[LaraB]

Hi

Couldn't see an August 2008 thread (sorry if there is one), so just wanted to check who else is going.

I'll start...

Going 9th - 30th August, staying at a villa in Lindfields. Flying with First choice, star class premier. Hope to be doing all WDW, Universal, Islands of Adventure, Seaworld, Discovery Cove, Aquatica, Busch and visiting Clearwater too.

V V V excited already, haven't stopped looking at forums since we booked!!

I can't wait!

We're going 8/1 to 10 & staying at the Beach Club. We're only doing WDW stuff this trip. Can't wait!

We will be there August 17th to August 28th. Hopefully at the Boardwalk . I hope time goes by fast.

Shelly,

Tell us more about that airfare!!

 

[shelleybell]

DFW= no "low cost carriers"
I love AA, so when I found the flights I wanted for $200, I booked them.
Notice I say, the flights I wanted. Last year, I spent $230. I could have waited around, spent days researching, and saved a whopping $20, on another flight, another airline, or another flight time. It is nice to know that it is done!

August 30th through Sept. 5th! I can't wait!!

 

[LucyMEWS]

Coming August 10th to 21st. Staying at Pop. Can't wait!!

I'm still making myself crazy obsessing about airfares.

Right now the cheapest I can get from JFK, Laguardia or Islip is $219-- either American or Delta.

Southwest, Spirit and Jetblue haven't opened up their summer rates yet.

I know I should just be patient (and go clean my house already!) but I really want to get a good rate, and I want it NOW!!!

 

[Shenandoah Minnie]

We are hoping to do a surprise trip for her 11th!! 8/6-8/10 or so...planning stages///

 

[Anasmom]

We reserved our next trip while at WDW two weeks ago in order to take advantage of the bounceback program. 40% off!!!! August 11-16 at VWL (one bedroom!). It's helped with the Disney blues knowing that another trip is in the future.

 

[shakebear]

I'll be at POP August 20-September 1st, can't wait !

Will be at POFQ the same time, though I won't be staying as long as you. Getting there on the 19th and leaving on the 28th. . .

Well, it's official! DD6 and I are going back August 13-21. I booked flights today, $118 RT from Newark (more with all the taxes). I haven't decided on resort yet.



I haven't told her a thing about it--the trip is going to be a Christmas surprise. She is obsessed with Ratatouille, so I think I am going to make up a box with a bunch of stuff in it and an "invitation" to visit WDW from Remy! It's already hard to keep my mouth shut...

 

[tinkerbell3747]

Were going Aug 3 - 18 08 staying at POP cast members are

DH - pretends he's not excited till we actually get there ( not sure how he does it)

DS (8 at time of travel ) does not know its a surprise, he'll find out when we land in Orlando

DD (4 at time of travel) completly oblivious LOL

DGM, DGP, DA, DC, DU, and me.. its gonna be great.

Is that the $148 flight I'm seeing from Continental? I've been hemming and hawing about booking it, since it will cost a fortune to get to Newark from Long Island. But it's a lot to save for the 5 of us..
