Disney Air Has Changed

[Shanti]

This past week I booked a cruise for Labor Day weekend, and since that's in the midst of hurricane season, I booked all the extras through Disney: flights, transfers & insurance, so if there are weather-related problems, we only have to deal with Disney.

I've read about Disney Air on these boards a bit, & booking has some differences from what I'd read:

1. We got to choose our specific flights, with no extra fee. (An agent searched for the "best option", & when I had an issue with one flight, she found another for me.)

2. I was able to choose our seats through this agent, although she said the carrier reserved the right to change them (all carriers have that right anyway).

3. I got all of these details (including an email confirmation of them) on the day of booking, 9 months in advance.

4. The prices were reasonable for flexible flights ($421 round trip per person from Texas to Florida). I confirmed that we can cancel the flights with no penalty up to our paid-in-full date.

I think they've been allowing flight selection for awhile - which is really awesome. I seem to recall this change after we booked with Disney air in 2014 for a 2015 cruise in Europe. Glad you were able to get the times and seats for your family that you liked!
