Wow! Just got round trip tickets from Norfolk to Orlando in February for $165! We weren't sure we could go, but we are now!

Interesting. I signed up for a SW Credit Card to get the 50,000 miles. The points won't be in my account for 2 weeks. So I guess I'll buy the flight now and bank the points until next year or whenever I next take a SWA flight.

Just booked a flight for my father-in-law for his trip here in Dec. And rebooked my mom's flight and have nearly a $50 credit now she'll probably use in the spring!

I just want to say Thank you to "Disney Princess" for starting this thread. I might have missed this deal if not.

I've been checking Southwest.com every Tuesday afternoon for a couple months, tracking the prices. This past Tuesday, 4 round trip tickets from Austin to Disneyland (SNA) totaled $1,324.80. Then this deal knocked 35% off the total. I bought 4 tickets yesterday for $864.00, for a savings of $460.80! I looked today, and I guess they are running out of seats now on the flight I booked, because 4 tickets totals $1,812.80!

Thanks again. That savings will be huge on the budget.

Nice. Hopefully you will be able to use the $325 in Southwest credits. Ours always expire because we don't fly frequently enough.

Awww. You're welcome!

We were excited to save some money, and I knew others would be too. I often get emails from airlines that I don't truly read, so it could have been missed. I hope that everyone here enjoys their deals.

I'm excited you're heading to DLR. We were supposed to go there, but our airfare to MCO was much cheaper than to LAX/SNA, so WDW here we come.

I've been holding off to buy March tickets. I hope they'll have another sale for the Spring.
