Singles who are for the "Love of Disney" - Part 3

[PirateMel]

You know I have never really been too impressed with SW, it was always the cheap prices and they are the only direct from Providence to MCO so I always use them

Also the prices tend to be on the high point when they are first released. I always just watch them and book when the flight goes down (or book whenever and then adjust when the price goes down so I always have a credit )

I love SW - not a cheap as Delta express was - but if you watch for the Dings you can get some really good deals. Used to be able to get a NS flight for less than $150 rt. The staff are sooooo friendly and with the change in bording - I have had no issues. (Knock on wood)

Agree Carrieannew - haven't heard or seen from either you or Mason, like old home week on chat!!!

I am always "around" just do not post as much. But now that the drama has seemed to die for the moment I am around more.

You never know I might just show up the end of Jan at the world. Trying to see if I can make it happen before my AP expires.

As I sit here in my room at Pop Century, I realize just how much I miss the Adventurer's Club.

I even walked by it today on PI, and saw that the stand outside where they used to sell alcoholic drinks (including Kungalooshes) is now just selling bottled sodas, popcorn, and Mickey bars.... sooooo disappointing.

Hey Kevin

I feel your pain. I do not think I can even walk by. I closed the book on that chapter back over labor day and the memories are still raw. Its very sad.

True- I do like the new boarding system MUCH better. And the staff is very friendly- guess I can't complaine too much...........

What's their new boarding system? I only flew SW once and that was about 2 years ago.

When you get your boarding pass there is a number on it. That is where you stand in line for A,B C - no more lining up two hours early to get a good seat.

It keeps the fights down to a minimum

 

[Ilivetogo]

OH! We did that. However, we just snuck on early with the kids when the children boarded. It keeps the kids with the parents. It made the ABC thing a moot point for us.

Until you board a plane that is defective.. and have to get off the plane in another city and then someone steals your seat...

Yeah that was me in May.. jerks

And even if you dont have access to a printer still check in online so you can get good seats...I learned that the hard way the last time I used SW to go to WDW....Check in online as soon as time allows you to....

Oh my, and our sweet Carrie said nothing??? (see, I told you Randy she gets her sweetness from me... )

Hell no the lady looked like she could kick my butt ...

Her husband was like thats not your seat.. and she was looking right at me and goes its ok just sit down.

In my younger years I would have let that slide but I think I would have ever so sweetly said excuse me but I think you're in my seat, and I betcha she would have moved..... and if she didnt then knowing me I might have sat on her lap.... (no, not really I would have given her the look and her butt would have moved )

I never understood the lining up so early. I never cared where I was sitting, so I never bothered. The new system in easier. I like assigned seating, I can wait until everyone is boarded and then get on. I would rather sit in the waiting area than in a crowded plane.

I like being on the plane first and strategically sitting by a window and NOT in front of a kid to be kicked for three hours.

oh well...too late to do anything about it now I booked the US Airways flights and unless someone dies or I lose my job there is no getting out of those flights.

I have to say though, direct flights with assigned seats makes things a little less stressful since I am traveling with my daughter. In addition I won't have to worry about checking in exactly 24 hours before my departing flight to get A boarding passes.

See I'm weird, I like as much control over where I sit as possible. So as soon as that 24 hour mark hits I am on the computer checking in. I did that in Vegas to Joe and Rob, "I have to get back to the room by exactly x-time so I can check in!".

I never understood that. I have a child...and I watch her on the plane, in movie theaters, etc...and I tell her no seat kicking...and I watch her to make sure she isn't kicking seats. And if she does kick the seat we apologize and I tell her again no seat kicking cause the person if front of you can feel it and it does not feel good. It's not that hard...if you are paying attention to your kids I guess.

I remember we flew to Chicago when she was 4. This was my first time flying with her. I had a bag of new toys and activities for the plane, we talked about plane behavior before we left, etc. Everytime she started to get a little bored out came a new book, toy, activity. I even remember the flight attendant commenting how well behaved she was (not bragging ). It's not that hard, but you do have to be on top of things.

Okay... just checked Amy's thread with the list of who is going etc, and is Timmy there through the weekend?? I see (or know that) Carrie (POP), Teresa (POP), Angy(POP), Mel (POP), Cait (OKW) and myself (OKW)... I know Rebecca is there.. who am I missing out of the gang?? (and Kevin). Please make corrections for me too!

OK, but if you are on first how do you know the kid with the active legs will not wind up sitting behind you?
