ever use hotwire's FlexSaver Fare option?

[TigerLilyBlossom]

We have the Disney bug now, and are looking into another trip I noticed that the airfare rates are a lot higher for December than they were for our April trip, *but* saw the Hotwire FlexSaver Fare option, where tickets would be $215 each (we paid $218.50 each last time from Disney) which is a $50+ savings per ticket over the $266-$274 that I am finding buying from Disney and Delta. However, I am leary of buying tickets without knowing the times/carrier. I did notice that they say general times (ie: morning 6am-11am) and such. Anyone use this option and have good results? Are they actual tickets or vouchers? I am thrilled with the savings, but a bit nervous since it seems sort of up in the air without knowing times/carrier before purchase.

Also, are tickets purchased from Hotwore/Expedia/etc. the *same* as buying from the carrier or TA directly, or are their stipulations added that one wouldn't find going another purchase route?

I hope that made sense as you can probably tell, I am a bit confused with buying airline tickets online TIA

You would get e-tickets when purchasing the hotwire tickets. Hotwire is slightly different from Expedia/Travelocity/Orbitz tickets because anything you buy from them cannot be changed, completely non-refundable. You also can't get frequent flyer miles when you buy tickets from Hotwire. If you don't mnind the non-refundable and no frequent flyer miles, then I'd definitely suggest buying the tickets and saving the $$$.
