No problem! I'll PM you a picture of your wine charm when I'm done. Hey, are you just going with your parents, or are your kids going too. I forgot!

It will be DH, me, DS, DD, and my parents. My father will look like a fish out of water, my mother will be checking to make sure everything is clean, my DH will have a camera attached to his head, taking pictures of the CRV construction , my kids will be browsing the shops looking to spend some serious money, and I'll (hopefully ) just be looking happy to be there! Can't wait!!

Air Tran comes through again I ALWAYS wind up flying them thanks to ludicrously low fares. Great work Michelle!

YAY, I looooove Fuzzy Math

 

[yearbook50]

Up Next: What can I do with all the money I just saved? An experiment in Disney Fuzzy Math! (just for V!)

I'm going to be a bad influence and say Victoria and Albert's of course!

Although, I'm sure you already have something great planned.

Ok, so tell me little about AirTran. They have flights from LAX to MCO for $99 sometimes, but I'm afraid I'll be separated from my little ones once we get on the plane. I usually end up paying well over $300 r/t on AA.

Save me some money, Michelle and V!

WOW! great price on the flight. This is one of the reasons we have to wait until after we close on our house to book our christmas trip-expensive airline tickets that have to be paid in full. Are you close to Chicago?

It's funny-my family is starting to spot all kinds of lime green things. Last week at church a women was wearing a lime green dress. We wondered if she DISed.
My 10 yr old son Nicky wants me to make him a Lgmh thingy to hang from his camera case on our next trip.
Must go now -son is coming home from school

What a great deal Michelle, you are an awesome bargain hunter

We took AirTran too. Got a great price and paid the xtra $5 per seat to make sure we all sat together. (It's $15 if you want the emergency exit seats).

We were delayed coming back, (about an hour) but I am definitely going to look into them again for next year. (We paid $103 RT from Philly )

Are you ready for this? Not only are they dirt cheap, you now get to pick your seats for an additional $5 per person per flight, PLUS they are a participating airline of DME. I also hear they have newer planes. I'll be sure to give you the full review in a few weeks!!!

We did end up buying our seat assignments for each flight. It was worth the $25 extra per flight to know that we are sitting together and I don't have to be the first one to check in online to make sure we get seats. Steve loves the RAC bag check at the resorts, so he's a happy camper. We did it in December when we flew Northwest and had no problems at all. We couldn't use RAC last October because we flew Southwest.

The only problem with AirTran is that they like to fiddle with the flight times. I had two changes already, but if you keep an eye on your reservation, you should be fine.

Hope this helps!

Awesome info, Michelle! Thanks! I think you may have helped me gain an extra day in WDW!

OMG michelle, what LUCK That is so terrific!!
I would have been a wreck waiting to book the flight
so last minute, but it sure paid off!! I'm getting so excited
for you. Can't wait to hear all about your next diz experience.
I know its gona be wonderful! Thank goodness
your hubby only almost changed his mind What a
bummer to miss out on another disney adventure!!

I love AirTran Michelle..it's all I fly. I never get non-stop flights as cheap as you though...I think it averages out to about $85 per way. Are you an AirTran rewards member? I hope so!! It's free and I think after 8 flights you get one free. You'll have to check the numbers on that but I know we are about halfway there. They just give you a member # and you are good to go!!!

 

[dismom9761]

Awesome that you got such a great deal on your flight!

Pushing the button is one of the scariest parts of planning!

(Pssst, I just did it!)
