days left to stay healthy!! It happens! I’m vaccinated and newly boosted so hopefully that helps!!

Neither of you is alone. Those same exact thoughts are what goes through my head all the time. I just have to stay home as much as I can, thankfully I work from home and my office shut down for January anyway. And I have to have faith that vaxxed and boosted will keep me healthy or things mild. I also talked to my doctor and she said Vitamins C, D, and Zinc can't hurt to boost immunity.

I am working at the hospital tomorrow but I am going to wear my N95 all day. I just want to stay healthy not only for our trip but for my elderly mother’s sake. Now worried about flights getting canceled because of staffing issues. So, if our flights get derailed and we miss our dining reservation, do you think we can plead our case?

We'll be there at the same time! We arrive the 11th, home on the 17th.

I'm a teacher too, and I started double masking this week too. Here's hoping

Sat down to start working out a plan for which park(s) to hop to each day. I haven't used park hopper tickets as an adult and I'm trying to be mindful of G+ stacking strategies. For Saturday Jan 22, Disney recently updated some park hours: Magic Kingdom closing moved from 8PM to 11PM. But Epcot is still listed as closing at 9PM, which seems odd for a Saturday. Is it possible Disney will update hours again for that date, for the other parks?

I think Epcot pretty much stays the same closing all the time.

My birthday was this week and it was our last planned meal in a restaurant until we get to Disney, since, like many others, we're doing everything we can to avoid getting sick before we go. But I wasn't feeling well (I'd had a minor medical procedure the day before - terrible timing, but it could make for a less painful trip!), so we ended up getting pizza delivery. Oh, well. We have a couple delicious reservations while we're at the parks, so it's not that big a deal!

Like everyone else, I'm worrying about all the things that are entirely out of my control. Two years ago, the weather on our departure day was scheduled to be terrible, but we were able to work with that by spending the night before our flight at an airport hotel. Those were the good ol' days!

Anyway, I was kind of embarrassed yesterday when I logged in to the DVC site and it reminded me I had 10 days until our trip - I hadn't realized it was that soon!
