This was literally DH and me that early morning at 4am!
I think I am the only DISer who doesn't do that. I even wake up AT Disney going, "Well, I could get up and ride things or I could sleep some more..." and have to force myself up.
This was his first trip he's ever planned before so the anticipation was too much for him, which made me even more excited
Glad he was so excited and involved!
I highly recommend these bags if you’re shopping around for some.
Thanks for the recommendation - they look nice. We got our luggage at Kohl's on Black Friday too - we got some large rolling bags that roll while upright and in all directions, which is SOOO nice. I like all the pockets on the ones you have.
Twenty-five minutes later a shuttle FINALLY arrives.
DH forgot to lock it, but there was really nothing we could do at this point but pray that no one steals the car seat.
Well, at least you have the comfort of knowing that carseats are often a pain in the rear to remove, so they'd have to be pretty determined. Might be easier to just steal the whole car.
I’ve never, in all my years of flying, have never been in a line like this.
Let’s remember this, shall we.
no pre-boarding alcoholic drink for DM,
Whoa! And she survived the flight?!?
Turns out, one of the Flight Attendants asked DS if he wanted a picture in the cockpit!
Wow, that's awesome! Of course, if it were Izzy, knowing how much she loves buttons would probably terrify me that she'd messed up something and our flight would be in danger.
Now is the best time to mention it, this was definitely one of the best flight crews we’ve ever experienced!
Yay! Glad you had such a good experience! That little plane is really cool!
And about 45 minutes till landing, another FA came back over and said, “Excuse me Mom, but is he allowed to have these?” and had a fistful of good Godiva wrapped chocolates. I was thinking, “Uh, he’s not, but I’ll take them!”
and told him absolutely!
I'd do the same thing. I might have stealthily removed one from a snack box on our last flight, then ate it when Izzy wasn't looking.
I’m not sure what was up with all the ‘gifting’. Perhaps they were rewarding his good behavior (he was amazing on each flight we took this trip!) or we were just being sprinkled with pixie dust, either way, it was very thoughtful and much appreciated.
Maybe they knew where your bags were.
Our second flight from St Louis to Orlando was very uneventful and short and both DS and DH slept the entire time! Which gave me more time to read and watch some Top Chef on the free TV Southwest provides.
That sounds like a perfect flight!
Once in our room, DS told me, “Cheers!” with his glass and I wondered where in the heck he picked that up from!
Haha, Izzy's been "cheers"-ing since she could barely talk. My dad and step-mom had done it in front of her way back when and she picked up on it! So cute when they do that!
But there was a long line of people snaking out of the doors at the Lost and Found, including DM and DH at the counter
I wanted to cry.
I want to cry for you!
What a nightmare!
I've never gate checked it all the way through to our destination before, and now i'm scared to do it ever again!
I didn't even know you could do that, but I guess I'll avoid it.
Nothing. No luggage. No stroller. Next arriving flight was at 10:30am the next morning
That is really, truly awful. Ugh.
Well around 3am she got up to fiddle with the AC but instead, somehow, she managed to set the fire alarm off in the room! The siren was going, a light was flashing, DH jumped out of bed half naked, I jumped up yelling to get out but she managed to turn it off. What the DEVIL?!
Wow, could this evening get any worse? I guess at least it didn't set off the sprinklers or evacuate the hotel. But still...that's pretty bad.
I hope the next day is better! What a rough streak of luck!
