So here goes. when we pulled up to the gate at Pop Century, security asked me to show my ID to enter. I gave him my DL, and for zero good reason whatsoever, I said to B “I would just hand him my passport, but I actually have it in my suitcase this time since I didn’t check anything on a plane”….. throwaway borderline nonsensical statement. And B turned white. as. a. sheet. She got back to Texas from being stuck in SoCal for two days after 1am last night. Had to unpack the Christmas luggage and pack the Disney/Cruise luggage, then get up by around 6am to catch the original long scheduled flight here to Orlando. A small unplanned chaotic window amidst a day of travel madness. I was worried she might have forgotten swimsuits or sunscreen. No. She had that. She doesn’t have her passport. &$#%¥!?+$!!!! We ran to the check in/concierge desk at Pop, talked to a woman who assured us they can receive packages for us and gave us the address and how to do it, and B immediately called her good friend back in Dallas. Friend was on the way to a nail appointment, but graciously canceled and headed to the apartment building, which, luckily, has a nice doorman who is going to let her up to the apartment. B swears she knows exactly where the passport is, and her friend is going to get the absolute fastest most expensive possible before 8am super overnight insert your mail directly into a body cavity with tracking numbers certified option possible. and now, we wait. B is a mess, and we can’t even discuss anything disney related yet. Her friend just got to the building, so hopefully this works and it gets here tomorrow morning…. 🤞 This sounds like a scene from "Planes, Trains & Automobiles". So far, it sounds like you'll get your wife's passport...sending positive thoughts! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lazydayz Posted December 28, 2022 #79 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Fingers crossed on that passport. Remember she can use a birth certificate if need be. And some states have them readily available to order online or for pickup. Good luck! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelkel2 Posted December 28, 2022 #80 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Can someone at home take a pic of her certified birth certificate for her? At least you’ll have a back up plan? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TxTeach79 Posted December 28, 2022 Author #85 Share Posted December 28, 2022 The passport is en route! 8am guaranteed delivery, certified. We talked to the front desk, made sure they knew it was coming and someone would be there. Folks at Pop Century have been more than accommodating. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
