We worked out the lodging situation, but traveling is a whole other problem.  Clearly, we cannot fit eight people in my little Prius.  Therefore, we decided to either have them rent a mini-van which can be available for them to pick up at the Orlando airport car rental or we may decide to pick up a vehicle before they get here so we can pick them up from the airport.  We also have family flying into Fort Lauderdale and fortunately there is a Fort Lauderdale airport car rental at that airport as well.

If we decide to get an Orlando car rental to pick them up in I can also use it to drop off some long over due donations I haven’t been able to fit in my Prius for the holiday season.  Who knows, maybe I will free up even more room that we didn’t know we had in preparation for their visit.
