[Keels]

8 miles this morning and I didn't die. I'll take that as a win!

Has anyone booked flights yet? I've been watching mine and the prices haven't really changed for a few months now. Should I just go ahead and book or wait it out a little bit in the hopes that the prices drop a little?

I booked our flights a couple of weeks ago. We got decent prices although nothing spectacular.

Our flights are booked, but we're using points, and point prices have done nothing but climb.

We started looking at flights going down there but southwest doesn't have return flights out yet.

I have booked my flights, found a good deal and went with it. Now I just need to figure out where to stay.

Thanks guys! I like having them bought and out of the way early so I think I'll get them this week.

So this past January (my 1st marathon!) I stopped to ride Everest. This time I'm starting a new tradition where I run 25.5 miles fast enough so that I arrive at the Norway pavilion by 10:55 and be first in line for Frozen Ever After and avoid this:

Norway/Mexico open at 9am instead of 11am with the rest of the World Showcase. 300 minute waits will not be the normal for this ride (I hope).

Well I guess I'm just going to need to pick up the pace of my training runs...

Well they probably will be for a while. When Anna and Elsa first started their meet and greet waits were 300 minutes for a few months.

So, when we discovered Dopey was still open for 2017, we jumped in! Can't wait!!!!

Yep. 2017 packages have opened up today.

A note even though I don't think many people book them is the platinum and premium magic your way packages are gone now.

We started looking at flights going down there but southwest doesn't have return flights out yet.

I checked their site today and they are going to release flights through March 7, 2017 on July 7th.

We're staying with friends who own DVC. We've got a two bedroom at Saratoga Springs which I'm excited about I've never stayed in a villa.
