Yes - it's worth the wait!! They don't charge for up to two suitcases per person - we had to pay an extra $60 for 4 suitcases on a return flight last month with Airtran - won't do that again!
Sign up for the Southwest Ding (just use a Buffalo zip code 14225) then you'll be notified when their dates are extended and any deals for Buffalo to Orlando. I did this a couple of months ago for our December flight and was able to get $64 one way non-stop when they were released. And no extra for luggage!

We went down in September flying out of Buffalo. We flew Southwest because we liked their flight times much better than the others. As the previous poster mentioned they also included two pieces of checked luggage for each person at no additional charge. This can add up very quickly on some of the other airlines.

We compared prices before booking and found that the prices were the same for the most part between Southwest, AirTran and Jet Blue that is of course excluding the luggage factor.

We ended up paying $56 for the flight down and $64 for the flight back. Definately a great deal!

Don't forget Jetblue too!!!! They have great TV programming available..very comfy, roomy seats and best of all, you can check in at your Disney Resort and not see your bags until you arrive in Buffalo!
