Ugh, that is the worst feeling!I ended up sitting at MCO for 4 hours!!! We could have been at AK or cast connections all that time. There was a ground stop for the lightning b/c the ground crews could go out to do their work. Our plane diverted to TPA. Once the ground stop was lifted it flew to MCO. We left at 9:33 for a 7pm flight. DME picked me up at 4pm from the resort, and I got home at 12:15 eastern time. I told DH I could have almost driven home from WDW in that same amount of time. (it is about 9.5 hr drive). This trip was 2 of the worst plane travel days I've ever had.
When I was coming home in June I was delayed 50 minutes, then 120 minutes. I knew before boarding DME and almost considered staying and taking a Lyft to the airport. Good thing I didn't. I was taking my time and sitting in the MCO lounge and got a text from JetBlue that said "UNDELAY" and my flight was boarding in 20 minutes I finished up really fast, bought a Coke Zero, and was on my way! You just never know what is going to happen!
