Pre-Disney Trip Report

Ok, so it is the "eve" before my trip to Disney (YEA!!). And this one is long overdue by now. Frankly, work has been crazy this past week and a vacation is coming at the perfect time!!

T-24 hours before my first flight leaves. And let's just say, the plane is FULL - I mean FULL. Since I am traveling by myself, I don't really like to sit in a row with strangers, cause you never know who that stranger is or how much room they actually need!! Yuck. So far, I am in an aisle seat on my first leg, with a seat in between me and the window passenger. Not bad. Then the second leg, I am again by myself (so far) - but way the heck in the back of the plane!! Yucko there. Oh well I guess. Faster to be served maybe? But good thing, drinks aren't that outragous and they have Directv.

Then I get to sit at the Jacksonville Airport for about 1 1/2 hours waiting for Ryan to come get me. Well at least I will have to find my luggage at that point (I'm nervous they are going to lose it!!) or I won't be able to tell which bag is mine (haha!!). And frankly, I'm gonna look lost coming off that plane, so I will follow the hurd of passengers to the luggage round about.

Then it will be the drive to DISNEY! Yea!! But I have to call Disney today to make sure everything is set, and to ask if I am really staying at Coronado Springs. The package says "Pirate" and frankly, there is no "Pirate" rooms at CSR. Um.... could be staying at Caribbean Beach Resort. I dunno, I booked CSR, well have to call to find out.

Another perk - I switched my Chase Freedom to a Chase Disney Rewards card and today they announced FREE DISNEY DINING in the fall (savings of $400). Just around the time we would have a week off. And probably due for another vacation!! We would still have 3 days left on our disney cards, plus the water parks and more. Then, Ryan wants to go to SeaWorld - and what did I find today? FREE TICKETS TO MILITARY AND THEIR SPOUSES to SeaWorld, are you kidding me?? That right there would save us $200!! Wow! So what would a 5 night/6 day trip to Disney and a stop at the NASCAR race in Dover cost us? How about less than $1400!! Of course, that is with driving, since there are NO AIRPORTS in DOVER DELAWARE! Hello, even Plattsburgh has an airport! If we don't do the race, it would be only $900 to drive down and about $1300 to fly (need to rent a darn car). So we will see if I can talk Ryan into it!! Hopefully... another vacation will be needed!!

Bad part, it's suppose to be 91 degrees on SATURDAY in FLORIDA! Yuck! I don't like that heat - especially when you are trying to walk around the parks and your stuck in the sun, eww. No fun. But I guess I will make it as fun as I can!!
