OCSC Mike Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 Not sure how much I can help except to say there’s very little rain of any kind in the forecast today by me (Disney-ish) or Orlando. Even less the next 2 days. @Lovetocruise2002 Hope things work out as best they can. Lovetocruise2002 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted July 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 Delta’s reason for cancellation was “mechanical issues” We have made peace with the flight they rescheduled us on. At least they did they rescheduled compared to March 2022 they just cancelled and nothing was re-booked. Unfortunately, they cannot get us on another non-stop to MCO so that Atlanta flight connects to a 6:55pm flight to get us into MCO at 8:09pm . Hopefully still enough time for us to get to Whole Foods or Publix for some groceries before they close. And really hoping that there are no further cancellations or delays While we had lots of plans today, it’s really the Hollywood Studios tickets that I am worried about. That’s tomorrow and non-refundable. That and lost luggage with the stopover in Atlanta. Hubby has reminded me that the situation could be more dire. The cruise is not tomorrow, we got notice of cancellation BEFORE we checked our bags, and we still have our hotel room to chill and wait. With a ton of extra time, we had a nice breakfast at the hotel restaurant here (Refelctions), and now Hubby is taking a nap while I try to remain calm lol.

WAAAYTOOO Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 Oh, Sabrina, I am so sorry that this is happening AGAIN ! Flying these days is just a nightmare. So glad that we don’t have to deal with it anymore. Fingers crossed that you get out of there with no further disruption. Glad to hear that Justin is taking it all so well. I just hope that his highlight doesn’t get any further disrupted. Neesa, OCSC Mike, Ampurp85 and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncwmark Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) Well, the good news is that FlightAware shows your inbound Delta jet is now coming from San Diego and that flight has already left and is showing an on-time arrival into DTW @ 2:34pm. Hopefully they're able to turn the flight a little quicker than expected and get you off a little earlier? Wishing you safe travels! Sorry for the stress!

Uncwmark Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 There's also a DL flight into ATL at 12:54pm.... if you're already at the airport, you might be able to get rebooked onto that flight and at least get down to ATL earlier (and avoid risk of missing connecting MCO flight). Seems like there are a lot of ATL-MCO flights so unsure why they rebooked y'all so late in the day? Lovetocruise2002 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted July 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 Thanks all! At this point we are going to sit tight and wait The original rebooked flight departing at 2:30pm was a plane arriving from Seattle and that one had left on time at 6:00am (Seattle time) and then they switched us to a plane coming in from San Diego. Who knows what’s happening. That’s why I am afraid to move anything else around right now. Might as well just sit tight.

MLH Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 I live in Atlanta and just looked at the weather. It shows afternoon thunderstorms,however, there has been lots of cloud cover today and I don't think it is getting as hot as they said,so the thunderstorms may not be happening. Looks like you go from T gates to A gates,so not too bad of a connection distance. Lovetocruise2002 and Neesa 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovetocruise2002 Posted July 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 Sometimes life hands you chaos and there are small blessings mixed in. We just spent sometime hanging out and chatting with cruise friends who we have known through various cruise communities for a long time, but we have never met them in person. Fellow Canadians. Because our flight was delayed, we ended up being able to see them before they boarded their plane for their cruise.

Jax Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 I am just catching up on your travel delays. Ugh. What a mess and unneeded stress! It sounds like you are in the air; I hope your connection in Atlanta has no further changes and Justin’s Disney plans aren’t impacted. Flying is so frustrating these days; we have started doing a 7 day land vacation before the cruise vacation just to ensure we and our luggage are there. So crazy.

This happened to me earlier this month at MCO. I had a nonstop, but they put my bags on a nonstop that left an hour sooner than mine for some reason? Anyhow, as @Ampurp85 said, just go down to the baggage claim area, each airline has a counter with an agent that'll ask to see your claim tags, then find it in a roped off area with all of the bags that beat their owners.

It's United's policy to make every effort to report any lost baggage issues to the same office prior to leaving the airport if at all possible, so I would hope they have someone there as long as flights are arriving. You can also contact the United baggage recovery office at 1-800-335-2247, but that's a national line, not MCO specific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
