I have spent the last couple of months searching for airfare sales from Chicago to Orlando for your August Stay at Pop. Last night I finally convinced DH that it would be cheaper to fly out of Midway than it is O'Hare, and he agreed to let me look. Low and behold I found airfare on AirTran for three of us for a grand total of $447. 
So we are now officially all booked, we have free dining from the bounce back program and ADRs are made, the trip is 100% paid for...so all I had to do was call Disney Travel and give them the flight Info.
First I was surprised that when I called, there was no waiting time...someone actually answered the phone right away...WOW! I told CM that I was calling to give me flight information, and she asked for my confirmation number. After she pulled up the information, she told me that my reservation had a request for a smoking room and that the resort would be entirely non-smoking on June 1st. I told her I knew that already, I read DisBoards! Then she tells me "DisBoards is no way affiliated with the Walt Disney Company and we can not be held accountable for any information you find contained within"
I got to tell you I found this really funny because I have gotten more correct and reliable information on here, than I have onsite. What can I say?! I trust everyone on here, you would be hard pressed to find a better group of people.
Anyway I explained to her that I realize that DisBoard is not affilated with the Disney Corporation, but I do trust the information found within, and won't hold Disney responsible for anything I read! There was a little back peddling then from the CM, "Well, online comunities are great, when you accept them for what they are" 
So now I am all set with Magic Express...on to the next project, family shirts and deciding on a birthday cake for DSS 21st birthday celebration at California Grill!

I am pea green (and I just returned last week)! Congratulations on the low airfare. We just booked AirTran out of Baltimore for our Oct./Nov. trip and it was the lowest fare we could find anywhere. Hope you and your family have a wonderful vacation. And, I agree the Disboards are just great
