Okay, so only you guys will appreciate my disappointment.
On Monday, we missed our connecting flight in Charlotte, on the way back from a non-Disney vacation. Today's direct flight from Charlotte to Toronto was full, so we were on standby for it and confirmed on a connecting flight to Toronto by way of Orlando, with a really tight layover. American Airlines had been brutal for delays and such this trip, so we weren't confident that we'd actually make our connection in Orlando and be able to get home. I was starting to worry...wasn't keen on our travel day stretching to three, as two was bad enough.
However, DH looked at me and said "well, if we miss the flight and get stuck in Orlando, can you call and see if you can get a night at Beach Club? Maybe we could have dinner at Biergarten and wander World Showcase for the evening."
I've never been so disappointed to get a standby spot on a "better" flight before. Yeah, I'm now at home...but I could have been at BC!
