Am I the only one scared about flying with southwest? We’ve never flown with them before and booked our first flight for October but I’m a little worried now.

I recently started flying Southwest but honestly I am nervous flying period. There is always the what if involved. This morning I got a news alert of a flight from Memphis having a bird strike and another emergency landing from a Southwest plane. Things like this happen to planes all the time but you just don't hear about them unless the airline is in the news for other bad things or if it ends in tragedy. I will continue to fly Southwest as long as they continue to offer good deals. Southwest actually is getting a lot of new planes and are actually getting rid of there older planes but we have to remember there is thousands of flights everyday and things are bound to happen. We just hope we aren't at the wrong place at the wrong time with everything in life and continue to live our life.

We'll be there that night too. Find Jiminy Cricket and wave to him/ me! So happy to share that night with you and 10,000 of our closest friends!

I tell dh that about every day but he has a good job so we can’t pick up and move right now. I grew up in Georgia so I love the heat.

I live in Georgia and while I can't say I love the heat, I do enjoy being close enough to Disney that I can plan a short weekend trip just to take my boys to the MNSSHP for the first time. I am also used to the afternoon rain/storms so I am not going to worry about that till we are heading down.

Does Disney really only sell 10,000 party tickets for each party?

They sell way more than that...most estimates are in the 20,000 to 30,000 range

My parents took my brother and I when we were younger and we drove from Georgia to Florida. It would just be nice if we had that option.

Sooooo ready! Got my tickets for the 9/9 party yesterday.

I’ve had a Hocus Pocus poster in my room since I was 4, so I can’t wait to see the Spelltacular!

Now if they would just open up the ADR’s past 2:30! I want to eat at the Plaza at 5ish, dagnabbit!

Plaza is very strange about reservations. A lot of the time they are only available around lunch and are walk-up only the rest of the time. That may be the issue.

 

[RolloTomasi]

Got my tickets for the 9/25 party! We too are looking to eat at Plaza before the party starts, so hopefully we'll be able to get a walk up.

We used to fly to WDW all the time, then started roadtripping most of our recent trips (live in Iowa). This August I decided to fly for our "quick" trip, and of course the flight home is thru Allegiant, who were just featured on 60 minutes.
I've been researching since Sunday and then this happened with SW.
I've flown Allegiant before, and my DD23 just did last October without issue.
I think pp has a great point, all this negative attention will have them inspecting thoroughly!

AND, just saw above me, from Iowa too.

I’m also from Iowa! Lovely weather we’re having

It's days like these that I am asking why don't I live closer to WDW? I tell DH, it doesn't have to be Florida, just closer, and away from this never-ending winter weather...

Hello fellow Iowans! I'm so sick of this weather, it's not even funny! I ask my fiancé all the time if we can move to Florida. He keeps telling me no

You know it’s bad when the library closes lol. I was hoping to get more books today

We had a 4:00 ADR at the Plaza last year before the party, and I think that was the latest ADR time of the day.

Kingdom Keepers - AWESOME books IMO! Stories take place in WDW too!

Anyone else looking to book a Pirates League appointment just prior to MNSSHP (within the 4-7pm window)? Appointments haven't opened up yet for September MNSSHP dates, and the cast member I spoke with suggested calling back in June to check to see if they had opened up those times for party goers. If others are looking to book Pirates League right before a party, perhaps we can post here as an alert that pre-party appointments are open? I can't imagine having to call everyday starting in June, and I'm sure those times will fill quickly.

I love those books! They make me see the parks differently

Plaza is very strange about reservations. A lot of the time they are only available around lunch and are walk-up only the rest of the time. That may be the issue.

None of the during-party ADRs have opened up yet, and some spots like CP aren't even showing dinner as an option at all on party nights, the latest it goes is 2:45pm. Makes me suspect there are plans for some kind of holiday dinner offering to tie into the party. Waiting is definitely getting frustrating, though.

Most have opened for reservations up to about 6 pm or so. BoG already opened and is gone, Skipper Canteen opened (I've got a reservation at 4:30 pm on a party night); Tony's Town Square and Liberty Tree Tavern are also open.

I do find it odd that CP and CRT have no ADRs after 2:30ish, but the other places have opened. I have an ADR for BOG for 5.
It would be fun if they are offering new themed dining for the party, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is something as simple as not opening these spots to help empty the park...
I keep hoping they'll offer a villain party. My DD16 and I were lucky enough to see Club Villain at HS, fantastic!
Here's to hoping!!

Yes, that's what I said. None of the *during-party* ADRs have opened up yet at most spots. Dinner seems to end at 6pm-ish for most of those, and that's earlier than we'd prefer. (Not doing characters, just parade/shows/fireworks, and it's just DH and I so limited time will be spent on the treat trails)

CP is what we've really been looking for, and there's no dinner service at all on party nights thus far. I'm waiting to see if they announce a Halloween-themed dinner there, similar to H&V at DHS. An upcharge dinner wouldn't surprise me.
