More Miscellaneous Updates:
Sorry - not a whole lot of photos in this post, just some quick updates!
May EPIC trip:
It truly was EPIC! So much fun! I will be working on a TR very soon, once I get a moment to decompress from the trip! But we will definitely have a repeat trip, just not sure if it will become annual or bi-annual! (Maybe WDW every other year and in the off-years something different, like a cruise, or DL, or something!) TBD!
May SWGE Trip:
We were able to get a couple of the free reservations as well as the hotel reservation. Of course, I was at WDW when they opened up, so I was literally on Flight of Passage while refreshing! Thankfully I gave Dina my login info and she was able to use those. So here are our reservations:
May 31, 8am-12pm via hotel reservation
May 31, 8pm-12am via free reservation
June 1, 11am-3pm via free reservation
We also have a 4th reservation the following weekend but that will be dependent on someone else coming into town, since they are the primary individual on the account!
Looking forward to it!
Asia Trip:
While in WDW I saw there was availability in business class for the remaining flight leg from Seoul-Shanghai. Definitely happy about that one, more because it will give me access to the business class lounge during my 5 hr layover.
I also booked hotels in Tokyo and Kyoto before leaving for WDW. For Tokyo, I booked at the Shibuya Tokyu REI Hotel. The reviews and rooms looked good and it was in a very convenient location in Shibuya (only a block or two from the train station). For Kyoto, I booked the Kyoto Tower Hotel Annex. I'm still unsure if I will stick with it; it's close to the train station, but I don't know if that will matter as much. I'm still trying to decide, but it is free cancellation, so I can change my mind if I need to!
SWDAS trip:
I made a stupid mistake that I discovered when I was checking into my flight home from Orlando. I accidentally booked my flight roundtrip from Orlando, instead of from Los Angeles! Ugh! Of course American Airlines has a $200 change fee per segment, so that would be more expensive than my original airfare! So annoying! I haven't rebooked because knowing my history, American may end up changing the flight times and (like this past trip) it would make me eligible to cancel for free. I think any change in fare would be much less than the actual change fee. So, fingers crossed!
I was able to go in an add another night in March (so it would be 2-nights AKV, 7-night cruise, 3-nights AKV). More so if the airfare works out better that way, I am covered.
