May 25th, 2013 Fantasy Western!

[afergvip]

I suppose we will just drive down from GA. It's about an 8 hour trip. Probably drive 1/2 way on the 23rd then be in Pt. Canaveral by lunch time on Friday. It worked well for us that way the last time. I'm getting very excited planning this trip! Still confused as to what to do with the little ones for excursions, but it will all work out I'm sure!!

Yeah, we have booked our air it seems real now, bills to prove it lol. It is still so far away but love the planning!

I've been looking for airfare and its so darn expensive. What airline are u flying? I usually fly southwest, but their schedules aren't out yet.

 

[Lauralooneyfordisney]

only 7 more months to go!!

I had found an awesome deal on airfare back a couple months ago with United. From Denver to Orlando was only $544 for the two of us total! That was $300 less than the year before. United seems to be the cheapest that I have seen so far through Expedia and Orbitz too. They say to check on Wed for the lowest fare but I usually check every other day until the right fare come along. I jumped on that fare though.

We are flying United Jet Blue and Virgin Air schedules are out but we wanted non stop both ways. American and Delta was a bit 20 dollars cheaper but I'm a United premier member so with one free bag it made United a better deal. It was still 554 with tax.

[Djjsperry]

Ouch!!!!!! Thats more than i paid for airline tix over xmas a few years ago to MCO. We're coming from N Cal. Flying out of SFO or any other Bay Area airport that's cheapest. Planning on waiting it out a bit and hoping we can at least get airfare under $400 pp.

Welcome Libby! Got you down on the spreadsheet. Because of the way you gave me your info, I've put you down as one participant of 4 adults and 3 kids. If both staterooms want to participate separately, let me know who's in each stateroom and I'll split you out.

Good luck. Just couldn't wait any longer lol. I booked this trip eleven months out booked air seven and a half months out. The flight we are on has gone up 20 dollars, but yes it may go down later. I feel DH can't cancel trip now lol airfare is non refundable.

Do we have a Facebook group yet? I will need to know the exact name of the group if we do. I cannot click on anyone's signatures. I have an iPad and we don't see them.

Thanks Janelle

 

[kirkaliciasmom]

OK, these days you need to have a Facebook group too. Our last cruise didn't use it much but it did allow folks to make friends and get to know each other a little easier than here.

So . . . May 25, 2013 Disney Fantasy Western Caribbean Cruise

See you there too?

Here's the FB group.....

Hello Everyone!

We just booked the cruise last Tuesday. We were originally booked for an August 3 Alaskan cruise, but my father had a ruptured brain aneurysm and stroke so my mother is unable to go. It was her dream trip too. We have to use the DVC points so I'm still going to take the kids on a trip. Now that I'm doom and gloom Here is a little about us:

Adults with name: Sandra and Michael
Children with name, age and gender: Kassie (8) Autumn (10)
Stateroom(s): GTY
Celebration(s): Kassie's 9th Birthday
Allergies: None
First Cruise?: N

I'm so sorry about the unfortunate events that happened to your dad, and your mom missing out on her dream trip. On an up note, WELCOME!!!! Happy to have you and your family join us on this cruise. Hope you decide to participate in the FE.

Will you be staying at WDW after the cruise? I just booked BCV today (7 mo mark) for 1 week after the cruise with hopes to extend that to 10 days.

We will be on this cruise too. So excited! We booked it without knowing if we could go for sure but now it is looking like it will happen. This will be our 2nd Disney cruise after several Royal Caribbean ones in between. So excited to be back to Disney!
