Blue Goose Trip

[TinksPixieDust]

Yuck! I just did some price checking on flights from Vegas to Orlando and they are higher than I paid for my flight out of here last time.

And it's a long flight, about 4 hours. Plus with the time difference, even if I leave really early Vegas time, I get there late Orlando time.

This could suck.

Just breathe deeply.

Just in case? Deena you have to come, we need your credit card.

Joanne used it all up on Coach bags.



maybe I can snag one of Davids

This is a bad tme to check flights.

SWA has lots of DINGS to and from Vegas. I bet you end up only paying around $200

Why is this? I am having similar trouble booking an outgoing flight in August for a reasonable rate. When does it get better?

Do many of you already have your airfare booked for November?

I like a bargain, a bargain will not be found there. We have shops at fifth avenue here, and I have no interest in wasting precious shopping time there.

Yep, Florida Mall is on my list of shopping places. It's a big mall, and they have a Bare Escentuals store, which is a rare find. I also want to hit the outlet where they have the Coach store; we'll take Deena's credit card.

The outlets sounds good.

I dont. I fly SWA and they only open a few months out at a time. Right now gas is high and busy traveling season. I think the rates will go back down some.

i looked at the first page trying to find pics of last year and see there are changes. i sent beth a pm but in case she doesn't see it right away, there are restrictions on some of the resturants on the number you can gett an adr for thru regular dining.

rose and crown has a limit and if it is over the number, you have to go thru group dining number. i had that problem last year when i set up rose and crown.

if you have a group gathering number then the tables will be together for the group.

 

[4greatboys]

We are not doing large group dining like last year.

 

[kelsco99]

I am going to check out what's available for dinners...

I am thinking of not getting the dining plan - I have it on my ressie now but maybe I will take it off because I plan on using DDE on my family trip in November

Beth, I kinda want to do the Cheesecake Factory. I've never been and it looks really yummy.

I WISH that it wasn't in such an upscale mall though... it doesn't really make sense why it is in a mall like that... from what I have seen, it doesn't strike me as an upscale type place?

As far as I know, no one has booked airfare yet. I know I won't be until it gets closer.

i sent beth a pm

Got it Mac!

I wanted to as well Kelly. And Missy had never been either.

I am just wishing it was in the same mall as the one we want to shop in. Can anyone tell me how far away the Florida mall is from the Millenia Mall? I just wonder how much of a hassle it will be to travel to one to shop and then another to eat?

I wasn't planning to eat breakfast that day, or most days for that matter, so we could always find out what time Cheesecake Factory opens and head there first for lunch after sleeping in or whatever, then head off shopping someplace else.

I don't know. Any ideas or thoughts are welcomed.

Around here, Cheesecake Factory is usually found in more affluent areas. Don't know why, but it is.

 

[mommaU4]

Yeah, the Cheesecake Factory isn't an uppity restaurant but it's usually in the nicer areas. It was that way in CA of all the ones I knew of. And in Vegas there is one in Summerlin which is a nicer area and also in Caesars Palace.

But it's really yummy.

Hi Heather. I added you to those ADRs you PMed me about.

Personally I don't think this time I will do a breakfast. I did two or three last time and while I really love breakfast and the thought is tempting, I decided this time I was going to sleep in and just eat breakfast in my room. (muffin, granola bar, trail mix, etc.)

If I change my mind and do a breakfast it will most likely be at Cape May as I've heard their breakfast is really good.

But that's just me. I am sure there will be some who will want to do at least one breakfast.

Oh thanks Teresa! I don't know why it didn't occur to me to do that.

So it's not far at all. Well, that's good then. If we want to do Cheesecake Factory we should be able to.

Beth, I don't have to do Cheesecake Factory, I'm OK with anything else.
