20050514..May 14, 2005...Official Check in Disney's 1st 14 Day thru Panama Canal Part 2

[BobandLee]

Can you still get Benigets at POFQ?????

"Don't like benigets,
too much sugar and dought.
But I will play for Gumbo!"

 

[Az Pirates]

Az Pirates,

We might be on the same flight as you. We are flying w/ Southwest on the 8:30 flight. But we are taking America west on the way home

Serena,

Yep - we're on the same flight!

See, now I do feel better about flying out on the 13th. We'll have some fellow Disers to get excited with... and possibly tagged for the extra security check with since we all have one way tickets. My DH seems to get picked for those fairly often anyway. (I don't think he looks particularly suspicious - but who knows)

Glad I booked early - last time I checked the only fare catagory left on that flight was the $299 refundable anytime. Ouch!

we hope to take the grandparent express (motor home) back from CA to AZ after the cruise. Still have to work out a few details - but it looks like it may be a go. I figure if we can talk them into leaving all their lounge chairs and patio stuff they normally travel with home, there should be lots of storage space underneath - so we won't have to worry about luggage issues on a flight home and I can shop with wild abandon (well, as much as the credit cards and DH will allow anyway) on the cruise.

 

[kpros]

Boy, talk about coincidence! I can't believe that both Amy and Laurie will be on the same flight to MCO from Oakland, CA! DH and I fly SW out of San Jose instead of OAK on 5/12. We arrive about 5:30pm and will be heading to Epcot upon arrival to have dinner and enjoy Illuminations. Anyone else slated to see Illuminations on Thursday night? If so, maybe we can meet up and watch the show together.

We are also going to be a Epcot all day on the 12th. Segway in the morning and Dive Quest in the late afternoon. Then dinner at 8:00pm at the Japanese Pavilion.

What time is Illuminations? Epcot stays open late on the 12th for Extra Magical Hours.

[videogal1]

We're doing a Friday the 13th flight too.

(on Southwest)

You guys don't by any chance have a stop in Austin on your way to Orlando, do you?

 

[kpros]

Kara

I found the IlluniNations time for May 12th - 9:00pm. If we don't hit the sake to hard, we can probably meet you someplace to watch at least part of it.

Ken

 

[Serena6010]

You guys don't by any chance have a stop in Austin on your way to Orlando, do you?

Sorry Lynda.....we have a non-stop

Ken

That would be great...for that matter, we may end eating dinner in Japan too. We haven't decided on where to eat yet. I have to take baby steps with my parents - commando planning freaks them out a little !

 

[karaeric]

Sorry Lynda.....we have a non-stop

Hmmm...that gets me thinking. We fly from SJC down to San Diego. Anyone flying out of San Diego on SW on Thursday?

 

[Cinderelly516]

That would be great...for that matter, we may end eating dinner in Japan too. We haven't decided on where to eat yet. I have to take baby steps with my parents - commando planning freaks them out a little !

I think that is the night we also have planned to eat at Teppanaki Grill in Japan and watch illuminations

What do they say about great minds!

 

[kpros]

I think that is the night we also have planned to eat at Teppanaki Grill in Japan and watch illuminations

What do they say about great minds!

That's where we will be at 8:00pm - the Teppanaki Grill. Already have the reservations.

Ken

 

[Cinderelly516]

That's where we will be at 8:00pm - the Teppanaki Grill. Already have the reservations.

Ken

Our reservation is for 8:45 so I guess we will be seeing illuminations another night (My husband is the planner/reservation maker so I had to look up the times ).

So we will get to see you as your finishing up, you can give us your recommendations on what to order

Amy

 

[Hygiene99]

Who else is flying Southwest to Orlando?

I know it's not everyone's first choice...but, we couldn't beat the price from California.

We Also Are Flying********* But hey for free one way and 70 bucks the other you cant go wrong.. Peter

 

[Hygiene99]

Hi Scott

Are you going to use the new "Magical Express" service (does that work for DVC members?). If so, we could be on the same bus since we will be at the Port Orleans.

Ken

Would also like to know if This service works for Dvc...ok i does not...

peter

If so, maybe we can meet up and watch the show together.

I've always wanted to stay at POFQ...but that's on the agenda for a future trip. For this trip, we're staying at Shades of Green because my father is retired military and we wanted to stay there now that they have reopened after a major rennovation.

We Will Be There.... on Thursday night.. watching the Show...
and either before or after at the Flying fish for Dinner

Peter, I called DVC to bank some points this AM and was told by MS CM that Magical Express was available for DVC members using points during the celebration.
