SOUTHWEST $69.00 EACH WAY.....WE ARE FLYING THIS TIME. :cool1:

Cheryl

That's a great price, nice job!! I've been checking Southwest in hopes that our dates for our July cruise come down.

[Coach Rick]

Yeah, airfares are crazy. You honestly have to look at them more than twice a day. I have seen a swing by as much as $50 up and down in a single day. I don't know you have have noticed how many SW flights have been cut from the schedule, but that is huge for our pricing. Less flights, more sold out = pricing being pushed higher, and less "cheap seats" availability.

[Coach Rick]

Well, I just started working for a new local agency. The Travel Connection on Atwood Ave. in Cranston. I am an outside agent, but maintain some office time on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I met with the regional Disney travel rep last week and we were talking about doing some sort of a "Disney" update for us people that just can't ever get enough Disney. Anyhow, I told him how we have had get togethers and he offered to come to one the end of April. My agency will sponsor it, so it won't cost anyone anything, and nobody has to bring a grill or food, it will be supplied. So my question is, how many here would be interested in a meet the end of April? We are looking at a weeknight, like a Wednesday or Thursday. Any interest?

What say ye my RI Dis'ers?

Hi! We are from Johnston, RI. Joined DVC on 11/2010 with 200 pts at BLT. We moved to RI in 2003 from Quincy, MA. First family trip to WDW was jul-aug 2010 and stayed at Pop. First DVC trip was at VGC last feb 2011 - it was our first family trip to Disneyland too!

I am also new to this board and so glad to see so many DVC members in RI. I have 3 co-workers who are owners too.:)

Hi Coach Rick
Do you need to own DVC to come? We are just considering it.

[briand1023]

I did not realize there were so many DVC owners in lil Rhody

[JaneSparrow]

MelissafromRI, Peanmunch, Chepic,*Coach Rick - thank you all for the welcome.

DIS meet sounds fun, I would love to attend and meet fellow dis members.

We don't have any Disney stickers yet. We bought the parents and son stickers wearing mickey ears and a Disneyland plate frame but DH didn't attach them yet. He wants to find a DVC one and a WDW plate frame.

Have you stayed at BLT before? Just booked for September and got BLT. My kids can't wait to stay there. Can't wait to hear all about your cruise.

[briand1023]

I have heard great things about BLT

[Coach Rick]

Have you stayed at BLT before? Just booked for September and got BLT. My kids can't wait to stay there. Can't wait to hear all about your cruise.

I stayed there last July (was there for the 4th)...absolutely loved it...by far my favorite resort!!!:thumbsup2:thumbsup2:thumbsup2

I will be staying there this August pre-Dream cruise in a 2 br, MK view. We had a 1 br MK view last year. It was so awesome sitting in the jacuzzi with my Mikes Hard Lemonade watching the fireworks FROM THE TUB:thumbsup2

Loved the fact that the gates of the MK were 3 tenths of a mile walk...

[JasonDVC]

Have you stayed at BLT before? Just booked for September and got BLT. My kids can't wait to stay there. Can't wait to hear all about your cruise.

I have not stayed there. This will be our first time. We have a Grand Villa MK View. (I think they call it "Theme Park" View now). We are looking forward to it but I am a big fan of the Grand Floridian and would be really tempted to buy some points there if BLT does not knock my socks off. We'll see. :thumbsup2

We leave in 8 days and we'll be cruising in just 10 days on the Dream. The whole family is super excited!! :thumbsup2

[Coach Rick]

One more call to my DIS bud's for the Disney Night at the 505 Club in Cranston. Before the agency mails out invites to the clients, it's open to my friends here first, so I have 4 of you so far that have indicated you are coming and you should have gotten an email from me today just verifying the info. If you did not and are coming, let me know. PM me your regular email so I can put you on my email list...(promise I won't stalk you :lmao:)

Voted! And now I need some advice from my fellow RI DIS'ers--we have our Dream Cruise booked for July 24, 2011 which we are quite excited for!! But we just got 2 1-day park tix, so I was thinking of trying to do a park before the cruise, but with the July heat I'm not in a rush to do that. Another thought was to try and do a long weekend on Columbus Day weekend in October to the parks, but the airfare is so expensive these days that may not be possible. And my other thought is to postpone the cruise to October and do a park visit then, but then the kids will miss days out of school. And we're just so excited to be in double digits in our countdown I'd hate to add 3 more months to that!! Decisions, decisions, ugh!!

