"Once Upon a Dream" 4 Night Dream Cruise 10/16/2011

[Karen Mouse]

Southwest is open today for booking in October. I am checking the dates. It looks less to fly in and out on a sat for us which kind of messes with my dates now.

WOW! Thats totally the opposite way round for us - we have to pay a high premium to fly on a Fri Sat and Sunday!

It costs us about $600 more to fly over the weekend!

 

[Twinprincesses]

We can still fly out on Friday but not as late as I was wanting too. I might have to pull them out of school 1 more day (I am such a horrible mom).

Our plan is to do Universal on the 15th so that might be the plan. however we are def going to fly home on the next sat. Flights home are $100 more on Sunday per person.

my southwest dates are too pricey to book yet...now i will wait for an airtran or delta sale Southwest is $160 each way, that is what I usually pay for roundtrip. I know airfare is up, but I will wait until it hits around $250 to book.

 

[tinkmom2]

I am going to wait for the summer sales. I learned the hard way on our second cruise I booked too early and the airfare went on sale. I could have saved over $500. We are leaving on a Wednesday and coming back on a Thursday.

I go today to chck the Southwest flights again and the sat cheaper prices are already sold out which to me is nuts!! I guess I will keep watching. I do not know how they could sell out that quick.

 

[Mrs. roberts]

WOW! I guess I should feel lucky that we are close enough to drive!!!

It's been such a long week... anyone working on a time machine to October ?

We're close enough to drive but flying this time. I'm actually looking forward to NOT sitting in the car!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

I do not think we are doing any ADR this time. We will probably just do mostly quick service. We are just doing 2 days at Disney, one at MK and one at Animal Kingdom. Then 1 at Universal.

LOL! We're a (now retired) military family so we used to drive. We would combine going to WDW with moving to our next post. However, now that DH has joined the "real" world and has limited vacation time flying is the only option. It sure has upped the travel budget though.

I am so jealous that you have this much planning done. I really think planning is my favorite part of a vacation sometimes...Anyway, I'm still waiting on so many other things that I can't even begin to figure out ADRs yet.


Hope you all have a blessed Sunday!

Wife will fly but only non-stop. We have driven down the last 3 years, due to airfare and luggage costs for traveling with a 1, 2, and 3 year old respectively. I didn't mind the drive, until we sat on the WV turnpike for over 3.5 hours last year due to an accident that closed down the road. During that wait wife and I decided from now on we will be flying. 2.5 hours and we are there. not 14.

I am sorry for the delay. I hope all is well with everybody. This is the last week of the 30's.

We have only

more FRIDAY'S before we cruise.

 

[Kewz1]

We decided to come in a day earlier! We're arriving on the 11th now. I'm not sure if that just made things easier or harder!!

Thanks for letting me share!

It would be cool if we could all have a minnie dis meet at a on property resort before the cruise

Don't remember if I posted this already? Booked our Universal Package last week 2 nights at Holiday Inn Maingate with 1 day universal ticket. So excited to be getting in one hour early, especially since we are going to the park on a Saturday. I was surprised that booking the package really did take a lot off of the hotel price. We got 2 nights of hotel for $160 total where on thier website and others a room is going for $117 a night.

I have also been doing a lot of research of Blue Lagoon Beach Day! I thought we would stay on the ship, but I dont want to pass up beach time, especially during such a nice time of year weather wise. Anybody else doing beach day/dolphin swim?

 

[tinkmom2]

We are doing the Blue Lagoon Dolphin Encounter.

We are at Bay Lake Towers if anyone wants to jump over there.
