    August 2015!!!

    Feeling frustrated. Tried two major DVC rental companies, and no points available to rent from Boardwalk Home Resort DVC members right now. I know at the seven month mark more points will become available as any DVC member could rent for the resort. But the question is whether rooms would be...

    August 2015!!!

    We're in. August 13 - 22, 2015. Planning on renting points at Boardwalk Villas. We were at the World in August, 2009, and it was horribly hot, but it gets horribly hot in August even here in Minnesota!

    July 2012 Car Rentals

    And checked again today and took another $7 or so off. So as others have mentioned before, keep checking those rates, up to the day you leave!

    July 2012 Car Rentals

    And this evening I plugged in the same data and came up with $177.88 after taxes (which I reserved). So things are looking even better!

    July 2012 Car Rentals

    Dollar & Thrifty had some good rates on fullsize cars this morning for our travel period, which is July 14 - 21 (rental is going to be 8 days because our return flight is not until evening). Anyway, they gave me 1 week @ $133.12 + 1 extra day at $18.69. With all the lovely mandatory extras, my...

    When is your areas 2012 Fall Break?

    OK, so we're not in a neighboring state, but time off for the schools here in Minnesota are determined by the individual districts. However, October 18 and 19 are a rare instance where ALL the schools in the state are closed. I don't know how many Minnesotans head to Disneyland during that...

    New airline to fly out of MSP

    I stand corrected about FL and CA destinations. Similar to Southwest in that they will get you to MCO via Chicago. But man, what a way to nickel and dime you death!

    New airline to fly out of MSP

    Yes, it is Spirit. But apparently for now they are only going to have flights to Chicago and Las Vegas from MSP. So no Florida (or California) destinations. Star Tribune's latest article: http://www.startribune.com/lifestyle/travel/140862673.html Oh well....

    New airline to fly out of MSP

    Star Tribune is saying odds are good that it will be Spirit. They had an video report, and apparently Spirit charges $40 for a carry-on? Also sounds like they are pretty limited in the cities where they fly, so we'll see if this will be worth getting excited about or not.

    Disneyland Express vs. SuperShuttle (from LAX)

    We'll be making our first trip to Disneyland in October, and I'm wondering about the merits of Disneyland Express vs. SuperShuttle for ground transportation from LAX. Is there a compelling argument for one over the other? I may be leaning towards SuperShuttle, simply because there would...

    New airline to fly out of MSP

    The rumor mill has it narrowed down to JetBlue or Spirit. My guess, based on nothing in particular, is Spirit.

    New airline to fly out of MSP

    A tiny bit more info in the Star Tribune article: http://www.startribune.com/local/140589983.html The only extra bit of news (for what it's worth), is that the deal has been three years in the making.

    New airline to fly out of MSP

    The Minneapolis Airport Commission (MAC) announced today that a new airline will soon be flying in and out of MSP's Humphrey Terminal. They're not announcing which airline until Wednesday, so it's unknown at this point whether they'll have flights to MCO, but MAC did say that it's an...

    October 2012 Planning.. Anyone else?

    Count us in! Just booked airfare and hotel (Best Western Plus Park Place Inn). Mutiple visits to WDW, but the first to DLR. I guess I'll have to change my signature!

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

    Finally found the following on Southwest's site: "On November 13, we will open our schedule for sale through August 10, 2012. This date is subject to change! Please check back frequently."

    Sun Country and Southwest for Summer, 2012?

    Never mind. I found it! ('Cause all you have to do is ask, and then it jumps right out at you!)

    Sun Country and Southwest for Summer, 2012?

    Thanks! Can you point me to where on their site it says that? I looked, but couldn't find it. (I'd like to show some family members that are also going.)

    Sun Country and Southwest for Summer, 2012?

    Thanks, Kristine! I take it you are talking about Sun Country opening their July dates in Jan/Feb (vs. SWA). I agree that flying out of Humphrey Terminal is much smoother (parking is cheaper too!). We flew SWA in March out of Humphrey, and it was sooo much better than the main terminal!

    Sun Country and Southwest for Summer, 2012?

    We'll be heading to FL in July, 2012, and are flying from Minneapolis (MSP). I read elsewhere that SWA will be opening dates past June 1st on November 14th. Has anyone else seen this, or can confirm this? I'm also wondering if anyone has a sense of when Sun Country might be opening its flights...
