Oh yay! Marie, good to see you again then!

I am SO happy that you told me about that dining thing! Gotta love this place!!!!

I know the dining plan is gonna be good on my pocket book. I'm thinking im going to upgrade my (will be) 9 year old to an adult because he is almost the same size as his 14 year old brother and no way those childrens meals will satisfy him.
Yeah flights are like that here from Winnipeg too. I mean for one thing there is NO direct flights to Orlando except in November and December. So right now for me and the 3 kids we're looking at about $3000 for the flights!!! My damn 12 days, 8 days park hopper, upgraded meal plan is only $3200! Flights suck from here. I am considering driving to North Dakota and flying from there. I have found flights for about $1800! That's a HUGE difference!
And me and Jenny are planning a meet up! If Enchanted gets her dates moved she's joining in. So for sure you can meet up with us. I think we're thinking of meeting over at Jennys AKL! I wanted an excuse to go to Animal Kingdom Lodge anyways for my kids to see the animals!
Hi Heather, that would be great to meet some fellow disser's , especially some CDN friends

I dont' know how much time we'll have though to scootch over to AKL (my favourite resort by the way!)...I am only there for 5 days.....one day per park, it will be pretty jammed.....if you guys decide to meet up for fireworks, or food and wine festival, or decide on a date for
MNSSHP, (I am thinking I would love a Tuesday Party, like Oct 2...but don't think there will be a Tue. Party if dates follow the same pattern as the last yr. --- second choice date is Sunday, Sept 30) -- in any event, let me know!

maybe we can arrange a quick hello!

I will be at Animal Kingdom Park, just not stopping by the lodge this trip..... Still not sure of what days/what parks, but I joined TGM too, so hopefully the least crowded park info will give me a heads up on that!
I wish I had an american airport nearby that I could fly out of.....Unfortunately, being in Edmonton, I am stuck using my home airport..... I am looking at flying to Toronto on Friday night (the 28th) so we can be rested for Saturday's 10:00 am flight to Orlando (that flight would have us arrive by 1:30pm) -- if we do this, we shouldn't be overly tired to spend the rest of the day at a park......Where as if I was to fly the red eye again, I would arrive in Orlando at the same time (1:30 pm)...but have to fly from midnight on Friday to Sat morning, then hang around Toronto for 4 hours ( from 6am to 10 am).....that would really put a damper on our arrival day!!
Actually, January/Feb really had some better flight options than October, I am quite surprised!!! I really want October though to try my first MNSSHP (not dressing up though)....and my first Food and Wine Festival, along with hopefully lower crowds, and maybe slightly coolet temps if we are lucky!! In any event, we should at least be able to swim in OCT
Looking forward to planning with y'all!!!
