Len's Christmas 2006 getaway

Authored by: AquaViola on Monday, April 28 2008 @ 10:38 AM CDT

Halfway through this episode, Len mentioned his Christmas 2006 getaway.

If you haven't heard this episode recently, it's a must listen; still as funny.

It's Episode 200, and here's the link: http://www.wdwtoday.com/article.php?story=20070103090332912.

I can't believe you guys didn't contact me for this episode. Almost all of my visits are weekend trips. (Usually friday thru sunday) Occasionally we wake up Saturday a.m. grab an overnight bag and call WDW Reservations on the way up there. Hey Newell, looking forward to playing "Name that 80's Metal Band" with you again.

Mongello Book Bonfire

I was waiting for Len to say that he tossed the kid's WDW Trivia book into the fire, saying that it's for lightweight Disney fans. Then he could have snapped a photo of the burning book on his iPhone and texted it to Lou.

Alas...

Short Notice Miles

Authored by: djdavies on Wednesday, April 30 2008 @ 09:24 PM CDT

Using frequent flier miles on short notice can incur extra fees (what doesn't, nowadays?) depending on your airline, so be aware of that. It'd still be better than paying full fare, but not as good of a deal as planning ahead.