Cheryl

[JaneSparrow]

Why wait? Add a few nights before cruise in July so you don't have to worry about missing school.

Seriously, I know most hate July/August because of the heat, but heck, hot is hot whether you are in RI or FL. Difference is, being in WDW is much cooler no matter the temps!

Thank you everyone for coming tonight. It was nice seeing you all.

If anyone is interested in booking ANY Disney trip, Cruise, Adventures by Disney, or Walt Disney World, Disneyland, or Aulani trip. Please pm me and I have been given permission to pass along all incentives and special pricing.

One thing I am extremely excited about personally is the Adventures by Disney trips. More I read up on them the more excited I get about them. Those of us with DVC points, my advice is don't use them for these or DCL cruises. I have rented unused points to pay for my cruises and come out way ahead.

Time to plan our cook out...Any ideas on a date folks? Lets get the party started!

We are available most weekends except July 10th :thumbsup2

[Goofy442]

Do we want to think about getting the field, that has the shelter and tables.
The field has a large grassy area for little ones to run around and not get hurt.

Just called Lincoln Woods to inquire about the Field/Shelter it is $75.00 and it is for the whole day. However there is nothing available till September 3rd.

She did say there was two areas that did have some grassy area.

The meet will take place on Saturday, July 2nd at 10 AM at Cinema World in Fitchburg, MA. Doors will open at 9:15 and the movie will start at 10.

[JasonDVC]

Checking in to see if anyone had reserved a spot for a RI Meet. I saw that the covered area isn't available 'til September and will cost $75. Sounds reasonable to me if everyone chips in.

I'd be happy to go there and book the spot for, say, September 18. Is that too late? The weather should still be in the 70's at that time. Would a July or August date be better if it means we won't have the covered sitting area?

Thoughts?

September would probably be good..July/August would be hot!!!! But I"m open! September might give us something to smile about since the kids would be back to school :mad: JMO 75.00 wouldn't be bad...I'll pitch in.

I'll second that September sounds good....we haven't been able to make the meets in the past when they've been held earlier. It seems like there is so much to cram into a short summer.

[LittleSeacow]

We should be able to go to a meet, we can usually adjust our schedule to work. We can pitch in on the cost as well.

Matt and Julie

[Goofy442]

I would be willing to share in the cost as well. I would call asap, it might be booked?

Count us in too for September! Hopefully the time doesn't conflict with soccer, both boys do fall soccer, but it's usually in the morning.

[JasonDVC]

Hello folks...Can you believe the summer is half way over!!

I checked with Lincoln Woods about a site for a meet. The covered area is not available but there is a really nice site right next to it, the problem is that it is only available Saturday, September 10 (Yes, that's 9/11 10 year anniversary weekend) and Saturday Spetember 17. Sunday September 18 may come open, the attendant told me she would call me the 18th re-opened. I held Sept. 10 just in case but that can be changed. Let me know what you think

[Goofy442]

Sorry the 10th is not good hubby's b-day and we will be in florida. The 17th or 18th is good.

the 17th or 18th works great for us
Lori

[LittleSeacow]

Both of those weekends should be fine with us

[JasonDVC]

Saturday, September 17 is booked for spaces 2, 2A, 2B, 3 at Lincoln Woods in Lincoln, RI. These spaces are directly across from the large field and consists of a decent sized open area themselves. Click here for a map (http://www.riparks.com/pdfs/LincolnWoodsParkMap.pdf) of the park.

