It's been a couple of days since the final update. I wonder if Amy has made any unexpected changes??

Ummmm......

So I guess Final update isn't so final .... When your dealing with a Change o Holic!

Let me give those who missed out on refereshments lately some grub and we can move on!


I figured a nice Mai Tai would help hold everyone over a while!

So Why was the Final Update not so final you ask well see I hadn't quite finished packing my bags, nor had my mother, or my grandmother. What happens when 2 over packers add a 3rd over packer to the mix? Too Many Bags for the car that was reserved!!!

So right now this is what we will look like when we get to the airport with our bags


So what does that mean....Well the Midsize CAR (not SUV) will not hold all our bags, with at least 5 bags for the 3 of us plus the carry ons and our purses well we had to find an alternative.

So here is the plan Stan! We are going to be traveling to WDW from the Airport in 2 different modes of transportation. A upgrade to a large enough car for our bags and 3 adults (2 of which are pooh size) means about $200 more to the cost of the rental car so we are going to keep the Midsize Car and I will pick that up and drive our Carry on's and 1 large suitcase to AKL with a stop at DTD to buy my AP.

Grandma and My mother will get to enjoy a new exprience for our family. Magical Express! They will take the 4 big suitcases, as well as their purses and after Mom signs as the Additional Driver at Alamo go over and board a DME bus to AKL with our bags.

We will meet back up at AKL (by the time i get my AP, etc they should just be getting to the hotel or will have to wait on me for a little bit) Mom will have to get her AP at the first park we go to!

I could have fit all my things into 1 bag but I wouldn't be able to lift it and it would cost me a lot in overweight baggage fees!!!

So my Wonderful TA has made the DME reservation and we have the instructions on what to do since we won't have luggage tags. We will carry our own bags so that we won't risk them not finding them with just our information written down.

So
+


=
Change in plans and a somewhat final update (its early I won't say for sure yet learned my lesson!)
