The No-Way-I'm-Going-Solo-This-Time Solo Trip, a Sept PTR *Home & TR Link 9/15 x2*

[PhoenixStrength]

MINI TRIP UPDATE:

I am completely booked for my trip!!! My resort package, airline tickets and tours are all booked and completely paid for. I will start posting the plans for the trip soon, but I wanted to post about my airline tickets, as I am so happy about them. I decided on a whim to see if I could pay for one direction with my Rapid Rewards points through Southwest. Not only could I pay for one, but both flights were covered! So I got a free round-trip flight! Well, almost free. I had to pay the $5 September 11th federal fee since you can't use miles for that, but I don't mind paying $5 for a round-trip flight, at all.

Be back soon to start posting my plans!

[KatMark]

for the trip being paid for. And free airline tickets...you can't beat that!

 

[afwdwfan]

Yeah... definitely can't beat a $5 round trip flight. And you were actually considering not going?????


I look forward to seeing your plans. Especially which tours you chose.

I will also be doing AK/MNSSHP on the 13th! More details on what exactly I have planned for those when I start the day updates

So happy!

Well, if I had known beforehand that I was going to get a $5 round-trip flight I wouldn't have had to consider it at all, that's for sure!

I will start day plans soon, maybe tomorrow even.

Wow, congrats on having everything booked and paid for! And what an amazing deal on flights! We also fly Southwest fairly frequently, so I'm hoping that one of these trips soon I'll have enough points to get a free flight

Thanks! It only took just under 11,500 points total to get the 2 free flights on Wanna Get Away price. I expected it to cost so many more than that.

I think we will have free flights soon... For 3 of us. Olive has to give up her lap riding glory now... How many flights did it take for you to get the points?

Not 100% sure, but I think 5 round trip flights, all between MD and FL and all Wanna Get Away prices that I bought, so I got less RR points for them since they were cheap flights.

Help request from those familiar with the World Showcase TS Restaurants: I currently have a dinner ADR for Via Napoli on my Epcot day. While I am sure I will like it, I do have Mama Melrose a couple days later and want to have different tastes. Cancelling MM is out of the question since its a Fantasmic package. The only WS TS I've eaten at before is Biergarten 5 years ago. When I looked earlier almost every TS still had availability but I'm not sure where to switch to. I'm a bit picky, but not too much so. I've never eaten anywhere where I couldn't find something I liked. Any recommendations???​

Well, I think you told me you already had Coral Reef. We really enjoy Rose & Crown and will be eating there next month. I don't eat Mexican, but I hear it is pretty darn good. We also love Chefs De France and will be eating there next month too (the french onion soup and ham/cheese sandwich is very, very good).

Rose and Crown would be my recommendation, love that restaurant!
