Something About Nothing.......#4

Greedy. Your turn is next month.

Screen names don't count. Just because you are "Mother" fletcher, it doesn't mean you get gifts. You have to grow a uterus and give birth before you get gifts. Good luck with that.

WOW what a differance it is when you buy your airline tickets a few months early,
Not only is flight we are on in july is almost sold out but the price I paid for 4 tickets was $1360.00 and now the same tickets are over $2400.00
Glad I got them when I did and only now if they would quit changing the time we come home

Hi all-

Just to let you homies know that my DH will have cataract surgery on his left eye on Thurs.
He went for a consultation appt. last Fri. with the eye surgeon.
Today he went for a consult appt. with a retinal specialist, they had to check DH's eyes to make sure he wasn't at risk for a retinal detachment. So far it doesn't look like he would be at surgical risk for that, thank goodness
Prayers and good thoughts appreciated for Thurs. THanks homies!


Trip planning:
On a different subject, I have last-minute questions on UO/WDW passes, etc.
I haven't bought any passes yet.
Does anyone know about the Magic Your Way passes? We are looking at the basic Magic Your Way passes without upgrades. Is it better to buy them at the AAA Travel store w/ an agent, or at the Disney Store at a mall by me, or at the resort we are staying at (All Star Sports resort)? I never had to buy
WDW passes before,as last time we went to WDW was with Make-A-Wish and they had everything for us and paid for everything.
Any advice appreciated!

Also about the Disney Dining Plan- do you guys think it's best for us to go buy the DDP for 3 days? I never had to look into this either. I haven't even made ressies yet with any restaurants as I'm planning this trip so last minute. and I don't seem to have the time to look up all the boards,etc here on the DIS. Any advice appreciated. THanks so much!

Usually, Disney gives the best offer for tickets. Other places may *sound* like they have good rates but there is usually something included that you don't really need/want. Bottom line: see what the prices are through Disney online and compare apples to apples from there.

If you are sure you will be doing at least one table service meal anyway, the dining plan can save you money. If you don't want to take time away from touring the parks and you only eat counter service, the DDP probably won't save you much.
When are you going?

I had the same thing happen to me. when i went to go buy my friend chip's plane tix for the same times I'm going, it went from like $253 to $397. Luckily, i found some ok prices for his ticket.....he just has to leave at 6:35am! I'm thinking of changing mine to that time so I don't have to wait around at the airport (since I insist on only taking one car). Anyone happen to know how much they charge to do that?

I would call them cause I know if I wanted to change ours to come back ealier in July they wanted to charge a extra $200.00 a ticket and I told delta the time was fine for me only coming home is not a nonstop like it was suppose to be.
Plus we wanted to be able to spend a few hours in the park before we leave to come home and the time they had was 1:00 pm and we decided to keep the 6:00 pm

Yea. If I did mine it would only be $145, AA told me. Oh well. I'm thinking of getting a one day pass to the Admiral's Club so I can at least relax a bit b4 my flight.

all airlines charge per ticket for any changes made after the purchase.
the only time they don't charge is when they cancel your flight and switch you to another flight.

for united it is a $150 charge per ticket for a change.
for american it was $100, it might have gone up as united increased theirs on saturday.

even air tran charges for flight changes.


it would be cheaper to keep your flight andy then change the time for it.

are we changing jobs???

evening flights are better



don't get me started on air..............i made my ressie at the beginning of the year for the october trip. yes, i got a cheaper rate than what it is going for now but that is not the headache.

i checked united this morning to see how much i am saving since i already booked my flight months ago.

i had a flagged message on my itenary locator and it said "flight change, call united"


i ALWAYS take a night flight home in order to extend my vacation with that last full day in the park until 6:30 pm.........

i saw my flight was changed to a 5:00 pm departure........

i called and ranted and raved at the service department.
they told me they pulled my flight out of service. they reassigned me to an earlier flight. and, they said, no charge to you ms. w., since we changed it you don't have to pay for the change.

then i yelled....................

to get me calmed down, they are sending me a $50 voucher for a future flight. i told them that was not enough and i wanted to cancel for a flight with american. i don't care that ticket w/ american is not up to close to $500, it is the times of flights that matter to me.


readers digest version: i kept the united flight, they have me on a list for special seating on return flight at 5:00 pm and on another list to switch me to the original flight if they put it back in service in october.


i originally had seats in the front of the plan, aisle seat as i booked so early.
i have the flight for the morning i leave to orlando the same but the seat i am reassigned to is the last seat in the back row of the plane coming back home.


they just want to fill the planes up.
i'm hoping mummy dust for my flight to be put back into service.

 

[Metro West]

are we changing jobs???

I might be...hopefully soon. As you know, we are going tobacco free at work on July 1 and today we got some other news. Not only are we not allowed to smoke at work during working hours (which I don't have a problem with) now the administration has taken the stand that if someone...anyone smells smoke on your clothes, you can get reported and ultimately fired. I'm wondering who's going to be policing the non-smoking nazis (my new name for administration). I feel they DO have the right to tell me what I can and can't do on property during working hours but they DO NOT have the right to tell me I can't smoke on my way into work OFF property. So...it's just best for me to try and find something else away from that place. If they want to play God with people's personal lives, I'll have no part of it.

I totally agree! Is it just me, or is this country more and more slipping into the world of Orwell's 1984? Since when do company's get to tell us what to do when we're not at work? I mean, when you're government wants to keep tabs on what you're searching for on Yahoo or Google, then i think there's something seriously wrong with you're government. Don't even get me started on the dictator and his phone taps. Thank god there's only a few more months til we're rid of him. Sorry mac, I know, no political discussions. Couldn't help myself.

think of the lawsuits if that would happen.

they can call the shots on their property but that's it.

what you do on your free time at home and to work, is no ones business.
