TLDL: Flight changed from Wed pm til Sunday am; no rooms at Disney so I have 3 different hotels for 4 nights, and an extended rental car; I just wanna go home!
I'm still in Orlando. My flight for tonight (Wednesday at 6pm) was canceled on Tuesday; American rebooked me to Thursday (DUH... do they not have some kind of weather app, they are an airline after all). Anyhow... First thing this morning they canceled the Thursday flight and said I could rebook on my own, gave me options but said they weren't rescheduling anyone. Logged into my AA account and looked at the options they gave me, but every time I chose one it was gone. Finally called and they booked me in the last available seat that would get me home to Bangor, ME... but it's on Sunday!
Somewhere in all this I called Disney about extending my reservation for a couple of nights and they said they couldn't. CM explained that they were closing Fort Wilderness (resort and campground) and the Treehouses and had to re-accommodate guests with continuing reservations so couldn't extend mine. BOO. Anyhow... I have lost track of the timeline of booking. I originally made a reservation at Homewood Suites at the airport for Wednesday night, figuring I could return the car as planned and use the hotel shuttle for the Thursday flight. Then that flight canceled, so I tried for a room for Thursday night also, but they were booked so I made a reservation at Home2Suites at the airport, still figuring I'd use shuttles. THEN I learned I needed a hotel until Sunday morning. I called the car agency and they extended my car for a 'reasonable' price (an additional $221 for 4 more days) so I made a 2 night reservation at the Ramada/Wyndham in Kissimmee (stayed there last Sat night, it's fine, the reviews made me nervous but it was fine). I can't cancel the reservations at the 2 airport hotels as I'm past the cancellation date, so I am going to hotel hop for 2 nights, stay in Kissimmee for 2 nights, and hopefully get home to Maine sometime Sunday afternoon!
