Airfare. Is. Evil.

Plus, for us we have to factor in a rental car if we fly. We went with a rental one time and solely used Disney transportation. Never again.

LOL export PA! I grew up there. Went to PTHs. Lived right near Westomoreland nCountry Club. Small world!!! We always rent a car but I have found for WHATEVER reason it is cheaper to drop it off at the Dolphin between the weekend. The last 2 years I paid 57.0 for a 6 day rental. Yes you read that right.....Then we walk over to YC (where we stay) and are car- less for the last day at Epcot and departure day we take ME...

here is a cool site that tells you how much it cost to drive

But that's just gas. It doesn't include food, wear and tear, hotels for people who don't drive nonstop...

Small world indeed, we live near Westmoreland Country Club!!!! Love this school district!

I've priced it @ Dolphin, but it must depend on dates because it was always more expensive for our dates. Great price though!!

I just realized that if I drive an hour to another airport, I'll save nearly $500 and won't have to pay for checked bags! So I highly recommend checking other airports too!

Yes....This. I learned this trick 2 years ago. We always flew out of PHL. Prices were outrageous for that time. I did an orbitz check and BWI came up as within 80 miles. I did a SW search from BWI....turns out BWI is a major hub for Southwest. I can usually (with enough planning) get a flight for $109 one way. No bag fees. The cost of gas, and tolls ads to the price, but it easily saves me $200 minimum each way.

Right now, Spirit has some deals at $83.89 one way... but thats with a $60 fare club purchase, add bag fees, seat selection fees and it ends up at $116.50 pp one way. I think the drive to and from Baltimore is not worth saving $7.50 pp but we'll see.
