Plans have officially changed.

On that Monday, we will be meeting up with our friends. I decided to switch Prime Time to that day so we could talk. Unfortunately, we could only get a 5:30 ADR. I took it, but it means probably no Fantasmic. For that Thursday, I switched the plans as well. Since we had Prime Time (and we don't need to eat there twice) I switched it to Sci Fi for lunch and we'll have dinner at Downtown Disney. This means we should be able to see Fantasmic that night, barring any weather issues. If I look at the weather on Tuesday and it sounds bad for Fantasmic on Thursday, I'll switch reservations around.

Might have to leave a day early. There's good chance of a snow storm hitting here on Friday. If need be, Southwest will let us change without a penalty if the weather looks bad, there is availability at the moderates if needed. Now I just need to keep calm and not freak out about it.

Yup, I know. The only place where I won't be able to do that is Animal Kingdom as they've gone to 100% FP+. Non resort guests make reservations at a kiosk on the day they arrive.

Thanks. Actually, wouldn't be the first time I've gotten extra time in Disney because of the weather (stuck for two days because of Hurricane Irene...). All the news stations are saying something different. We'll see; I'll keep checking with the airline.

Our passes are separate from our resort reservation, so I'm planning on trying to take them to the kiosk and see what happens... angelwings

Update: Leaving on Friday. To leave earlier would be an additional $400 in airfare alone, and the snow is supposed to be out of here by 7 am on Friday. Our flight is at 9:15, and we're only getting 1-3 inches. Hoping it is more towards the 1 inch side. I'll get on here to let all of you know we made it safely. Smile

Two more days yay !!!
