Long story short. Going to Dis for 2 days. Not taking any suitcases with us, just free carry on bags. Tickets were $100 a pop, no bad.

But i was wondering if i can get away with not paying for a seat on the flight. Its just myself and my wife. I heard if you check in at the 24h mark your chances of sitting next to your partner are high. anyone comment on this?
 
Yes, you can do that, but it isn't guaranteed, you can always ask at the gate when the podium opens to see if there are seats together.
 
well i plan on checking in 24 hours before hand online. it looks like the plane has a lot of seats together. i dont see why not
 
A lot of passengers, probably vast majority, want to sit next to a traveling companion. A lot of passengers, probably most, don't want to pay for assigned seats. A lot of passengers check in at T24. Many passengers will be able to sit next to their companion. Some passengers won't. Saving the few dollars makes a lot of sense as long as you're willing to accept the possibility of being split up and not complain.
 

We have flown on Spirit several times. We usually check-in around the 24H and the two of us have always gotten seats together. Once we had to check in at the airport 2 hours before the flight and still had seats together. BUT be careful with the carry-on bags. Make sure they can fit under the seat in front of you. I've seem them charge people up to $100 for having to check there bag because of the size. Read their bag rules carefully. They do charge for a carryon that goes in the overhead too.
