Welcome aboard.

For some added fun this summer, there a quite a few of us getting together to raise money for Give Kids The World (a project of the DIS) and having a DIS meet at the same time. They are doing a recording of the Podcast at the main event Sunday August 11 in Middle Sackville.

Details are in the Podcast Thread at the top under Events for GKTW.....come meet other Disney freaks!!!

I do not know if we could make that. It would be nice to attend. We do travel to Antigonish monthly or more for various reasons so might fit in around that. I hope it goes well for all the Dis fanatics in the Maritimes. Anyway we hope everyone enjoys the superb Maritime weather these days

Cheapest flights out of Halifax is around $500 right now for my times of Dec 17th -Dec 26th.Is that good or should I wait and see if that comes down?

 

[coastgirl]

If that's taxes and fees in, dcessford, that's very good--I'd grab it.

We are taking a short four day trip over the Nov. long weekend, leaving the ninth, returning the thirteenth from PEI. Flights are fairly high with AC right now and WJ isn't available. I am wondering if Prices will go down at this point. We could also probably do Moncton.

I'm in Newfoundland so flight costs are high. We go in Oct. and after watching AC for 3 months I booked at $539 round trip. That is great for here . I booked our flights down in may and return last week.

 

[cbmamainnf]

Still do not have return booked.....too pricey. WE got our flight down for $288 each....also from Newfoundland

 

[Fundytrail]

So there is no confusion we got direct return flights out of Halifax for $248 but with taxes and fees in it was $539.87 each with March departure and April return in 2014.

MCO arrival time 9:10 AM MCO departure time 10:35 AM

Those are some great prices. I booked a return to Moncton for $369.00 but have not booked the departure. The times from PEI are not very good and even though November is off season, with free dining etc I wonder if the $482.00 is as goods as it will get. I can cancel my reservation for return until later today. Not crazy about AC but there isn't any other airline I can use for my dates unless we go to Halifax, a huge and potentially expensive hassle.

Hello!

I would grab any of the flight prices listed above! I am trying to find a deal for our trip, Oct. 21 - Nov. 2/13! 1 stop is ok best price $600 * 4, not bad but would like a $500 or so price, also the hours @ $600 not so good. I like any time flight going down but a lunch time or later coming home. I know fussy fussy but it works better for my family So, if anyone had info on flights they would like to share, it would be great! ( Halifax - Orlando )

 

[Canadian Girl]

If I book the outbound and add the two together, the total is about $850.00 with decent arrival and departure times. I will have to pay someone to meet us in Moncton. There are cheaper flights but they mean leaving the Disney resort about 4am or getting in at 1.22 am.

$482 taxes in for return? Or just one way? Last summer I was able to get flights for $488 return and I was super excited. Normally I'm happy with $550 or less. This trip I'm paying over $700!!!

 

[Canadian Girl]

One way. $850.00 total. My return has been booked. $369.00. Part of the problem is flying out of PEI as there is only one airline most of the time.

Update, I was worried as so many of the flights have two or three stops each way, so booked our outbound too for the above price total. I didn't want to get in at mid-night with children or leave at four in the morning from the resort when we only have three full days. Now to stay off the web-sites in case they drop as AC does not give a credit like Westjet does.

 

[dennise]

Fundytrail, who did you book with? We are looking at a Wed departure with a Sat return.

Hope you find something soon! I fly from Deer Lake and got them $293 down and $246 coming home. Flights that I wanted also.

 

[Canadian Girl]

I have a few more hours to cancel but my TA says the Toronto Orlando portion is the problem, not PEI. It is fairly booked up and already one of the larger planes so she doesn't see more seats being added. Wishing I had decided back when the seat sales were on.

 

[Fundytrail]

Wow! Just noticed this thread in the Canadian Trip Planning & Community Board is one of the most Viewed and also most replies, not the top of the list but impressive.

I quess we Atlantic Canadians are passionate about Disney
