DRAMA! With a captiol D!!!
Today I was thinking about our flight…well freaking out would be more like it. We “were” flying in the day of the Cruise, from DC…getting into LAX at 11am. I thought that this would be okay…until today that is. Today I started freaking out.
I went onto our DIS boards FB page and put my dilemma out there for all to see. I asked if anyone else was flying in the day of, two people are but they get in MUCH earlier. Then the awesome Travel Agents started piling on and others who have done flights like this before.
They were VERY adamant that we should change our flight for the before. I was beginning to agree and still freaking out. So I waited until my mom got home and plopped her down and told her whats what. She totally agreed with me! YAY!
So we are now arriving the day before. Which led to another dilemma. Hotels!? Where should we stay. Other people were staying at Double Tree and Crowne Plaza. At first I was SUPER excited about Double Tree. I LOVE their cookies. And I’m a Pastry Chef. They have some of the best chocolate chip cookies. But the price for one night was a bit steep and we would rather use that money for fun onboard things like drinks and Bingo!
So I found that there is a Vegabond Inn there, which apparently my mother has stayed at while she goes to conventions or whatnot. $80 and free shuttle to the Port! PERFECT! So perfect in fact we’re changing our hotel for the day the Cruise docks to the same hotel. And we’ll be Blue Shuttling it to and free the airport.
This will also be very good for my mom since she has leg issues and we can go to the hotel and she can stretch out and relax before we head to the ship the following day.
Mischief Managed if I do say so myself!!!
Thanks to all my Disers who weighed in! It means so much!
UPDATE!
We’re not staying at Vegabond. We are in fact going to stay at Hotel Maya *which is also a Double Tree* while I was waiting on the phone FOR AN HOUR to change out flight *which btw, the price had gone down! HAZAA!* I was looking at hotels and found this one. Its beautiful and amazing and a mile from The Queen Mary!

So we’ve decided to get to the hotel, check in and go grab some lunch on the Queen Mary! We may do a tour…they have a ghost tour! And a few others, and apparently they do fireworks which you can see from our hotel! Or, at least that’s what I’ve read.
