Oddly, my link to SW doesn't show it's open yet. Usually it does change overnight. impatient

good luck with your booking, lynne

adorable baby!!

Wow thanks for the pictures of the baby and prom beauty they are both adorable!

Thank you both!!!

Totally handsome! And soon to be a huge Mickey fan I bet.

Thank you! If his Aunt Carmen has anything to do with it, he will be a huge MIckey Fan! Unfortunately his mom (my sis) isn't (what is wrong with her) but I have already bought him some clothes with Mickey. Her other little boy will be old enough in a couple years or so to make the trip to WDW with us so I really hope they let us take him (and their baby when old enough). Her other son and my son are just 6 weeks apart and I know that they would have a blast together! Although my sis doesn't like Mickey, she says a trip to WDW would be "nice" but I'm really afraid that it would overwhelm her. We're considering getting a treehouse villa at SSR so they wouldn't have to worry about accommodations and she would have me along to help take some of the stress of the first trip off. But even if her and her hubby don't want to go, their boys will be going at some time! Aunt Carmen and Uncle Jarrod don't want them to miss out because what kid wouldn't love to go???

To Southwest January 2011 booking window..


open, open, open.....

I know! I'm not so patiently waiting this morning! DD has an orthodontics appt at 11 and I'm afraid that they will open the schedule while I'm there. This is when an iPhone sure would come in handy! I have the iPod Touch but I have to be able to tap into a network. It's worth a shot to take.

I love his name! I hope you get to go back and see them soon!

Thanks! I do too!

[carmie3377]

What time is your connect through Houston? I was able to see the flights out of HOU (all $148 pp) but then the error occurred. I'm hoping to get on the 7:55am Central time with an arrival at MCO at 11:00. Looks like your flights will be later (your 7:25 is pacific right???)

And here it is again. Cheaper to fly on the connecting flight than on just one leg of that connecting flight

 

[tinkryansmom]

yep 7:25 pacific - and now that I have entered all names, birthdates and info on 8 people - I am getting the error screen too. And the phones are all ringing busy.

Arrive Houston 1:10 or thereabouts and leave Houston an 2:50

Carmie

keep trying - I finally got my flights booked! Now on to the limo!!

 

[granmaz]

I guess there are Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year all being booked!!!

 

[Poohbug]

Ugh, I'm getting an error!!!!

Me too!

I received an email from SW-now available thru Jan. 7th- so I go to the website to see the flights. Error Code! You just can't do that to people.

I will try again later.

Carmie

Yay!!! I just tried again and still getting the error Guess I'll have to wait until after the ortho appointment.

 

[carmie3377]

We're booked!!! We did get the 7:55am flight out of Houston Hobby with arrival at MCO at 11:00am. Looks like we'll have time to get our rental and be at Earl of Sandwich in time for lunch

Now we're off to the orthodontist. Glad I got this done before heading out.

After several errors we also finally got booked. Grabbed the only non-stop out of Phoenix on Tuesday. It was a little bit higher than I was hoping but no big deal when you consider the no bag fees.

 

[JenKatt]

For those of you doing a limo to the port (Canaveral). We couldnt get Happy Limo to take our money. Plain and simple, they wouldn't return calls or emails. we're a big group so we're limited in who we can use. We tried Southern Elegance out of Orlando and they were prompt and the same price that we think Happy Limo would have been.
Since it's a one way trip, no coupon work.

Glad y'all got your SW flights booked. wish we could get the shore excursions soon.

 

[LindaBabe]

Yup. I got the error code too

 

[CruznLexi]

We got the $75 1:05 flight for early evening want to take time that day to get everything ready. We will get there Sunday at 9pm! We are doing the DCL bus only 2 of us. I like to get to the port early but we have 15 nights so no hurry. Plan to eat breakfast with Minnie at Cape May.

Kept getting error messages. I finally called, since I was hoping to use a rapid rewards. Instead of going out of San Jose on 12/31, we are going out of San Francisco. We leave there an hour later on a direct flight, and get in 10 minutes earlier than the San Jose flight. The fare at that time from SJ was $226. Out of SFO is $279, but our total is $5. I can live with that. I may even "go crazy" and book "early bird." LOL!

Also made our Thanksgiving reservations to Anaheim - $79 each way, so I'll be watching for Ding fares.

Hope everyone gets the flights they want.

 

[glindamood]

I hope the rest of you have good luck with your flights and get what you want - without errors. Just one step closer to getting on the ship.

As far as excursions go - I am so ready for them to release theirs.

 

[A Litle Pixie Dust]

I hope everyone gets the flights they want!

 

[orlandothebeagle]

Its all getting rather real now.

 

[JenKatt]

Won't be real until January 6th!!!!
