    Halifax to Orlando

    Delta is usually about half as much out of Halifax as Air Canada or Westjet. That's who we've been booking with the last few years. Halifax with Delta has been cheaper than Maine the last 2 years for us. I paid $315 round trip each for November.

    Airfare at the end of August is going to kill me.

    We Booked with Delta out of Halifax Paid $315 round trip taxes in each through Orbitz for November. We used to fly out of Maine but the airfare from Bangor or Portland has gone way up and is more than flying out of Halifax. Usually pay $300-$450 with Delta to Orlando any time of year.

    Free dining upgrade questions.

    We managed to get free dining, there was very limited room selection for our dates. We ended up booking into ASM so we get 12 nights or 72 credits for QS dining for three of us. We have had DDP at moderates several times, and even POP many years ago. Last year we had FD at POP, but paid the...

    Missed free dining by 1 day.

    We got lucky today Delta Airlines changed or flight schedule. This meant I was able to get them to move or tickets a day earlier at no cost. Booked free dining 10 minutes later :teeth:.

    Missed free dining by 1 day.

    I thought it would be a slow time to go, after the Thanksgiving holiday in the USA, but before the Christmas crowds start. I hope there isn't something going on that week I did hear about that will make for huge crowds.

    Missed free dining by 1 day.

    We booked our flights a few weeks ago for November 29th to Dec 10th 2016 and looks like we missed free dining by 1 day :mad:. It's blacked out exactly on our booked days, the 28th is the last day for November and the 10th of December is the first day it's available again. Bad luck for us we were...

    Canadian Dollar is going to cancel our trip.

    Values were not part of the Free dining bounce back deal at the time. CBR was the least expensive option.

    Canadian Dollar is going to cancel our trip.

    Looks like we'll be canceling our trip this fall because of the exchange rate. We have a Free Dining bounce back for end of September early October at Caribbean Beach resort, but the falling dollar is making the price just not worth it. The trip was booked at $4400 US now will cost almost $6100...

    Restaurants Full

    We are book for Sept 19-29 and at 180 days there was a very limited restaurant selection. I had believed many people had pre booked trips expecting a larger free dining offer. As that limited availability of free dining has been long booked up I had expected more restaurants to become available...

    What is your not so normal item to pack, which is helpful while at WDW ?

    Baby zinc cream for diaper rash not just for babies anymore. It will take care of a foot blister pretty much over night, always a risk with all the walking around WDW. We always have it packed for WDW trips. It also helped on one trip after a member of our party developed a bit of a painful and...

    Value Resort at Deluxe Prices oh how the exchange rate sucks.

    No the first offer they had for a flight around the time we wanted to fly I took. I had never used them before for anything. At $315 I was happy enough to take it and Priceline was fast and easy to use. Had all my flight info emailed from Priceline in a few minutes went to Delta's site and...

    Value Resort at Deluxe Prices oh how the exchange rate sucks.

    For those thinking of a Universal trip we did one last year and saved by buying annual passes we stayed for 10 nights at Royal Pacific and spent a few hours at least each day at the parks. They were only a bit more than a 3 day park to park, and I bought 1 preferred annual pass so we had...

    Do you consider a family that makes >$100,000 wealthy?

    No. I live in Atlantic Canada on Prince Edward Island and 100K does not go very far. We have made well over that for more than 10 years and are middle class at best. We own our own home on about an 80 acre lot, but being almost 10 mins out of town only pay about $800 year in property taxes which...

    Thinking of booking 1st DCL trip, tips you wish you had know on your 1st cruise.

    With the changes to DCL alcohol policies have made DCL far more appealing than in the past for my wife and I. So we have thought of adding a 4 day Bahamas cruise to our WDW trip in Oct 2016. What are some things you wish someone had let you know for your first DCL trip, or any other cruise. This...

    Happy about alcohol policy!!

    The changes have actually made me finally consider a vacation with DCL. My wife and I don't drink at all and find being around people consuming large amounts of alcohol annoying. So for use this is a definite plus, we are now thinking of adding a 4 night Bahamas cruise to our WDW trip next OCT.

    Value Resort at Deluxe Prices oh how the exchange rate sucks.

    This is turning out to be the most expensive trip we've taken to WDW ever. The exchange rate is killing us. The 10 nights we booked at POP for September have cost me as much as our trip to SSR in November 2013. Last time I remember dealing with the exchange rates this bad was when we went in the...
