Originally Posted By danyoung TDLFAN may be referring to Airtran, who are offering $79 ONE-WAY rates from a lot of locations including Dallas. With all the fees it's about $92, so round trip is $184, still a great rate. And they have XM satellite radio in the seats, which is really nice.
Originally Posted By Kennesaw Tom On my recent vacation to New England to visit my family. I flew Delta up ( got a great rate ). Found the flight crew to be professional and curtious. On the flight back I flew Airtran. I was three seats behind the business class seats. I have NEVER seen this before. Once the plane landed and taxied up to the gate and we were deplaning, the business class passengers threw there trash in the isle. I literally had to walk around cups and paper napkins. I will definately think twice before EVER flying Airtran again. What slobs. I was paying full price, no discounts for me on that flight. And having to dodge trash in the isles was pathetic.
Originally Posted By Kennesaw Tom Let me point out that the flight crew on the Airtran flight were constantly going up and down the isles ( including business class ) picking up trash. There was no reason why anyone should have had trash at the end of the flight let alone throw it in the isles.

Has Disney started target marketing to you as senior yet? BTW, little-known fact, WDW used to offer senior discounts on tickets and resorts at certain times of the year.

So, in no particular order... 1. Test Track** 2. Mission Space** (kudos for the less intese, family version) 3. Reflections of Earth 4. Wishes 5. Soarin** 6. Tapestry Of Nations (please bring it back) 7. Kilaminjaro Safari 8. Expedition Everest 9. Festival Of The Lion King 10. Mickey's Philharmagic There's 10 to start with. It's good to "remember the magic"!
Originally Posted By vbdad55 Relfections of Earth / Wishes and Philharmagic also are all replacements for items that were already there. I like them and believe they are all improvements on their predecessors but want to make sure the list is complete.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros Don't forget the Aladdin ride they added over at the MK. Now that is a beauty to behold! And they didn't even have to get rid of another attraction. It's a win-win situation. : )
Originally Posted By Kennesaw Tom <<With all due respect, what do first class passenger slobs have to do with Airtran?>> I quess the only answer I can give is that I have never, and I mean NEVER experienced anything like that before on any airline I have flown. So my question is: why is this unique to AirTan?
