Thu 9/20/2007 12:49p | <<I thought the plan was to go THIS summer and then next christmas!!! I have contacted your local Child Welfare agency and they should be contacting you soon...>>>
OMG, As I was reading the posts and trying to catch up, I was thinking the same thing! How can she possibly make that poor dear child wait almost 2 years to get back to DL? What kind of a mother is she? ;)
yipee, give us your dates and airports, I can check for you every day b/c I already have mine purchased. (It's not as stressful as waiting 'til the last minute for the price to drop, but it feels strange not checking airfare every day, like I'm forgetting to do something.) I just checked MM's dates that were posted yesterday, only to find that she's not going anymore. (The fares were less on 12/25-12/28 than 12/23-12/26 .)

Thu 9/20/2007 12:58p | Thanks Tink - How was the Job Fair (you notice I always avoid the Admin by not using that four letter word (w**k) =D...
So we all need to call the Child Services department and get that poor girl out of that house - next thing you know we'll find out MMOM is leaving that girl with the half-wits and going on a little vaca of her own! You never know those half-wits might make that precious girl get on a bus and train just for the "fun" of it - especially since she "missed" all that family bonding on the big adventure over the summer...
Just kidding... |

Thu 9/20/2007 1:15p | We're going Dec 6-14! And unfortunately, the dates aren't really flexible because then we would lose our AP4 ressies! (which is half the reason we're going in Dec)
Thanks for the help! Just so you know, we need to leave from Calgary, Alberta. That's why the selection of awesome rates is so hard to find. Southwest has had some amazing specials, but they don't fly out of Canada! :( And to connect to Seattle or something would really shoot the price up!
I think our best bet is West Jet. I've been watching, and they will usually drop the price to about $120 or lower at some point. The question is when! Preferable before we go crazy with the waiting. It's like russian roulette...how long do we wait for the cheaper flight and risk having the flight fill up, hey?
If we had just gotten our act together earlier, and decided to go back in August, I think we missed some GREAT sales! Sigh. Story of my life...
Anyways, thanks for your help, and keep sending out those SEAT SALE vibes! (just like Homer - Donuts, donuts...:-) |

Thu 9/20/2007 1:37p | So far, the lowest fare I see is to Palm Springs at $426. Yikes, that's what I paid this summer and it was REALLY painful! (In comparison I paid $718 for 3 of us to fly on 11/28-12/4.) When you fly West Jet do you fly to LAX? (That fare was $139 out and $169 back, total $1700 for 4, that is.)
That job fair was pretty much a waste of time, Villains. I went with my cousin and we had a lot of laughs, though. We came home with a bag full of brochures that we probably won't ever look at! lol
I did get a few calls for my other job, though, so maybe things are looking up a bit...I don't need much, just enough to scrape by and get me to DL a couple of times a year. |

Thu 9/20/2007 1:39p | Oh, and West Jet was $139 each way to Palm Springs. The flight with the better time was $159. (on the way there.) Total $1691. Still too high. |

Thu 9/20/2007 4:25p | Ok, here we go.
First off, villains and tink...are you guys daft, stupid, without basic reading comprehension, or do you just not pay attention? I have said time and time again that I can only do DL EVERY OTHER YEAR. Now, since I went to DL one month ago, when will my next summer vacation there be???? The christmas trip was an extra deal, but my summer vacation schedule stays the same.
Yes, girls, I checked every stinkin' airport within a 100 mile radius of Anaheim. The best deal, actually, was by flying into San Diego. I'm still gonna wait until next christmas...then, I can have the blow-out that I deserve...I mean, that my family dererves.
I will cut villains a bit of a break today because it is her birthday, and besides being excited about the evening she has planned, she is probably suffering from the early on-set of Alzheimer's.
So, villains, you met and then married your DH within 6 months? What a ho. Seriously, that is very romantic...must have been love at first sight and fate all rolled into one. You know how I talk about DH? We've been together 9 years now, but we've never gotten married yet. Every time we try and plan something, we decide to spend the money and go to DL instead. Most of the time, we forget that we AREN'T married...until someone mentions it. I guess I'm the ho...living in sin, setting a bad example for my pre-teen daughter.
yipee....Yipee to you for getting your airfare handled! Some of us (you know who you are, tink) have been known to wait until the last minute, pay outrageous prices, and then whine about it for a month. DO have a wonderful trip, yipee.
allthingsdisney...I DO know where Kelso is. My brother used to live in Vancouver.
Well, looks like it's that time of day when I tell my boss to "bite me", and I can go home and wait for CPS to arrive. |

Thu 9/20/2007 4:29p | Hey Tink - you get there the same day I do (well, one of my trips =) ), maybe we'll have to have a drink and send MOLLYSMOM a picture...=P
Sorry the fair wasn't so fair!! I keep thinking about getting a job and then I realize no job will let me take time off on a whim to go to DL!! I have tons of clothes and stuff sitting around here I need to sell (my younger two only wore Disney Store/Land and Gap clothes up until recently - well DD still does - so I have to start selling off the outgrown stuff (or in DD case stuff I got bored with - she grows rather slowly) Well I guess that will be my goal when I get back next week!!
Mothing else from MOLLYSMOM today I hope the welfare department didn't take here in already.=)
Gotta head out for the night the Jersey Boys are calling and I gotta catch the Bart to get there!!
