So excited. We leave on Monday for our 6th annual Mother Daughter Trip. We knew this year we wouldn't be able to go.
But about 10 days ago my hubby got his SWA statement. We had two fee tickets, how did we ever miss that!
So I checked with DVC and they had a mix of days at SSR and OKW and I booked two nights at All Star Sports with an AP rate. Well over the next week I kept checking and was able to get the full stay. I cancelled All Star Sports for two nights on the last day I could cancel.
Now staying 4 nights at Saratoga Springs and 4 nights at Old Key West. Yeah we only have to switch one time.
The airfare since they were Rapid Rewards I got terrible times but after changing flights four times . We now arrive on our first day at 10:30 am. and depart at 4:30 p.m. on our last day. So happy originally we arrived at night the first day and left early morning.
My hubby has been out of work since January like most other people and we never thought this could happen. But my DH said if I could get the flights and DVC (we have annual passes that are still good). I could go with our DD14.
Only need to cover food which I have a bunch of Disney gift cards and rebates that will cover it all.
Didn't want to take savings to cover a trip when we are using it for our living expenses.