The weather that time of year is usually in the mid 70's and barring a hurricane it should be a very nice day.

I will be arriving around 1pm, if anyone gets there earlier, great, have fun!

:thumbsup2

[Coach Rick]

Hey peeps, well yes, the 17th sounds like a go for me...

I have been away quite a bit lately trying to get this travel agent thing off the ground. I have to test out resorts before I can recommend them ya know.. :thumbsup2 Had a great trip to Barbados. Great island...sure I know it's not Castaway Cay, but it's beautiful, and the bajans are wonderful people! Loved the music, and the resorts are second to none!

Back to matters at hand, I will be at Bay Lake TP view in a couple weeks then on to a 4 night Dream cruise (again) LOL...never thought I would do two Dream cruises in one year! I will be doing a day pass at Sandals Royal Bahamian in Nassau for my wife and I..may as well make it a working vacation, huh... :lmao:

I'll check the boys soccer schedules that day, but we should be able to make an apperance!! Is it all day, or just set aside for certain time? Was there a fee to book this site, if so we'll chip in.

Hey girlfriend...you guys better be there!!!!!!!!!!!

It was GREAT!! The ship was beautiful, great CM's, and the slide was sooo much fun, especially at night!! I really don't understand why they don't make the pools bigger though. The day that we got off the ship DS9 says to me "so mom, how many more days until we go on the Fantasy?!"

[RLRDA]

Saturday, September 17 is booked for spaces 2, 2A, 2B, 3 at Lincoln Woods in Lincoln, RI. These spaces are directly across from the large field and consists of a decent sized open area themselves. Click here for a map (http://www.riparks.com/pdfs/LincolnWoodsParkMap.pdf) of the park.

The weather that time of year is usually in the mid 70's and barring a hurricane it should be a very nice day.

I will be arriving around 1pm, if anyone gets there earlier, great, have fun!

:thumbsup2

That date is looking good....we haven't been able to make the past two RI meets so I hope it works out for us. Our oldest DH is starting HS this year (:scared1: in a few weeks!) and I have no idea what his sports schedule will be.

Happy New Year RI Dis friends!

[Coach Rick]

Be vewy vewy quiet...I'm huntin...oh never mind, wrong studio.. LOL

Well here we are into the second month of the new year. I think it's time for a party, and I have just the place for it. I will be having a little gathering in Pascoag...yeah yeah, it's really not on the other side of the flat world.. :) I will be having it in my very own office/store at 96A Main St in Pascoag. Kind of a coming out party for my new office digs. Yes, those that didn't know I have my own office of The Travel Connection. I will let you know which Satuday it will be, or we can have it on a Sunday if anyone has any suggestions here? I will have my Rep from Walt Disney Travel in to pass on some updates. Lets get together right now..... (sounds like a song by some insects - LOL)

[rcgal2]

Cool! I'm looking into a cruise:goodvibes

[RLRDA]

Thanks for putting something together :goodvibes. We seem to miss all the RI DVC DIS-meets...hopefully we can make this one...keep us posted! We have a cruise booked for August so would love to find out info and tidbits from your Disney expert as well :thumbsup2.

[Coach Rick]

Ok, just got a response from my Disney Rep, March 10th will be the day. Noon to 4 will be the time. I will supply pizza, soda and water. I would like an idea of how many will be able to come so I can make sure I have enough pizza :)

By the way, February 29th I will be in NY to tour the brand new Disney Fantasy! Can't wait! I will have plenty of pictures and a complete write up of the new spaces on this ship.

[Coach Rick]

Ok, Disney day next Saturday, March 10th, Noon to 4. Special incentives being offered for any booking for Parks, Disney Cruise Line, or Adventures by Disney. BUT you don't have to be booking something to stop by and say hello and have a slice of pizza. Come on down, 96A Pascoag Main St, Pascoag, RI 02859.

[chainkid]

Stumbed on this thread and was surprised to find a fellow DVC member from my hometown. Small world.
