Woot!

I just finished grabbing a hotel for this weekend and i'm off to DL!

Flying from Tampa to San Diego, which is under 2 hours from DLR. Mileage is about the same as my commute to WDW from here in Tampa. Packing my own GPS so I wont get lost.

Good rental car rate, though it's off-site at the airport. I'll live. Enterprise roxors for not totally dinging me since my other-half is under 25 still.

Got a hotel by calling around since no one had rooms online. Got the Hojo across the street from the entrance and parking is free. The other option was the Hilton and it is $200 a night with parking fees and is under massive renovation AND it's not really walking distance to DL-proper.

Woot!

*throws things into carry-on* Flight is using my southwest rapid rewards. Fly out in 6 hours. My other half has to go back to Ohio (currently in Tampa with me), so sorta fudged the booking to have his "free" flights end in Nashville and then picked up a cheapo rate to Ohio. About $150 for two round trips, much better then the $500 per person that's coming up online.

I booked it tonight, and there was still several places i could have gone with my rewards - so southwest rewards are pretty easy to redeem! Also, his second leg is actually a rebooking of his old leg from here (Tampa) back to Ohio - without any fees. Take that big airlines and your nasty fees.

Don't forget your camera! :wave:

I've just got all checked in. I got the camera :)

The walk from the Hojo to the gate is only 7mins. I'm in the big tall building and on the top floor with one of those funky semi-circle cylindrical skylights.

I'll take lots of photos. It's 2:30 now, and DL is open until 11 and DCA until 8.
Yay! Btw, drive from San Diego took exactly an hour and a half.

Grey Goose is my favorite vodka! I just bought this new Orange Patron which was on sale for $19.99 for 750mL and it is really quite tasty. I'm already silly and it is only 7pm....:D

I'll just pretend I'm at PI. :lol:

Holy moly I missed this yesterday. So excited for the Merf and the last minute trip to DL. I love that kinda stuff.

I was just there in November and had an absolute blast.

Merf have you been there before?

Don't eat at Blue Bayou, I don't think you'll be happy with the food or the prices. Do eat at Carnation Cafe on Main Street for a nice surprise. Don't miss PoTC, it's fantastic out there. Don't miss the free tortillas and bread at DCA. Don't forget to look for kitty cats at Disneyland (MK)...

Geeze I'm probably way too late for this. Oh well :(

Hope yur havin fun :wave:

I'm almost positive Merf has been to the DLR before...

I'd say that's a pretty safe bet given his obvious Disney obsessiveness (which of course is a good thing).

Asking if Merf has ever been to DLR is like asking if Pacman Jones has ever been to a strip club. Forgive me for the sports reference but it seemed like the most obvious analogy.
