The pre-trippie lives!--The trip report has started!

OKAY....so this is where all the cool kids are hangin' these days. Why did I not know about this? I must be such a total Space Cadet ....can I still come and play or am I standing in the corner with a dunces HAT on?

BTW as I said to you over at Jenny's PTR love, love, love CSR if you have any questions I could try to answer them (though it was over seven years ago that we stayed there). Your meal choices look great , have you thought about Cape May Cafe for breakfast, we did it by chance (last min ADR made by DH) and it was excellent.

I used to work for BA and all our aircraft had skycots as do all the other airlines. It may just be a european thing but you could try asking for the bulkhead bassinett, it they have them they priority should be given to people with infants.

SW does issue refunds for the difference. I had a friend who used to fly SW all of the time and change her flights frequently and I believe without penalty.

Good to know! SW will be hearing from me, for sure!

Kirsteen! Come over any time!

Hadn't heard about breakfast at Cape May--I'll have to look into it! I'm pretty excited about CSR. It will be a whole new experience for us!

I will be looking into that as well! You're a great source of info!

You said it, I did it! The flights have been booked, and we're all official now!

A question for the moms:
When you've flown with a baby, do you just hold him/her, or do you get a seat and put a carseat in it?

We flew to Fuerterventura (4.5 hours) with Jess when she was 14 months and we held her, they gave us a special child seatbelt that attached to the adult one. I think it's only the large planes that have skycots

Where is Fuerterventura?
You non-U.S. gals sound very sophisticated with the places that you've flown to-- Indianapolis and Denver just don't have the same exotic ring as Majorca, Hong Kong, and Fuerterventura!

Not sure if I spelt it quite right but it's off the coast of Africa near Tenerife Living here we are lucky that it's easy to visit lots of other countries, some of the ones I've been to are..... France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Andorra, Spain, Monaco, Italy, Bulgaria, Finland (Lapland), Holland, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Menorca, Maldives, Dominican Republic, St Lucia, USA, Scotland, Wales I'm sure there are a few more I've missed!

That's so cool--have your girls been able to go on many of these trips?
I've been outside the U.S. a little, but I'd like to see more. My problem is, I keep planning trips to WDW instead!

Most of them were before kids or when I was little. The girls have been to.... Menorca, Finland (Lapland which was fantastic) St Lucia, Florida, Scotland, Spain and Jess went to Fuerteventura she also went to Germany with the school. We really should take them to Europe more especially as we can be in France i about an hour but we save all our $ for WDW

That's what's cool about Europe--you're so close to all of these different countries. But then again, if I drove all day I could get to Canada (I think), and yet I've never done it. It's neat that your girls have traveled so much--I would love to be able to take lots of places.

But why go to one country when you can go to WDW and see them all at the World Showcase?

Oh my hell, you have traveled a lot! I stand by the fact that I should have married more wealthy or in fact, chosen a more lucrative career. I have always wanted to visit Spain and Italy.

Maybe we should scrap Vegas and take a European Tour!

 

[Bev1016]

Well, the poll is closed and we have a winner! I will call in the next day or two and change the ressies to 'Ohana!

Thanks to the nine of you who voted!

I think you'll be very happy with your choice! Jenna and I are trying to make that our first night tradition!!!!

Sounds good (and cheaper ) to me

Fantastic, hope you get it

 

[2ScottishPrincesses]

Now that would also be a very cool options....just make sure that it's somewhere hot and the drinks flowing

 

[Goofyluver]

You can CLOSE polls???

Not like some people. Who leave theirs open FOREVER!!!

*cough*cough*Jenny*cough*

I think it will be nice. I love the Poly. I'm going to check and see if they can do anything special for the anniversary.

Sounds good (and cheaper ) to me

We could camp at your house!

It's a tour, so we'll go everywhere!

Ok, I don't want to get too excited, but . . .

They're offering FREE DINING to Disney Visa holders!

And guess who happens to have a Disney Visa?

So I called WDW Reservations, and the offer was released one day early, so the CMs can't talk about it yet. I have to call back tomorrow and get all of the details.

The only possible complication is that the promo starts on the 14th and we come in on the 13th. But the CM said something about booking a room-only ressie for the first night and then getting the package for the rest of the time.

We'll see what happens tomorrow, I guess. Cross your fingers, everyone!

 

[Goofyluver]

Free DINING???

 

[rentayenta]

Told ya it was meant to be!!!!!

 

[Bev1016]

Free DINING???

Yep-- I hope!

Told ya it was meant to be!!!!!

Woohoo!

The only problem now is that while I was off polling everyone, all of the restaurants booked up! So, there's nothing at 'Ohana until 9:35, and Boma ADRs are only available after 7:20-- we're early eaters, so those won't really work.

I guess we're headed to Whispering Canyon! (Although I'll keep calling back to see if there are any 'Ohana ressies.)
