I swear this is Murphy's trip- everything keeps going WORNG! Even my typing!
From reading here on the DIS, I saw that some people are having trouble upgrading their DLR AP's + MYW tickets to the premier pass, even though the disney blog specifically says this is possible. So I just called in to the ticket center to find out...
...I ask the cast member, and she tells me no, you can't! I only bought 2 day PH's &WPaM, since we only needed $261 to upgrade. Oh carp! I asked her about the blog post, and she put me on hold for 20 minutes...and then came back to tell me that they don't actually sell the Premier passes, and to print out the blog posts and take it with me when I go. So that's still up in the air.
We were so freaked out about airline prices, and now Southwest drops their rates to $129 each way, 10 days before our trip. ***? That never happens!!! The reason we decided to go with priceline was that our SW codes were going to expire... and somehow those Visit Florida codes that were supposed to expire 8/1 mysteriously were extended...so now our supercheap awesome non refundable priceline tickets make me sad. We're being picked up at 3am by Magical Express on 8/28, and buying our tickets through SW would have allowed us to stay and be picked up at 4PM, and we would have paid the same and had two free bags.
We also decided to make this trip carry on only, since we managed last trip (16 days) with only 1 suitcase and 2 carry ons. We just hate to pay so much extra to take luggage, and this way we'll have less to pack as we move around from resort to resort. Since we have a rental car, we're going to make a target stop when we get there to cut down on what we have to pack.
So my rash is still spreading, but I've started to accept it. The itchiness is not as all consuming, and I'm developing a tolerance for the benadryl, so I don't think I'll pass out at the parks.
The weather here is cool, 72 as a high, which is very strange for us in August. I think Orlando is going to be a shock to us, so we're planning in taking it very easy while were there.
10 day til we leave!
Here's the link to my DINING PTR! Food, food, glorious food!
