I almost whispered the words over the phone to our travel
agent as they were difficult to say, “Cancel our Walt Disney World trip.” The response was one of surprise followed by
curiosity.
Our December 2015 plans had originally included a 7-night
sailing on the Disney Fantasy over New Year’s and a few days at the Walt Disney
World Resort prior to sailing. Then, the
school calendar was released. The
calendar has students at school and staff at work on Wednesday, December 23. Even with an early dismissal time that day
there were no flights until the next morning.
We had to make a decision.
I called our travel agent on Tuesday.
Even then we knew our park time would be limited leaving on December
24. I still wasn’t feeling comfortable
with the plans.
Then, Wednesday night, after watching Survivor, I posed the
question to the husband. “What if we
flew on December 25, spent the night in the Hyatt, and got on an early bus to
the port the next day?” He pondered a
bit, looked at me for any signs of disappointment, and then whole-heartily
agreed.
I called our travel agent yesterday and whispered the
fateful words—to cancel our Walt Disney World trip. While all of us are disappointed, I explained
that it wasn’t like we weren’t ever going to go there again. That brought a chuckle. And, we decided to not actually cancel the
reservation. . . yet. There are plans in
the works for a visit later in 2016. So,
when reservations become available, we’re going to move the reservation and the
deposit.
Another good thing that came out of the phone call was that
we now have airfare for December 25! We
got flights at a great time and somewhat of a great rate. Our travel agent wondered out-loud about why
Christmas this year wasn’t the best day to travel in terms of flight prices as
usually flying that day gets one a lower fare.
I explained that it was because it was a Friday. That explained it!
So now, we have airfare for two vacations and a reason to
plan another trip to Walt Disney World in 2016!
