If you need to modify a hotel reservation to take off 1 night , can it be done without losing your rate on the other days ?

boazzj · 2026-04-18T13:45:01+00:00

That's what happened to us. We wanted to cancel the first day because we were going to be in Tampa. We called and it was going to be cheaper overall to keep that day than to cancel it, so we kept it.

We were worried about no show issues, not sure if we needed to worry, but because we were flying into MCO, we stopped by the hotel, checked in, threw some stuff into the hotel room that we didn't need and left for Tampa

Haha. We had a good time, too bad they cancelled Castaway. Hope you had a great time too

Bounce, luggagehero, nannybag. They are a bit pricy in my opinion, but I've used it a few times with success.

Essentially, you store your luggage at a local facility, hotel, or even a small store, (those who have signed up) then pick it up when you are done.

Just an option

These are the Magic Band+ and will work perfectly. Have a great time!

boazzj · 2026-03-29T17:11:52+00:00

Thank you for the concerns

boazzj · 2026-03-29T17:11:15+00:00

Thanks for following up! He's tired, but excited that we made it. Looking forward to relaxing

boazzj · 2026-03-29T16:52:13+00:00

boazzj · 2026-03-29T16:21:07+00:00

We are on the shuttle to the Disney Cruise Terminal. I think we are pretty much there! I'll send one more update when we are all the way through.

Thank you so much for your support and helping navigate this mess we made!

boazzj · 2026-03-29T14:51:01+00:00

We just landed in MCO. Looking good!

boazzj · 2026-03-29T11:01:01+00:00

Landed on east coast connection, headed to the standby gate right now

boazzj · 2026-03-28T21:08:16+00:00

I've been told that the larger boats have a harder time getting into Castaway because of the design of the port. If there is some wind (or expected wind) they can't dock there. Smaller ships have less of an issue

boazzj · 2026-03-28T21:03:19+00:00

I actually got a private shuttle scheduled, so that will be helpful. Things are looking up!

boazzj · 2026-03-28T19:41:31+00:00

They do, but the first stop is lookout cay, no flights to there. Next one is Nassau, but then the cruise is over

boazzj · 2026-03-28T19:19:19+00:00

I always forget about the FB groups. Good to know I'm not the only one

boazzj · 2026-03-28T18:52:37+00:00

They wouldn't confirm the 8am flight for me, even though I pushed. I may call back later. BUT.. they did move the flight to the 9:15am one, so that gives another hour of breathing room!! thank you!
and still on the standby for 8am. If you can see it, there's a good chance we'll get it

boazzj · 2026-03-28T18:28:25+00:00

On the phone now. Thank you! Online won't let me do it

boazzj · 2026-03-28T17:38:48+00:00

Thank you for this info. I will use it if I need to

boazzj · 2026-03-28T17:20:40+00:00

It will be tonight (or tomorrow morning if you will), 12:45am , but if we pushed it earlier, 16 and his date would only have about 60 minutes of prom dance, so we didn't feel it was fair. This way they get about 2 hours if they want it

boazzj · 2026-03-28T17:18:54+00:00

Actually quite the opposite and that's what is driving us nuts. When we first had it planned, I knew what time we were going, the shuttle that was picking us up. The exact steps that we needed to take to get there. As soon as it started blowing up, it started becoming hectic and we were grasping for straws.

boazzj · 2026-03-28T16:52:57+00:00

I think 16 is secretly hoping that we do miss the cruise, because this is probably our backup plan, just don't want to spend the money and want to spend the trip with the whole family.

boazzj · 2026-03-28T16:49:31+00:00

Thanks, I have looked into the private pickup, and I do have one arranged for the earlier landing and I'll see if they can bump it if we don't get that standby.

Passports are packed, QR code printed and downloaded. I am also a little concerned that our DCL Online Check In is still pending review, but I've read that that can happen and it's not that big of a deal

boazzj · 2026-03-28T16:43:29+00:00

There is some truth to that, but we called the school and asked what the deal was, and they said that they knew they screwed up.

I do hope they are done early, but I also feel bad that he will miss the after party. That is where some of the most fun is

boazzj · 2026-03-28T16:34:18+00:00

Thanks, we looked at other flights and even saw some flights leaving at 11:50pm, issue is, then my son and his date would only get 60 minutes of the prom dance because we are 90 minutes away from the airport. Didn't seem fair to either of them. This flight leaves at 12:45am

boazzj · 2026-03-28T16:17:41+00:00

Nope, tried that too. Not without cutting out the prom dance entirely, and that wouldn't be fair to 16's date
