All Star Movies.
It'll be my first time there, I stayed at Music the last time, I wanted to go back, but it was still closed when we booked last year..

That's where we're staying the first night. :) This'll tick yet another Disney resort off my list. It'll be nice experiencing a different All Star resort from the one I stayed at a few years ago (All Star Music).

I went ahead and booked Mears because it's half the cost of a Lyft or Uber ($32 round trip).

Cool..:) Did you book a standard room?
We got a preferred room, and I'm kinda hoping we'll be in the Dalmations section. Everyone seems to want to be in the Toy Story buildings, so I'm like nope, not me..:lol:

Have you any idea what a Lyft will cost us to the resort? I can't find it on the app..

We booked a standard room since we're only going to be there that first night. We'll transfer to Port Orleans French Quarter the next day.

I just looked right now (8:23am in FL) and it'd cost $36.74 and that's ONE WAY.

And that's for two people right? Or are they charging that per person? If so, then the Mears bus is definitely cheaper..

Your trips sound exciting!

^I’m getting super excited about my NYC trip here in a few weeks! :woot:

That’s for however many would fit in an economy vehicle but even if you were splitting it two ways, it’s still more expensive. I don’t mind taking the bus, it’s relaxing and kinda cool to see some of the other resorts.

I bet, Jen! What dates are you going?

Hmm, yeah that does makes the bus cheaper.. I did love the Magical Express, even though I arrived at night last time, and it only stopped at All Star Sports. I might go and book the Mears next month then.

May 16-20. ;)

I'm trying to decide if I want to see Funny Girl that Tuesday evening? I could also meet up with a friend of our family's that night for dinner so we shall see.

Anja - I can also understand the benefits to taking a ride share to the resort, nothing beats taking you straight there after a day of travel. Please let me know what you decide on doing.

Yeah, I'll talk it over with my mom.
We do have a long travelday, leaving at 11am our time (which is around 5am Florida time), then have a 4 hour lay-over in Atlanta. We're supposed to arrive in Orlando around 8.30pm.

Oh wow! :eek: That’s a loooooong day for y’all! It’ll be so worth it and so much fun! :)

Hmm, now deciding if I want to keep my Tuesday evening clear to meet up for dinner with another friend of mine there. I wanted to see Funny Girl but the tix are $241.65! Plus it’s getting panned by critics who are more than likely and unfairly comparing it to the Streisand production. :( I feel so bad for Beanie Feldstein.

Oh wow. Pricey tickets.

I can imagine you'll be exhausted with the time change and traveling, Anja!

The time difference doesn't really bother me when I get there, it's when I get home that it hits me..

I think adrenaline is to answer for some of that. :lol: But yes, I was totally exhausted arriving in London and just wanted to crash!

That might be a huge part as well..:lol: Gosh, yeah I remember arriving and scaring you to death because you were half asleep..

^ Oh geez. :lol:

Hope everyone enjoys their trips!

Thanks! Do you have any trips planned?

:lol: Haha, you arrived right after I did. It hadn’t been 2 minutes before you came through the door but it was a good thing. If I slept I would've been out for that entire evening and night. :lol: I needed to force myself to stay up so my body could adjust to the time difference.

I am going to Traverse City in July. We have a nice resort we stay at every Summer right on the water. It’s very relaxing.

Oh, how lovely is that?! Have fun and enjoy your stay there! :)

Thanks! Appreciate that!

Ugh I need to pack for my trip next week. I love taking trips but I hate the packing bit. :lol: I’m worried I’m gonna forget something important.

Yes, packing sucks. :lol:

Good luck with packing Jen!:)
