Disney Packages Through The Different Airlines

[Scar1199]

I'm chomping at the bit to start planning our 3rd trip to Disney for March 2017, with 2017 pricing coming out in less than 2 weeks I can't wait to start comparing prices. On our other trips we've flown out of Portland and Boston with JetBlue, we live outside Saint John so it made sense with the stronger dollar to take advantage of the cheaper airfare. Now with the weaker dollar I'm going to price flying from either SJ or even Halifax. I was just wondering if anyone has booked a Disney package through any of the airlines. I don't think we are doing the dining plan this time so it would just be flight, resort and park tickets. I'd like to hear any opinions good or bad. I'm still going to price flying out of the U.S. as I like clearing customs when we drive across the boarder, but JetBlue and Southwest haven't released their pricing past February 2017.

I've booked two of five Disneyworld trips through WestJet Vacations; the others were through Disney directly, mind you the CAD/USD exchange rate was better then. For me, it's simply a numbers game. I generally know when I want to go, for how long and which resort I want to stay in long before shopping begins. Whichever booking option can give me the best price is what I go with.

One caveat to WestJet Vacations (and presumably it's the same with Air Canada Vacations, and others) is that payment is due in full at the time of booking. So, if you like the perk of stretching out the payment due date to lessen the sticker shock then one of the airline vacation packages may not be your best choice.

Thanks for the note. That's good to know about payment. We've always had to pay our JetBlue flight upfront but had until 6 weeks or so to finish paying the Disney part off. Very good to know and yes that will play a very big part.
