Hi, me again. One of those west-coasters who have been locked out of "our" park for way too long. I thought my last Walt Disney World trip (October 2020) was a mostly-one-time thing, but apparently not. DH and I qualified for a Southwest companion ticket in 2021, and we were going to go to Hawaii (had everything booked), but the extra expense and unknowns of having that negative covid test at just the right time scared us off. So when we were on another little getaway to Utah (we're from AZ) so we could see how DH did on a plane with a mask (he has somewhat overcome a lot of physically apparent anxiety while wearing on over the last year) we started talking about it, and he mentioned Florida. We have always talked about taking a trip together where we were gone for like a week, and did both the Disney Parks and Universal Studios (our whole family is full of HP fans) but we thought it would be several years in the future, since we still have 5 young kids (age 4 to 14) and it's hard to leave them for that long. (And hard to PAY to take them anywhere so many expensive tickets are involved) But he said he saw my eyes light up, and he lost me, because I immediately began trying to figure out our trip. This was late January, and our trip window (where we had childcare set up - yay Grandma!!) was in the second week of March, during spring break. 6 weeks from then. This would NOT have been very doable before Covid, but there were plenty of good hotel deals, park reservations available, and even some dining reservations to be had. So I started planning....
