Hi everyone! I've just recently come on board and have been enjoying the people and this site trememdously. (Thank you Mickey for such a great site!).

I've from the West Coast (Oregon! State Motto: We love the rain, it holds our moss together!) so I'm not sure if this can be used by members on the other side of the land, but Alaska Airlines has a "Kids fly Free" Disney package special going on right now (until May 21st I think...). The deal is that with every paid adult ticket, children fly free. Included in the package is: a Park hopper pass (5 days for the price of 3), 4 night hotel stay for the price of 3 , a 10 min Disney calling card, a depositable camera and a commemorative pin set. (Prices vary depending on hotel choices, departure cities and such) More info can be found at the Alaska airlines website for those who want to find out the particulars.

We are using this package for a trip to DL this spring break and have found the folks at Alaska very helpful through the whole process. Anyways....just thought I put it out there for anyone interested. ;)

Here is the official info:

Kids going to the "Happiest Place on Earth" can now fly free on the happiest plane to get there.

The faces of Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy take to the skies on a newly-painted Alaska Airlines' Boeing 737-400 named Spirit of Disneyland, marking the first time a major U.S. airline has painted one of its aircraft with Disney theme park characters. This is also the first time a face other than Alaska's trademark Eskimo has been pictured on one of the company's aircraft in over a quarter century.

Hi Mickey!
Thanks for filling in all the website info for trip! Sorry this won't be much use for our friends on the East Coast, but I thought maybe it will help those on this side of the country who are looking forward to letting their umbrella's dry out and having some fun at the House of Mouse!

Cheers!

PS BTW Mickey...I didn't know about the lanyard being a part of the package...just the commemorative pin set! Is that something the website stated or that you were told? I'm looking for those now to have for the trip, and that would just make my day if they are including those too...Whoo-hoo!

I just pulled this off of a Disney sit for travel agents that I have access to. Their information isn't quickly posted, but it is always correct. I believe the lanyard is part of the Resort Magic Plan that comes with the room, park passes etc..
