You know that part of your Disney vacation countdown when
you can start to check the long term weather forecast for Orlando as it now contains the days that you
will be there? Well, we are now at that
point for our next magical Walt Disney World vacation!
Come on—you know you’ve done it—checked the long term
weather that is. Maybe for packing
reasons, especially during those “iffy” seasons when it can be chilly at night
and warm during the day or to see if umbrellas and ponchos will be needed. Go head, admit it! We will definitely need the umbrellas and
ponchos for the afternoon showers and they are already packed in a carry-on
bag.
Speaking of packing, we are well underway. The boy is the easiest one to pack for and he
is mostly done. As for the husband and
me, the shirts are packed, just need bottoms and all the rest. Since we have an overnight stay prior to
flying, our clothes for the next day and items needed for that night are in a
separate suitcase. Once that suitcase is
empty, our dirty clothes will go in it and the suitcase will stay in our car
while we are away. That way, we don’t
have to open all of our other bags during our overnight prior to flying.
The flights seem to be in good order. I still need to call 24 hours prior to our
flight to inquire about the upgrade that we have based on our frequent flier
points. After hearing about some flight
delays and unplanned overnight stays that our friends just experienced, I am
even more grateful for our direct flights.
A tip that we use is to have all of the important numbers
such as hotels, airlines, travel agents, etc. programmed into our phone. I even have Walt Disney World’s switchboard
number programmed which came in handy the day the boy left his DS at Cape May Café
at the Beach Club and we discovered it while on the bus to Magic Kingdom. I called the switchboard and was patched
through to the podium at Cape May Café.
After a bus ride back to the Beach Club, we recovered the DS and all was
well. I have our Disney resort number
programmed, our airline, and the number for our hotel that we are staying at
prior to flying. Since we will be
leaving our car at the hotel and relying on the airport shuttle, having the number
handy helps when we call for the hotel shuttle when returning from our trip.
The last needed items on our shopping list have been
purchased. Tide sticks was the last item
and they were acquired yesterday—with coupons!
These will get packed in our Quart size bag for liquids.
Each morning the number of days left before our trip is
announced in the house. Sometimes the
boy will ask or double check. All of us
seem to be Disney dreaming!
