    Post all SW questions concerns, etc. here...

    I have a flight going into San Jose that was cancelled. Says I can change free of charge. The new times are horrible and won't work. However, flying into Oakland will work fine and times are perfect but the website will not allow me to change airports, can only change date and time. Any ideas?

    Looking for Route 66 Tips and Tricks

    So many great places to eat in Arizona besides chains, although Raising Canes is good. Hopefully you'll find time to enjoy the area around Williams, AZ. Deer petting zoo, zip line, several old fashioned 66 diners in Williams (For breakfast we love Pine Country Inn, excellent pies). In...

    Skyliner - Pros and Cons ?

    My wife is scared of heights and hates aerial trams. If the only option is a once an hour bus to/from resorts that's going to be rough!

    What was your first resort?

    Pop Century was our first and have gone many times and loved it. Then we stayed at Caribbean Beach and would love to be hooked! However, we got CB at a bargain rate that's not possible these days. We can barely afford POP or any of the values as their rates are anything but value anymore!

    As a theme park with rides, How is Sea World San Diego?

    They have a kids ride area with several smaller rides. As an adult I was able to go on most of them. I would not go to Sea World if your main intent is rides. It is not a ride park. It's main attractions are the various shows and aquariums with rides to fill in between. It's a great place, a...

    How big are the drops and how fast are space mountain and big thunder mountain rr?

    Space Mountain is very smooth and no steep drops. Goes up the hill, levels off for a couple turns then very gently starts down. It is not very fast as coasters go but gives the illusion of a higher speed due to turns and lighting effects. The sound track plays from speakers inside the car...

    Cheap stay..Kings Inn, Clarion, Motel 6 or other??

    I've used Hotwire or Priceline on every trip to DLR for many years. Always have stayed at well rated 3 and 4 star resorts for $50-$100/nt. Have stayed at Hilton, Red Lion, Crowne Plaza, Sheraton, Marriot and others. Before that was available we stayed at Motel 6 a few miles away on Katella in...

    Le Cellier Was Nuts!

    Last time we ate at Le Cellier was before they became a signature. They had fantastic food and service but was crowed and noisy even back then. But the prices were reasonable for the quality of food. Now its way overpriced. For the money we had a far better experience at California Grill...

    Tried Kona

    Wish there was somewhere at Disney that truly had a gourmet first class burger. I've been to many upscale restaurants around the USA that have $20-$25 burgers that were worth every $. Nothing I've found at Disney is worth more than $10.

    Future of Fastpass!

    WDW has digital FP kiosks scattered around each park. You can book FP's for any ride at any park at any of the kiosks. Can do so from phone too but I've found my phone signal is horrible inside the parks so the Kiosk's work well. Why at DLR do I have to go to each ride and/or land to get FP's...

    Help me ride all the Disney transportation

    Don't forget boats from DHS to/from EPCOT or boat from Downtown Disney to/from Port Orleans. The latter is a nice relaxing ride down a river). At many of the Monorail resorts or Epcot area resorts there are numerous fun activities for kids and adults. We've made Tie-Dyed T-Shirts a few times...

    Post all SW questions concerns, etc. here...

    While I prefer non-stop SW's no plane change layovers are the next best thing. Usually these layovers are short, 30-45 minutes. Once landed and everyone else exits the plane you're free to move to a better seat, anywhere on the plane before others are boarded.

    Tortured on using DME. Any advice appreciated

    I have heard that Disney started charging in 2016. However, our trip Nov. 2018 we were not charged at AS Sports. We did tip when they brought it to our room.

    SW If you want to sit with your kids

    Easy. Don't allow EBCI for ALL seats. Limit the # of EBCI seats sold instead of the entire plane. What is the benefit of paying $25 per person only to find out I have a C boarding? Yes, that happened to me and others. Do feel it's worth it to pay EBCI no matter what your boarding pass will be?

    SW If you want to sit with your kids

    True but there has got to be a limit to number of EBCI such that I can know what the worst boarding assignment I will get if I purchase. Would most people be ok with paying the EBCI fee and receiving a high B or C? I do not think so yet that is what can happen with current system.

    SW If you want to sit with your kids

    That's the main issue. I always check in exactly at 24 hours. Issue I have is that SW doesn't guarantee anything with EBCI. They appear to sell as many as people will buy. Your boarding assignment is in the order of EBCI's purchased. If you request EBCI late you can still end up with a high...

    SW If you want to sit with your kids

    I've flown SW for years and never paid for EBCI. I've never once had trouble sitting together. I've always gotten an A or mid B boarding pass.
