Order of events of how I snagged a 2017 October Disney trip.
Monday, August 23rd
7:45 pm receive an email from Disney.
9pm get ready for bed, check my emails one last time.
9:15pm excitingly tell my husband that I got a pin! Spent the next 5 minutes explaining to my husband how big of a deal this is.
9:20pm try to access my deal but the last name and zip code linked are wrong (maiden name and very old address)
9:30 score! Figured it out, grabbed the laptop to look at how good the deals are.
Husband: 'I want to be there on halloween day but I don't want to use all my vacation time'
Me: Checking out saturday to Wednesday availability....hmm, lots of decent places to stay.
Husband: 'I want to stay on the monorail loop'
Me:
10pm I call disney. I get a really fabulous phone CM. He books me for the Grand Flordian.
I couldn't sleep. I had to be up at 5am the next morning...but I just found out I'm going HOME!
I finally fall asleep around 1:30am.
Is this really happening? I wasn't expecting to go back to Disney until 2019!
Yesterday I booked airfare (husband's first time flying!) AND
MNSSHP tickets. No turning back now!
Only problem? I'm used to having a year to plan a trip and now I have 2 months. Luckily, I've been kept in the loop for what's been going on at Disney these past few months.
My dates are October 28 - November 1.
Staying at the Grand Floridian.
It still hasn't fully hit me yet.
