Morning All !! I miss Buzz tooo wouldn'the have loved all thi s!!!

 

[punkin413]

just came by to check in and the first thing i see is something about holding up your underwear in front of snow white.

i wonder how much a princess earns in a day? it can't be enough!!! and i wonder if she gets overtime or extra pay for having to deal with grown men's underwear???

 

[pipersmom]

I'm thinking about doing black friday this year as well, just because dd will be at her Dad's and I wouldn't have to take her with me! Will have to wait and see what deals are out. Jordan..I would stick with the online shopping if you can!

 

[brookelizabeth]

I love Black Friday! I'm not one that gets up early and camps out or anything, but I love the excitement and craziness in the stores. It's fun to just go and see what we can snag, people watch, and go out to lunch.

No Chonie showing in the parks...I want to return to WDW again and not get banned for life.....but maybe, just maybe......well........you'll just have to wait for the TR.

And just the thought of holding undergarments up in front of Snow White.... Poor thing! Can you imagine her reaction? All prim and proper, yet completely freaked?!

eh, she's used to it. she washes the undergarments of 7 little men. what's one more peep to her???


you all talking about black friday just stresses me out!!! i stay as far away from malls on that day as i possibly can. in fact, i don't set foot in a mall between thanksgiving and christmas. it's a hard and fast rule i've stuck by for 7 years now. in 2002 i made that mistake ONCE and it took me 90 MINUTES to get from one side of the mall to the other in a car. the girl i was with was breastfeeding at the time and we had to trade places so i could drive and she could feed her baby!!! now THAT'S ridiculous!!! plus people are just mean at christmas...it's sad but true. and i can't deal with that. i'd kill someone. i have about 3 gifts left to buy and i'm D.O.N.E.!!!! but you all have fun fighting the crazy shoppers on black friday!

I think Snow White would love a peak at your boxers. She enjoys a show from time to time.

Who said I was Xmas shopping? I'm trip shopping for deals. In some cases, you can get better deals on line and they actually have the selection you want instead of digging through mounds of merchandise.

She was so shocked she turned plastic.

I'm with you - I don't mind the crowds inside, actually, but parking is a nightmare at the malls here when it's NOT the holidays. And I refuse to valet park at the stupid mall!

OMG, this is too funny! what is he doing to poor snow white?

Chapter 49. Airfare roulette part deux

Let's just say I am officially happy that I got my airline tix when I did. As you recall I purchased my Southwest tickets for approximately 225. Since then it has been nowhere near that low and certainly never below 300 on Southwest or any other airline.

Kim purchased her tickets out of Newark for 225.

Wendy, on the other hand, has held out hope that the tickets would drop at some point below 400 and preferably to about 310-325. In September, there were tix in the mid to high 300's; now it's more like 450-500 for desirable times and flights. Tuesdays are usually a good day to buy as they normally drop prices. Today they didn't drop that much and the Delta flights that are most desirable are still pricing at 502 R/T. Her preference would be to red-eye over night Friday, Feb 5th and arrive Saturday, Feb 6th at 6am-ish so she has a whole day at the parks.

I did look into flights leaving on Saturday the 6th and found R/T tix for 388 on American. However she loses pretty much the whole day on Saturday. Then on her return flight, the flight leaves at 12:30pm instead of her preferred departure of 7pm. So she also loses a half day that Sunday. Is an extra day and a half worth the extra 600 dollars she'll have to pay in airfare?

I'm try to reach her right now to see.....

Another option discussed last night with Wendy. If she stays an extra 2 days and leave Tuesday rather than Sunday, the flights go down to 307 R/T That would mean ponying up for a hotel for 2 extra nights. Paying OOP probably wouldn't be worth it. Although, Wendy probably wouldn't mind staying an extra 2 nights and Erin would only miss 1 extra day of school since it's over President's Weekend.

Here's the kicker. Wendy and Derek and Starwood Owners...They have a ton of points that could be used at the Swan/Dolphin. So no extra money would be spent on those extra days other than food. Adding 1-2 extra days on the tix are minimal....The call is out to Derek right now to see if it's a go or no go.......

To recap the options are:
Red eye on the 5th-Return evening of the 14th: 502.00

Day of the 6th-Return early afternoon of the 14th: 388.00

Day of the 6th-Evening of the 16th: 307.00 but 2 extra days..

Decisions. Decisions.

80 days

In honor of reaching 80 days until the trip....

Happy 80 Days!!! 50's Prime Time Pot Roast, cute French waiters, Belle, and Matt -- pretty good round-up for the picture post!

It sounds like I have to avoid Black Friday at all costs. Not really familiar with it as I used to always work on that day...

I don't wanna know

See you started it all!

Thanks Jackie. I thought the women of the DIS would appreciate Oliver as much as Kim did....

 

[DisMomAmy]

I vote for 2 extra days!!

Happy 80 days!

We'll see. I think that's Wendy's preference. Save on airfare and get 2 extra days at WDW

Can you say....

"No brainer?"



I'd love some of that pot roast right now!

 

[vamassey1]

I vote for 2 extra days too, but it's for purely selfish reasons. If they stay I might get to meet them too!

 

[eliz991]

A couple of months ago when I started looking at this trip, we had planned to stay at the Swolphin because I get government rates. Not only did they not have any government rate rooms, they didn't have ANY rooms for one of the nights (although honestly I can't remember if it was president's weekend that was the problem or the other weekend. I think it was the 13th though.) So, they may not be able to use their points.

I hate airfare roulette - luckily both times I have gotten tickets for $198 to Orlando. On the other hand, I can never find anything cheap to Vegas and Tony's having no luck getting to NY for Christmas.
