Well, found a great deal on a car rental so I hopped on that deal right away.
Now I can actually do everything I want to. The bus schedules had some conflicting times with things I wanted to do.

Okay updated plans with order in which to do them.
Unfortunately I cannot reserve anything yet but once I do I'm booking that Hobbiton tour and Te Po Dinner first thing.
So everything above is a hopeful list

Well, I emailed the Hobbiton tours because booking directly through them would be impossible as the tours for my dates are full. They were kind enough to put me on the waitlist for the second breakfast tours, which means i would need to switch around my plans. I think i still will book a third party tour though just in case i don't get off the waitlist.

Gah and I just found out about ACMI!! Im going to replace the history tour with that instead.
