Pre-Trip Flights are on sale, hotels are on sale....

Um...
Hi!
I have reached @Tuvalu status I think and last minute booked a trip. Yes, I am going in November.....BUT how does one pass down an amazing Southwest sale and AP hotel sale?!

Let's get down to business! (to defeat the Huns)

Who?
My Mom (Mary) and I (Megan)
PhotoPass_Visiting_Epcot_7682022135(1).jpg


When?
September 3-5 - quick trip!

Why?
I am so sad MSEP is leaving and I HAD to see it one more time. When I realized I was off Labor Day weekend I looked at flights. Southwest happened to have an amazing $64 flight sale. Then looked at the Disney website and saw that they have an amazing AP discount so....a trip was formed! Took my Mom some convincing, but I knew she would come around!

Where?
The Boardwalk! Was the cheapest of the hotels so I grabbed it! Never stayed there before or truly had a desire to but I am up to try anything new!

Well, I have a problem with being addicted to Disney and thats that :)

Excited that you will get to see MSEP one last time!
In response to what you asked @blgauger, I live in Cincinnati and we started school August 17. Lots of places hold out until right after Labor Day and even the schools who start early get Labor Day off. I'm thinking crowds will be big but not unbearable.
Wish I could join you! The other day I told my husband my retirement goal is to be a Disney AP holder and possibly DVC member. Then I will be able to join the ranks of you and @Tuvalu.
Have a great trip. Can't wait to read the TR!

Sounds like a great getaway! Wish I could convince my wife to make multiple WDW trips per year. We have compromised on once every two years. I'm hoping that when our daughter gets older (she is 14 months now), she will be on my side and we will outvote my wife 2-1 for many WDW trips! :)

Haha start her young so you can get her to the "dark" Disney side. My whole family wasn't nearly as into Disney as I am until I started planning trips semi-catering to their likes and showed them all the cool things to do :)

Also, because I always get sucked into Disney extras I booked my Mom and I the VIP MSEP Dining Package at Tony's Town Square. Its at lunch time and my Mom really likes it there so I am willing to go back! I may try the steak...has anyone had that before?

Can not believe we are going next week !

Nice! I too am taking advantage of SW's awesome fares and headed down in November! $127 RT out of Chicago is awesome! That's how it used to be but recently it's been around $300. Can't pass that up!

That is so sweet that you make your own decorative envelopes for Mousekeeping stafff. I'm sure that brings a smile to their faces. A few other people on the forums have decorated envelopes as well.

Last trip a DME driver was so excited when we gave him his envelope :) I love doing something special for them, and I love a good craft!

So exciting! I wish Southwest ran flights that low out of Memphis :(. I'd take a lot more weekend trips! I'm excited to hear your thoughts on the Boardwalk. We're staying there for two nights in October. Love the idea of being able to walk to Epcot!

Southwest is so odd right now! Sometimes I look and prices are so low and other times there are in the 400s haha. I will def let you know about the Boardwalk

Congratulations in getting one more trip in! Our AP's expire at the end of November and I'm trying to get one more trip in before they do. However, I'm having a hard time finding a room. Unless I choose a 2-bedroom, club level suite at the Grand Floridian for $1,981.80 per night (I wish!)

Yeah, I keep playing with different dates. I will keep looking, but man, sometimes Disney makes it so hard to spend money!!

Are you doing the Halloween party this trip?
