A cute story about yesterday's SWA craze...

[splashmt]

I am a 6th grade teacher and use a laptop in my class to teach from... so, I can check the SW website during "down times" in my class. My students have known for about 2 weeks that I am desperate to get cheap tickets for my family's annual Easter vacation to DW. They also know that I, in general, am a Disney Freak. So, around noon, one of my students asks me... "did your tickets go on sale yet?" I check, and they had, so I screamed and started going to work to get my dates... One of my students says in a cute voice... "look at her, she's so nervous her hands are shaking!!!" AND THEY WERE!! When I was done, and had booked for only $180pp they clapped for me!! It was cute, and then we got back to work!

That is cute. I'm glad you were able to get your fares. Your students must really like you.

splashmt......keep checking those prices.....when I first bought our tickets for last week's trip back in August they also were $180.00 pp rdtp, but, being the
diligent (?) person I am I checked on almost a daily basis and ended up with
$116 pp rdtp with a $240.00 credit for the next trip!!!

thanks for your input. I will keep checking a bit, but, its Easter Week, and I am so excited to NOT being paying $400pp like I did last year when I missed "opening day". Also, I am getting burned out on constantly checking. I mean, I do this a lot at home (and some at school), for the past 2 months when the April dates were not released before Halloween. Thanks
