Calling all Kentucky Bluegrass DVCers

[KYCruiseCrazy]

Now for the state fair, they are now calling for HOT and HUMID weather for the fair. Why is it that once the state fair happens that it always gets hot and humid. for the part 10 years it's been that way.

I saw in the MouseSavers newsletter where DCL was $399 a person this fall season for the 4 night bahama cruise. I think Carnival's still a bit cheaper, but that's not a bad price. We already have our trip to WL planned, otherwise, may have considered the cruise.

Have any of you flown out of O'boro on Allegiant? We just caught the $19 fare sale which was good for our dates in 3 weeks. We were originally going to drive because the cheapest airfare for 5 of us was still around $1200. When I caught Allegiant's deal, even with all of their fees and the fact we would need a rental car, RT tix and rental car for the week are a little over $600!!!!!! I am pumped it's like icing on the cake for a week at Disney!

Wow! That's a great price. With our children in school, we like October and April (Fall and Spring Break), and never seem to find that great deal during those times. You got a great price. Let us know how the flight works. Are you able to do ME to Disney? Or, are they landing at the other airport?

Welcome. I think Clarksville is really just a suburb of Louisville, so that counts for me. What do you do at UL? Faculty? Staff? What Dept? Did you buy into BLT? Have a great trip. We really enjoyed OKW.

.

YOu fly into Sanford which is about 20 minutes northeast of Orlando so no Magical Express but , Allegiant partners with one of the rental car companies so you get their corporate rate if you book thru them. We got a sm size SUV, Ford Escape I think for $225 for the week.

Can't wait. The first weekend's weather looks to be calling for the possibility of highs in the mid 80's and low humidity. I'm not holding my breath.

State fair to me means HOT AND HUMID

Is anyone planning on making the trip this year?

I'm going to the State Fair twice - mainly for the concerts. Going this Saturday to see Tim McGraw & Montgomery Gentry. Then the last day of fair to see Rascal Flatts.

I'll pass, although am looking forward to 1st NASCAR Cup race next year. BTW, I like the changes in the thread name.



Ouch for the cruise points. Carnival cruises are so much cheaper. Is the Disney Cruise that much better? As for Christmas closures, that is scary too. I want to do the MVMCP, as I really enjoy the MNSSHP. But, if it is that crowded, not sure how fun it will be? I think we'll try it one of these years, but probably not anytime soon.

We perfer the Disney Cruise and think it is worth the difference. One thing is they do not nickle and dime you like many other lines.

Welcome! You will like both resorts. They are very different but nice. I have one child at Uof L and one at IUS. My heart will always be for the Cards!!!

So you are the one I get all the stuff from. I graduated twice from U of L. Once in Dental Hygein and the other in Accounting. I know they are not even close. I do not know what I was thinking with the DH.

I love the shows too but not planning on going to any this year.
Would LOVE to see Joan Jett for FREE but its on my bday and I don't think my family would be too pleased with me if I jilted them to go see Joan Jett.
Have a great time at Tim McGraw & Montgomery Gentry. Love both of them!

Heading to OKW for 9 days in 3 weeks - can't wait to get there for a much needed break - we are moving between now and then and are looking forward to relaxing! We are hitting up MNSSHP on the 14th - woohoo! I think the Halloween Party is a blast and can't wait for the kids to go trick or treating - just gets us in the mood for fall

We really like OKW. We own at SSR and BLT. I consider SSR and OKW are style resorts and similar in location, that you can enjoy all of DTD via boat ride and still have that relaxing, secluded resort stay when you need it.

Not bad. I was watching the website here in Owensboro, and August flights were $19.00 (one way). But, for October, they are back to $120. I wonder how prices increased for fall break week?

We loved the MNSSHP. We did it the first time last year and had a blast. So, we definitely included it again this trip and probably many more. One of these years, we need to go in Dec and go to MVMCP.

To all who are traveling, have a great trip!

WOW!! What a weekend so far. I've been to the state fair twice this week. The best part was last night when we saw Jeff Dunham. Great seats. only 5 rows back. I'll try to post some video. I love it that September is almost here. Cooler weather

Getting closer to me adult's only trip

The funny thing was I had been watching it for some time and up until about a month out from my trip the price had stayed pretty steady at $68 one way. Just happened to check it one Friday nite and the seats were $19!!!! So the very next morning I called my aunt to see what she thought because she has flown out of there a couple of times, anyway she said if you want them you had better book them, you never know how quickly there prices will change. So I did and good thing because by Sat nite they had already gone up $10 each way($100 difference for my family of 5). Keep checking as your dates get closer you never know, of course you are looking at fall break it sound like so who knows......... but my advice....KEEP CHECKING!!!!

It does look really fun. I add DCL along with a trip to Aulani to the bucket list.

I think the best prices for flights are really far in advance (so they get your money and hope you don't show up) or really close to flight time (cause the plane is going to fly anyway). I'll keep checking and maybe we'll get lucky. We have AAA and will see which discount is cheaper. Thanks for the info on rental car.

I'm thinking a DCL cruise to Hawaii and then a DVC vacation in Hawaii then fly back home. Hmmmmmmmmmm. I hope this will happen.
