Having To Move

Today is Preliminary Day, and instead of taking the time in the morning to meet, focus on their routine, and maybe get in some last minute practice, Ali’s team had to move hotels.  HAD TO is a relative term I guess because they didn’t actually HAVE to move hotels.  But since the team had to stay in the Wyndham off the Disney grounds, they are not able to utilize all the Disney perks; mainly being the transportation.  So instead of having to have the parents shuttling the girls around from the hotel, to the competition, or to their practices and the parks, the coach is moving the girls to a Disney resort/hotel.  So we are getting the girls all loaded up and shuttling them from the Wyndham to the Disney Pop Century Resort.

The move actually went pretty smoothly.  We ran into a little problem when we got to the Pop Century because I followed the instructions from the guard at the gate, and we ended up in the wrong place.  Luckily we figured it out and got the girls to the main lobby with the rest of the team right away.  The bad part was, however, that they couldn’t get to their rooms right away.  They were going to have to drop their stuff off, and then after their round, they’ll head back to the resort and get moved in.  But I guess that at least having their things there is the important part.  So now they have about 4 hours to prepare.  I hope this doesn’t throw the girls off.
