I'm so far behind in updating this TR as promised. Now all I can focus on is the NEXT vacation...or two...coming up. Though I have to admit I'm a bit soured by some of the recent Disney trips, we will still do at least one graduation trip as promised for kid 3 and perhaps a short trip in July as well, where we MIGHT MIGHT do one park day...or two if we are lucky enough to get tickets to Moonlight Magic.
My son's trip is pretty set right now for early June. I finally bought our park passes last week and not a minute too soon. I had seen one of our 6 days had not all parks available for reservations...and thankfully that wasn't a park we had planned for that day. Over the weekend I booked all the remaining park passes...and now I see several days have at least one park if not two that aren't available. So glad we got that resolved.
I've cancelled a few ADRs that were duplicates or that we weren't interested in doing, but I have the rest. We will be having meals at Toledo, Chef Mickey, Tutto Italia, Sci-Fi Dine In, Yak n Yeti and Space 220. We also have ADRs for The Plaza, Oga's, and Trails End but I'm not 100% on those.
I can't believe rental car prices so glad I booked through
UT and did their ticket purchase that gave me a reduced rental car rate. While ~$200 for the week isn't the best, it's better than anything I've been able to book so far. It's prepaid and I'm not looking forward to having to stand in the counter line instead of just hitting the parking garage booths and going, but for the savings I'll deal with it I guess. We have nothing pressing to get to that first day.
Now we have to decide how to handle the July trip with some recent low flight prices. It might be worth it for us to just fly instead of driving as we had planned. Not sure though. There are other factors to consider when driving.
I'm looking forward to this next trip and as much as I hate Genie and LL, now that the rumor is that GotG ride will be virtual queue or paid LL, we may just have to splurge for the LL access so we can try it.
