I am a bit irritated right now. :angry:We had our plan in place and now things are changing. Why you ask?
It has taken 2 years to get this trip off the ground...the dates kept changing...so I should not be surprised.
DSis was planning to stay at the Ft Wilderness Campground with her family, while my Dbro and his family (as well as my parents) were staying at POP. DH and I were planning to stay at CR (because we hate POP and CR is central with the monorail). That WAS the plan. Transportation to WDW was all taken care of so with the gas prices we could conserve a little money. DSis was going down early pulling her camper and planning to stay longer. The other families were going to carpool in two cars a little later. Perfect plan! Well this week, I get a phone call that the campground is booked for our dates and now the WHOLE plan seems to be changing!:mad:
DSis doesn't want to stay on site because she stay somewhere cheaper. :confused: She now has my parents staying in a house near WDW with her which doesn't make sense because they were going with group two (us). With limited transportation, how were they getting onto to Disney property? DSis doesn't have a car that fits 8 so we would have to go get my parents everyday to bring them on site.
SIDE NOTE: The nice part of staying on-site are those BIG RED BUSES! :bus: You drive on property and never have to get in your car again if you don't want to.
So I explained that to them and tried to encouraged them to consider staying on-site at the Value Resort with DBro to no avail. I believe my parents feel they need to help DSis since she has four kids with the baby grandkid of age 4....so of course he if the cute one. :ewok: So anyway, now my parents are going down with DSis in a separate car.
Dbro and I are having to rethink our plans and we pray that gas does not go to $6 a gallon by then! I know it is petty but it is frustrating sibling rivalry that never goes away...plus I am a control freak who just lost control!:fit:
Sorry to vent but since all of you are such planners here I know you can understand the frustration of making plans and then having things change and you have NO control.:bang:
I am sure that this is only the beginning of the plans that will continue to change over time! I guess it is part of the fun!?! :huh: Since we are going the first of January, we have plenty of time to have lots of kinks in my plans. I am making our ADR's on next week so they only have a couple of days to change their minds on that one!
