Hi Dis friends!! So my daughter Belle was in the hospital for 6 days...I am happy to report that we came home Friday afternoon She is doing really well..just very tired.

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes and prayers..it meant a lot.

So glad to hear that she is doing well.

I've been looking at some of the t shirt designs. I tried to make a shirt for my son for a school event, but the iron on paper I got was crap. What kind of transfer paper do you use and do you have any secrets? I would love to make some this trip.
Andrea- So glad your daughter is well, have a great time at the beach!

I buy my paper at Walmart. The secret I found is after you iron it on, let the shirt and paper cool off. I was too excited the first few times that I was pulling it off too quickly.

I stayed up 'til midnight last night (okay, I fell asleep at 10:45-ish and woke back up at 12:11!), and SouthWest did not extend the flights past 11/5. Just checked again, and the calendar still only goes out to 11/5.

C'mon, SW, I want to book my flights!!! I hope it doesn't come up when I'm on the train and I miss my window of opportunity!!

From experience SW doesn't release their new dates until about 10:30 - 11:30


We have 5 free RT tickets to use on SW. I am hoping we can use them for this trip. Long story short we were suppose to go to Universal in July and used our AMEX points to transfer into SW. I am just hoping we can get a flight out on Wed 11/10 & return flight 11/14. Boy this will be the shortest trip I have ever taken to Disney.

I am really curious to see the flight prices from Southwest!!

 

[Rootskate]

Just noticed my ticker went from 5 to 4!!

5 months....finally!!!!

Peanut1: I'm so glad to hear that your daughter is feeling better.

Our California daughter and our two grandchildren (Stella-4 and Peyton-18 months) are arriving for a visit tonight, we'll be heading down to the beach on Thursday morning for a few days!

 

[Hmom]

Peanut1 - so glad your little one is feeling better. Enjoy the beach!

Wahkomom & anyone else looking for SW flights - according to several posts on the transporation forum, SW will open the new flight schedule around 11am EST. I will be in a meeting, so I've given DH all of the information to make our reservations

If SW isn't too expensive to fly on a Thursday vs a Wed., we'll be able to add a day!!!

The best transfer paper I have found is sold by another Diser. Go to the Creative DISigns thread and click on Amy's (Non Disney) Disigns. Do to rules against selling on the boards you will have to PM her to get her website. This is by far the best transfer paper I have ever used. The transfers really hold up. She sends all the instructions you will need and they are easy. Good luck with your disigning!!!!

Waiting for SW,Too.

I'm watching fares for late Sept. trip. I only booked it last week and haven't seen good fare yet and now hoping for a good opening fare for Late Nov. trip.

Major needed--Good Luck Everyone!!!!

LOVE the AK T-shirt. I actually have one just like it. I have become addicted to making T-shirts. I have several Christmas Disigns picked out to make for our holiday trip. How about you????

Oh yes! I have a TON already in the planning! We actually just did some more mickeyhead tie dye the other day as well. We love doing these and have made more each trip!

I think it's ok for US to post Amy's site b/c we aren't her, I usually just tell people to go to Amymickey.com to get their transfers, they work SO well and last forever, I'm still washing and wearing my shirts from last year!

 

[mousescrapper]

sorry been meaning to post these for sometime now, just haven't had a chance to pop on in to post them....

reg DDP this is what I have only one we are iffy on, hence why I have it on 2 days...

Sat 11-20 CRT 11:50 am (BBB for 3 @ 8:30 MK castle too)
Sun 11-21 Cali Grill 7:45 pm (just for my inlaws)
Mon 11-22 HDDR 5:00 pm tier 2
Tues 11-23 1900 PF 8:00 am (PL for 1 @ 12:30 pm)
Wed 11-24 Tutto Italia 11:30 am
Thurs 11-25 Chef Mickey's 9:30 am & WCC 4:50 pm
Sat 11-27 Tutto Italia 11:30 am

advice on my TI ADR...so the reason I booked two is this...

orginally I wanted to book the CLP dinner package on Sat 11-27, but since you can't book this till 90 days out we decided to book two reg 1 credit TS places and then if we get the pkg we'd switch and cancel...so Tutto Italia is our choice for our Epcot TS.

However after I booked the 11-27 ADR and thought about my touring plans for this day basically go around the World and see as many of the WS Holiday story tellers as possible...the late morning ADR is right at the same time as WS opens and we'll miss lots of potential touring time...so now I made another TI ADR on Wed 11-24.

this whole thing has made me indecisive whether or not I (we) want to even to do the CLP package...I want to see the CLP but how crazy do you think it will be on the first day of these special performances? would we have better luck getting a seat using the pkg seating?

anyone know? or have seen it on the Sat after Thanksgiving?

TIA

Good morning!

Good luck to those waiting on SW flights!

 

[Caitsmama]

I keep trying to book air, but one page on SW says now open thru jan- but then when i try to book, it gives an error, so i am hoping it's b/c they are in the process of loading all the flights now??

 

[Mickey_Mom]

Hi all... it's been a WHILE for me since checking in here I promise to be much better going forward!

I just booked my SW flights and while I'm relieved to finally have that done, I'm left a teeny disappointed I didn't quite get what I was hoping for and the prices were higher than I expected.

Oh well, can't complain too much..... I'm booked!

 

[Mickey_Mom]

I keep trying to book air, but one page on SW says now open thru jan- but then when i try to book, it gives an error, so i am hoping it's b/c they are in the process of loading all the flights now??

Keep trying, it's hit and miss. Don't book from the main page, use the 'Air' tab. I got the same error message several times before and after making my booking.

 

[miprender]

Arghh... SW site must be crashing because I need to change some flights from our July trip and they are not showing up, like they never existed. Hopefully it will work out soon.

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

Hello everybody!! Hope you all get your flight infor soon!! I am still waiting on Continental...it's gonna be quite a wait! How about ya'll post pics of your t-shirts when you get them made!!!!! I am sooooo un-creative....I have to have someone hold my hand when I do stuff like that..would love to do some for the kids for the next trip...but have no idea where to even start or what to get!!!! Is there a thread link for beginners? Do you have to have a certain type of iron or what?

 

[CrazyaboutGoofy]

Glad to know it wasn't just my computer. I finally got my flight home. I was really looking for a later flight, but I'm just glad the rates weren't too high.

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Wow I'm glad I didn't wait on SW for my flights. They range from $137-$150 each way. A few years ago I could get them with SW for an average of $69 each way. I'm glad I grabbed the $79 flights with AT.

 

[RobinHoodGirl]

Just got word that my tickets for MVMCP are in (I'm going though a Travel Agent since it's my first trip and I like the idea of someone helping)

Now it just needs to be November so I can go! I'm getting tried of waiting

 

[jillyb]

I'm so glad we can drive and I don't have to worry about flights.

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

I wish we could drive and not worry about airfare!!!
