    Default Changing travel plans?

    Is anyone down in WDW now going to change travel plans due to Sandy? We are supposed to fly home to Newark, NJ Monay night, but I am debating on changing my flight to earlier in the day. Not sure if knocking it back to the morning or early afternoon will make much of a difference as the weather website says tropical storm conditions are likely all day. I would really hate to cut my vacation short a day and leave on Sunday

    I'm flying out Monday night, too. I haven't changed my plans yet. My husband has been watching the forecast back home and says Tuesday is supposed to be the really bad day. But Monday night is risky, I think.

    The storm hits Monday night but the wind field is so large that travel conditions will be extremely difficult, if not impossible, all day Monday and Tuesday. Monday morning might be possible to get in, but once the afternoon gets here expect cancellations.

    So sad that a lot of you had to cut your vacations short

    I was thinking If it was me, I would rather be stuck in WDW but I would be thinking of my parents and dog the whole time. Guess its better to head home early.

    We decided to extend by one day. Rented a car and will start driving home Tuesday morning spending the night at my brother's in SC and continuing the rest of the way Wednesday. To rebook a flight, we'd probably be looking at Thursday or Friday. I'll take the refund (hopefully) and make the drive before work gets too angry.

    We got cancelled. Of course airtran waited until after check out. We had a package with free dining and disney told us we couldn't extend the offer nor continue our passes starting at day 5 so we left for Ft. Lauderdale with my BIL. We are on hold to find out what our change fees will be to switch to this airport. Ria, we are thinking of doing the same... Just cancel and start driving back tues AM. Had a great time at the meet but so bummed with this ending.

    I am home, but it was not pretty at MCO for a lot of people. Flights cancelled over and over, and people being told ay least 48 hours before they could get out of MCO.

    So glad you got home. I know TikiGoddess got home, too. I wish I'd been on her flight, but it was booked solid. So now I'm here and grateful not to be stuck in an airport, at least.

    We got a Weds flight. Tried to give us Tuesday and we said uh-uh. It routes through ATL with a 4 hr layover. I feel like a lot could go wrong. Like Ria, we will monitor events and still may drive.

    Default Home to madness

    I came home yesterday evening into Pittsburgh.

    My job is call center support for a large company with call centers in Portsmouth, NH, Waltham, MA, Wilmington, DE, Chelmsford, MD, and Swedesboro, NJ... in addition to others.

    So all day..... I shut down these sites, re-routed their calls, helped them log in from home, pretty much dealt with madness.

    From to

    At 11:30 AM, I looked at my 20th EMERGENCY request and said in my head "Yesterday at this time, I was at the Drop Off at Art of Animation"

    I hope everyone is safe. We are expecting it tonight 4 to 6 inches over the next 24 hours.
