49 days left until our 1st DVC vacation for this Selden (Suffolk) family.

Bay lake tower for 12 days. Can't wait, the countdown is starting to move.

My parents just got home yesterday and I picked them up at Islip, so I got to hear the stories already which got my Diz funny bone twitching even more.

Hi and Welcome
I think we are going to be there the same time as you we arrive on 8/6 late till 8/12 even tho im doing a cash trip ? hope your countdown goes quick

My friend just told me they saw in the paper that ISP airport is closing . That stinks I just found out how nice it is to fly out of there . I hope they figure it out and keep it going . She said it was cause its not making money .

they just said on news 12 that ISP is looking to land some over seas flight and that would attract airlines to come there . On the note that last week they said travel from ISP was big time down from the year before .

It amazes me that only 2 airlines operate out of ISP. Southwest ad US Air. Isn't JetBlue signed to begin ISP service starting 2014?

I think it speaks VOLUMES to the decline in business in central LI. Personal travel is big, but business travel is what many carriers rely on.

I traveled out of all the 3 NY airports for business, many of them being 1 day trips (out in the Am, back at night) and i would gladly pay more for the ability to come through Islip. Trips like this out of the western airports, I would need to get up at 3-4AM to get in for my AM flights, then sit in an hour + of traffic on the way home.

I don't believe that international is going to be the answer. I think other carriers need to be lured in to expand their reach.

Well now I am confused. I looked up the airport closing. There wasn't one article about it closing. I did see they shut down the airport on Sat. but that was because of weather. Also, 2 international airlines are interested in using MacArthur if they can get the okie dokie from the government. Lastly, if I'm not mistaken, Southwest has a long term contract with the airport. My friend did have a SW flight cancelled on him. SW is only doing one non-stop to Ft Lauderdale, each way, a day. I think that has something to do with SW buying Airtran.

Seems that everything get shot down on LI . The lighthouse project , the race track out east . This island really has nothing to offer but traffic IMO . If my house sell I am gone .

The lighthouse project would be nice IMO . Create jobs and more to do around here . and they are worried about traffic . They obviously haven't been down that area much . It cant get much worse .

So lets try a little Long Island Disney trivia.

Of course as you know Queens is located on Long Island. The 1963-1964 Worlds fair was held at Flushing meadow park in Queens. Walt Disney built 4 attractions for the fair. Today parts of all four of these attractions are still in use today at either Walt Disney World or Disneyland. I bet your kids wouldn't believe that some of their favorite rides were once located on Long Island.

Questions:

1) NAME THE 4 ATTRACTIONS

2) HOW DO THESE ATTRACTIONS EXIST TODAY?

And remember, NO GOOOOOOOOOOGLING!!!

Hello to our MASSAPEQUA PARK neighbors. Is that your van with the DVC plates?

Nope, no DVC plates for us but I have seen 2 sets of DVC plates around the neighborhood...it always makes me SMILE!

Hmmm...can't think of any other attractions from World's Fair.

On another note, have you been on Sunrise Hywy Last two days...traffic backed up for a mile or two in right lane...all because Dairy Queen I'm told by my kids. NUTS!! Is it really the only one on Long Island???? And, heck what is so good about it to cause traffic?

 

[Tink Fans]

Joe- When will you be on the Breakaway? I'll be on the June 23rd sailing and I can't wait!!!!!

Have a wonderful trip on the Breakaway!

mom just told me about DQ opening where on sunrise HWY is it in Massapequa ??

 

[Tink Fans]

DQ is on the South side of Sunrise Hywy in Massapequa-- across from the Sunrise Mall. I think I've only had DQ in Florida.
