April 2010 ABD Backstage Magic : California Here We Come!!!

[katscradle]

Started pricing the airfares tonight!
$257.00 R/T plus taxes, now this is the part I hate taxes for that flight right now are about $700.00.
So our total right now for 2 are about $1214.00 R/T for this trip.
The airports should not be allowed to charge this kind of money for taxes.
Will post when we finally bite the bullet and book our airfare.

Hi Susan!

Good question Someone is bound to get in trouble knowing this crew. I say we leave it with Paul. I'm sure we can find some reason for needing it by Wednesday forcing him and Alicia to fly out to LA and bail one of us out or pay our bar bill.

With your Mom not going, we might not need it on the first day !


How's the house coming along?

For bail or the bar bill?

House is box free. I'm at the decorating stage. Somehow I think I'll be here for awhile.

Give Jason a hug and kiss for me!

I don't know exactly how long the drive is for you guys to Buffalo but we're flying Southwest out of Buffalo and the costs aren't terrible. I don't remember exactly but I think it was $300+ r/t per person.

Also, try JetBlue from Buffalo. They fly from Buffalo to JFK and then direct flights out to California. We're flying out to Long Beach and then back home from LAX. We were $388 RT when I booked the flights a few months ago

[slapwhitey]

when are you flying out?

We're flying out the friday night prior but my lovely wife is the detail person in our relationship. Friday night is about as much as I know.

 

[skunkvette]

Just finished our flights, we are heading out of Philly on Friday AM (early), into San Francisco for a long weekend.

We have not been to San Francisco since 1998.

Booked a couple nights in Napa, maybe do the Napa train and hope to see the Disney Museum on Monday.

Fly in to LAX Tuesday, leave Sunday mid day, need to get back to the real world.

We fly out early Saturday, into Long Beach, spending a few days in Huntington Beach. Planning on going to the San Diego zoo one day, that is if I can get DH off the beach
Then we're either driving up to LAX on Tuesday morning to return the rental car and take the Disney transfer to Hollywood - or taking the car back to Long Beach airport and taking a regular town-car service to Hollywood.
I am a bit apprehensive about driving up to LA and then into LAX

90 days folks!

Great to see everyone's plans coming together

I wonder if Waking Sleeping Beauty will be playing while we're there

cheers,

 

[MatthewT212]

!WOW!

Only 90 days!

This trip is a dream come true and getting to meet part of the Dis is just the icing on the cake.

By reading the past pages of post I see that a lot of you know each other quite well. I'm looking forward to not only meeting all of you but getting to be with a group of people that share the love of Disney like I do.

See all of you in 90 days!

may kindness and health pave the way...

Don't worry Matthew, before Tuesday Night's Mixer is over, we'll all be great friends. Two things to remember.

1. Next walk in front of the Mickey Lightsaber.
2. Jason bites. Yes he's current with his shots but he still bites. Susan is trying.

Seriously, I am so looking forward to this trip. I've never been to Disneyland. I'm looking forward to seeing it and all the other places with like minded people. And I get to spend time with a bunch of people who are my friends, family and my BFF!

I love that idea that like you, I'm visiting Disneyland for the first time and that there are people like you that LOVE Disney and never expereinced it before and now we get to experience it together.

I need April to come NOW!

I will keep a friendly distance between Jason and I but it sounds like his bark is worse then his bite.

I think kab407 (BFF Kathy) is typing on her BlackBerry, so I wanted to make sure Matthew knew that she meant that you should NEVER walk in front of the Mickey lightsaber! Wouldn't want you to get scolded!
