Congrats on the plane tickets That's great that you only had to pay OOP for one

Congrats on booking your flight!

Booking the flights is always my favorite part! Then it's real! Here's a little happy dance for you.....

 

[SoonerGirl]

Booking the airfare always makes the trip feel so much closer and so much more real! And for free flights! My mom & I are using my DHs free flights for our trip in May too - I feel just a teansy bit bad that he does all the flying while I'm getting the benefit, but I'll get over it.

Congrats on getting your flight booked. It helps it feel real, I bet! We don't fly, but I can imagine having your flight taken care of takes a lot off your shoulders in terms of planning/worry...If we did fly though, I'd be taking advice from you-fly down early, go home late!

Hurray for plane tickets!!! It seems very real now, doesn't it?

Thanks Jackie!! It DOES seem real now!!

Congrats on booking your flight!

It sure does, Michelle!! Free flights are the BEST!

Thank you!! It makes me happy to know that I got the times I wanted as well!!

Yay! Congrats on the tickets!!!!! I would love to fly to Disney, but my DH thinks 12 hrs to drive is no big deal. Maybe one day I can talk him into it!

Thanks!! Thankfully Brent is on the same page as I am in terms of flying!! And it helps that he gets so many miles from his trips overseas!!

Congratulations on booking your flight! It does make our trip feel that much closer, doesn't it?
We booked our flight this week too and apparently we will be flying to Orlando at the same time. We are booked to leave Montreal at 8 am and arrive at MCO at 11h20.

We might even be able to bump at each other at the ME counter. Who knows....

Have a great week!

Congrats on booking the flights, Becky!! It's really getting sooo close! I know you'd never use the same woman as last year for customs, but do you think you're going to purchase new customs for the girls for this trip?? They looked beyond adorable in your pics!

Thanks Kylie!! It IS getting close!! We are soo excited!! I'm either going to have a friend of mine do some or look on Etsy--or both!! Guess I need to start looking, huh?! I'm hoping some of Ally's still fit her!!

 

[BippityBoo]

HEY BECKY!! Hope you guys are having a better day today

I am having some friends check into the schedule for me. They are taking the class this semester that I will be taking in the Fall, so they were going to ask the teacher for me. So, there may be hope I really would like to go the week after Thanksgiving just b/c it will be my little Aiden's birthday and wont be too close to Christmas. I hear it is the slowest holiday time so..fingers crossed!!

I am so jealous that Brent flies so much!!! I know you miss him when he is gone, but look how awesome frequent miles are!!! So happy for you. I can not wait to read about your trip!

Also, when are you going to post about customs? I dont know if you get the Ragsland catalog, but I thought of you and the girls when I saw an outfit. Cute red and white polka dot shorts with an appiqued initial tshirt. I will send it your way.

Thank you!! I did not make the dress that my DD has on, rather I purchased it on Ebay two years ago when she was 4 months old for her 1st trip to Disney. She is now 2 1/2 and wears it as a shirt with leggings. I definitly got my monies worth! I wish I knew how to sew such beautiful things! For our upcoming trip in February, I've found many wonderful hand made clothes and items on etsy including personalized disney shirts, iron-on disney patches and hairbows!!! I'll be posting a trip report when we get back and will be sure to share pictures of my princess in her Disney attire!!!!

I etsy! I buy so much on there. What did I ever do without it?

I was going to suggest that you start a PTR, but I noticed you leave in a little more than a week! A little too late to start a PTR, but just early enough to start a TR!

Have a great time, and I can't wait to hear about your trip!

Hi Becky! I know you used the VB hipster during your last trip to WDW....but was it the regular hipster, or the mini? How did you find it to hold all your stuff? We will still use our double jogging stroller when we go down in August, so I do have room in the bottom basket for our water bottles and juice boxes. But the past two or three trips I also carried a VB backpack and while I loved it, it was a little bit of a pain to always take on and off to sit on rides. I am thinking of going with a smaller bag like the hipster, but I'm not sure if it will hold enough. Did you carry your camera with you in your hipster?

I am loving all the new VB patterns...."Loves Me" especially!

I know you asked this to Becky, but I wanted to weigh in. I carried my Cafe Latte Mini Hipster all through the parks, and I think it's the ideal size. I didn't carry my small point and shoot Canon in it, though. I had a matching Cafe Latte tech case that I put the camera in, and I would sometimes carry it alone to have it in my hand in a hurry, or I would use the little clip on the tech case to clip it to the strap on my mini-hipster when I knew I wasn't going to need it for a while (in restaurants, on the buses, on the rides, etc). I like the hipster for everyday carrying, and the mini hipster for things like park touring and day trips.

Thank you! I absolutely love that pic of her! And I started my PTR!http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2376856

Yay! I'm going to start reading your PTR today! Becky has introduced to me all sorts of new PTRs and TRs!

YAY!! Our flight is booked for our May trip!! We were waiting until Brent got home from India to book so we could use the miles. We were able to get 3 tickets with the miles and had to pay OOP for the 4th. We chose the same flight as last year--the one leaving the earliest going and leaving the latest coming back (to maximize our Disney time )!!

Yay for flights! I can't wait to book ours. I sure wish we had miles to use! I do some online surveys through a website that offer airline points as rewards, and I'm hoping to earn at least one free ticket. That way, we will still be paying what we paid last time, even though we are now having to pay for a seat for Caroline.

Here is the catalog.

Ooh! Cute clothes! I've never heard of RagsLand. Is that a store? A catalog? A direct sales company? I am a Kelly's Kids rep, and the clothes look similar.

 

[leamom2princesses]

Glad you got your flights booked Becky! As it stands, we're going to arrive at 11:20 so maybe we'll see you in line for ME. We will be coming back at 6:30. Super excited about that as last year the latest flight was 5 ish.

 

[SOUTHERNtinkerBELLE]

Yay for booking your flights! And that's awesome that you got to use all of those miles! More money to spend at Disney, right?

 

[mousescrapper]

don't you love that feeling of checking off another thing! I can't wait till we can book...trying to wait patiently till summer when SouthWest should annouce their late Nov. flights...

great to be able to use those FFM...we only travel by air once a yr for the most part...so it will be a scary 6 seats OOP

can't wait till you decide and post on the end of the yr trip's dates

J~

Hey Katie!!! I'm having a much better day, thanks!! I woke up feeling so much better and Claire is no longer running a fever!!

So there's some hope, I hope?!?! I pray it can work out!

I'm not sure yet about customs--I need to start looking!! I do have a friend that sews really cute things--I might have her do some! And I'm going to look on Etsy as well.

Here is the catalog.

VERY cute, Katie!!!!

Thank you for that valuable info, Andrea!! I think I need to check out the mini-hipsters!!

Yay! I'm going to start reading your PTR today! Becky has introduced to me all sorts of new PTRs and TRs!

Glad I can be of help!!!

Thanks!! We are very excited!! Ooh--that sounds like a great thing! You can beat a free ticket!!

Ooh! Cute clothes! I've never heard of RagsLand. Is that a store? A catalog? A direct sales company? I am a Kelly's Kids rep, and the clothes look similar.

It's kind of the same thing as Kelly's Kids. There are reps that sell the clothes. They get a trunk of the clothes and then have parties to sell them!!

Glad you got your flights booked Becky! As it stands, we're going to arrive at 11:20 so maybe we'll see you in line for ME. We will be coming back at 6:30. Super excited about that as last year the latest flight was 5 ish.

Thanks Leanne!! Oooh--we might run into each other at the ME!!! Oooh--a 6:30 flight--NICE!! I wish Memphis offered later flights!
