For my one fan (ETA: two more not-so-foolish mortals arrived as I typed this!) I will make one more post to complete the set up, then I really need to go do laundry and pack! (Shall we risk sneaking back the successfully snuck sip of Jack Daniels from the last trip?)
Probably not. I’m a dork.
Why did I list the same hotel twice? Well, my booking time was also too late to get a room. Kind of. When I first went online to check, I could easily get a room for Monday night, at a fairly average price, in the $90 range, which is only about $10 higher than typical with my AP discount. There was only one hotel in the entire system available for Sunday night, and it was way out of my price range. That made no sense, so I wasted some time with live chat, who told me what I already knew, and decided to book Monday at ASM and probably book Sunday Offsite but wait until tomorrow.
When I looked the next day, ASM was available, but only for a preferred room at more than $40 higher. Sports was about $15 less, but who wants to bother moving for $15?
Alas, I waited too long, and they were both gone again.
The next day, when I saw another Preferred room at All-Star music, I jumped on it. It will be our path of least resistance. I’m going to ask at check-in if they could possibly put us in the same room for two nights, even if it’s not a Preferred room, I’m sure someone else would love to get upgraded to Preferred in my place. If it works, great. If it doesn’t work, fine. We will make it work for us.
Where are we going?
Well, as I said, the Record Show on Sunday. Typically we can’t go to any parks on Sunday, but this is our first trip where we actually may take advantage of the free waterpark day! That is, if we get out of the show early enough before closing. Not sure that will happen, we’ll see!
Maybe Jiko for dinner that night? We’ve been skipping it the last few trips. Maybe someplace new? I haven’t even looked yet.
On our most recent visit, there was no festival at Epcot, so I suspect the priority Monday will be checking out the new one. Maybe we will stop at HS afterwards if Julie is at the Tune-In.
For my solo day Tuesday, I think I may bring a Dramamine and try to get on Tron, and try for that Tiana deal as well. If that goes well, who knows, maybe finally Guardians?
As the Pet Shop Boys said in the 80’s (not with so much grammatical correctness) “There’s a lot of opportunities…”
We’ll just have to surprise you!
That said, all those trips together are less than some folks’ one week visit.
