Best Airfare from Vancouver - for both WDW and for DL

[seema]

What are the best (ie cheapest) airfare options for both Walt Disney World, and for Disneyland, if one resides in Vancouver? I am interested in options of regular, discount, and charter flights from Vancouver, as well as flights from either Bellingham, WA or Seattle (Sea-Tac airport). For the latest 2 options, what are the cheapest surface transportion options between Vancouver and one of the 2 latter cities, either if one uses one's own car (then gasoline and parking fees must be included), and if one does not use one's car (ie rental car, bus transportation between Vancouver and Sea-Tac airports, or between city centres, or between city centre and airport etc).

I ask the question because for Torontonians, it looks like using airlines from Buffalo is the cheapest option. My GTA relatives for next week's departure got the cheapest quote (over a month ago) of CAN$300-350 (I believe it was Jetsgo from Toronto to Sanford, and Canjet from Hamilton to MCO) per person, while several airlines had similar price quotes from Buffalo; they took NorthWest Airlines - for CAN$170 per person. Note the prices include taxes and other fees.

It's definitely more expensive to fly from Vancouver than from Toronto. I went to WDW last year for a week around President's Day and flew from Seattle. My flight including taxes was $390 Cdn. At this time it was the best price we could find... we would have flown from YVR but the lowest we could ever find was $450 Cdn, and that was about a week before we actually left. As there were seven of us, the savings to fly from SEA was worth it. We drove and found some long-term parking. I did look into taking a bus (ie QuickShuttle or Quick Coach, whatever it is called) from Vancouver to Sea-Tac, but it was around $40 per person... maybe each way.

As I recall, flights from Bellingham weren't any cheaper than flights from Vancouver.

What I've done is gone to www.travelocity.ca and set up my FareWatcher to observe the flight prices. It emails me every time the prices change. The lowest I've found is $170 Cdn from SEA including taxes.
