The Silly and Mischievous Adventures of Four Crazy Canucks - FINAL THOUGHTS 2/1

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

SOOOOOOOOO close now Lessa!!! Can't believe it's really right around the corner. I have pre-vacaction jitters for you. I really hope Fay dies down before you get there and doesn't cause any trouble. Love the planning binder by the way! If I don't get a chance to talk to you before you go have a great time! Take tons of pictures and make sure to get some good Disney food! Can't wait to hear all about your trip and most of all have fun with the focker group!

Thanks Cheryl! We are going to have a great time despite this tropical storm threat.

Faye is going to turn left ( If I keep saying it it will happen)

I will keep saying it with you Janet.

that is true. I forgot. I thought you were leaving tomorrow.

I wish we were leaving tomorrow!

ROAD TRIP!!!

Let's hope we can all get there!

Mom did mention today trying to switch our flight to Atlanta and then renting a car to drive the rest of the way should we need to.

That's what I'm thinking, Lessa. Just get me to Atlanta and I'll drive the rest of the way if I have to.

Just booked a rental car for the Jacksonville, Fl airport. JetBlue doesn't fly to Atlanta but they do fly to Jacksonville which is not due to get hit until Wednesday. So the plan right now is if our flight to Orlando gets canceled we will attempt to get on the flight to Jacksonville and then drive from there to Orlando.

Hey Lessa, I think airlines let you make changes within 24 hours of an event, but not sure, have you called JB yet?

Yep we called them today just to find out our options

1) We could change them now and pay a $100 fee per person
2) We can change the flights day of and pay $40 per person
3) We can wait it out and if our flight gets canceled they fly us out on the next available flight (probably next day) or refund our money.

We are leaning towards option number 2 and trying to get on the early morning flight to Jacksonville which would put us in Florida around 11am on Tuesday and have us in WDW by hopefully 2pm. We are going to wait and see, nothing can really be done until late Monday early Tuesday anyways.

Okay, getting off the hurricane talk for a bit I thought I would give you guys another update.

Finding the perfect park bag is an experience that all of you have gone through I am sure. You probably have done extensive research into the matter and mulled over all your choices for hours on end. I went through the same thing before my trip last year and ended up taking the advise of so many disers and buying myself a messenger style baggalini.

This bag worked great for us. It held everything we needed to take into the parks with room for us to add stuff throughout the day should we make some small purchases. It has a handy water bottle holder on the side for easy access and the front strap has a pocket which is perfect for holding a cell phone, park tickets or credit cards. It was easy to take on the rides with us as we just slid it around to the front, didn't even have to take it off. Since this bag was such a success last year we are taking it with us again this year.

We are also bringing our soft-sided collapsible cooler to keep in the room since POP rooms do not come with a mini-fridge. We will also be taking it with is to the water park.

The bags look great! We just use a back pack or MY purse when we are in the parks. We are lucky that we often travel with a stroller to stash all of the MUST haves into.

We used to use a backpack but I find the messenger bag much easier to get in and out of as I don't have to take it off to get something out of it.

Lessa, I think i picked up the same bag for our trip this year. I'm glad to hear it worked so well for you. I havent tried mine out yet. I have used on other trips a Travelon version like it but these seemed roomier.

Still keeping my fingers crossed for the weather to come through for you.

Thanks, mom and I have been obsessively monitoring this storm. I'm sure everything will work out in the end. Even if we end up getting delayed we are still going to Disney World!

So I am almost all done packing! I've packed all the clothes I plan on wearing so the only thing left to pack will be last minute items. It is a good thing that I am working split shifts tomorrow, it forced me to get my packing done early. I have been such a slacker when it comes to packing on my other trips this summer.
