Getting There (And Back!): Our Journey

Travel was a little bit harder to coordinate, as we're coming in from three different locations, by two different means of transportation.

I will be flying Southwest on the morning of June 7th--direct from New Orleans to Orlando. My flight lands at about 1:30

Brandon will be flying American from St Thomas through Miami to Orlando that same morning, he arrives about 15 minutes before me and will shortly be getting his DME tag in the mail from me, with directions (and a map) instructing him to meet me at the DME counter line.
We will be vacationing for 6 nights 7 days.

The Fam is driving from South Carolina. They are leaving on the 7th, stopping in Jacksonville and then pressing on to WDW on the morning of the 8th. They will be vacationing for 3 nights and four days.


Now we have everyone in place, but there seem to be a few discrepancies in arrival and departure dates, which leads to my fun Room Rodeo.

Staying in Style: The Resorts/Hotels

Arrival night peeps: Heather and Brandon
Resort: Saratoga Springs
Room: Studio

8-11 peeps: The Whole Fam
Resort: Saratoga Springs
Room: 2 bedroom Lock-Off

I actually requested a lock-off room, why? Because it is noted on my two reservations that I'm moving from a studio to a 2 BR lock-off and wouldn't it be nice if the room assignment people just happen to be able to have the 1bedroom on the other side of the door be the other half of our 2 bedroom . . . a lot less luggage trouble in my humble opinion. Of course I will be moving from the studio into the Master Bedroom. (They are my points after all).

Then . . . I realized as we were well into the planning of this trip that some of my friends were going to be staying at the Wilderness Lodge for their annual June vacations. So instead of two more nights at SSR for Brandon and I, we're going to pack up and move clear across town

11-13 peeps: Heather and Brandon
Resort: Villas Wilderness Lodge
Room: Studio

And there you have it . . . the Who, How, and Where questions answered.

More coming in the very near future.
