fishing excursion price increase????

[BWVDenise]

I just called to get a reservation for a fishing excursion thinking it was $160 and I was told that it is $210!!! Both Deb's site and wdwinfo.com have it listed at $160. I was wondering if the CM might have made a mistake or if it just recently went up (by a LOT!)

I just took a fishing excursion on April 15th and the cost was $160
I hope they didn't go up, especially that much.

Any opinions on these excursions?
My DH really wants the family to go on one for our next trip. It would be him, me, and our daughters 7 & 9.
Also, on Deb's site it says no live bait for some of them... does this mean we have to bring our own bait???

I just called yesterday for information on these, too. The price depends on the time you go. The 7am one is supposedly the most popular and that one is $210 - the 10am one is $195 and the 1:30 pm one is $180. These were the excursions in Bay Lake and Seven Seas Lagoon. She said they include a dozen live baits and they have more on board that you can purchase as needed for $15/dozen. The prices are for a 2 hour trip and it is $75 for an additional hour.
Hope that helps!

I thought the bait was included, too! My dh went on one a few years ago and he said they used cut-up hot dogs for bait-- he didn't have to pay extra for live bait.
I know he really, really wants to do this, but the price is just killing me!
