I change planes in Phoenix and Las Vegas often and if you booked your flight from BUR or LAX (or whatever) to MCO, Southwest only gives you choices that works. Plus, in CASE something goes wrong, they are really great about holding the plane and/or re-booking on the next flight out. I heart Southwest.

Originally Posted By StitchMom84 We usually take the boat to DTD..if there's EMH at the MK, we like to get there just at dusk and walk down Main Street..usually don't go back into the park very far, just kind of do a brief stroll and grab a treat from the candy shop or just do a quick browse of some shops. Just enough of a "tease" until we can get back for our first full day. Hey, vbdad55, was kind of hoping for a trip report. Did I miss it somewhere?

The ticket price dosen't really make a real difference after 7 days but if I didn't have tickets for that first day I would go to a dinner show, or fort wildneress and do like the horse draw caridge or something like that.

Depending on how tired we are, we'll either hang out and see MSEP or head back to the room to rest.
