Gamble or pull the plug?

I have a flight booked to Disneyland this summer on Breeze airways. I've flown frontier a few times so I thought I understood the risk involved with low cost carriers but the lure of a direct flight and comfortable flight times won out.

Now Breeze is starting to cancel crosscountry flights similar to my route due to rising fuel costs. This will be my kid's first flight and I'm getting more concerned about long delays and getting stuck.

My husband is urging me to rebook us for WDW since we have multiple flight options to Orlando and it is also a driveable distance for us.

In my shoes, would you rebook? Advice please! Originally, I thought I would wait it out but now I'm thinking if I do decide to rebook, I should do it ASAP before flight prices jump further.

Have you priced other airlines heading to Disneyland? That would be my first choice if you have the hotel and tickets booked already.

I had not heard about Breeze having issues, although I did hear Spirit is struggling. I’m surprised more airlines haven’t added a fuel supplement to their tickets. The low cost airlines in particular are going to have a lot of financial pressure unless/untill fuel costs go down.

If canceling the Breeze tickets means no Disneyland at all, then I would probably switch to WDW now, especially since you say it is driveable if necessary. At least that way you know you can get there, regardless of what your airline does. The longer you wait, the fewer discounts may be available. I am sorry you’re having to deal with the uncertainty.

Our current itinerary has us flying into SNA (john wayne)...most of our other options are flying into LAX. Our travel dates are during the world cup and with DHS funding still in limbo, this is another gamble. I do have hotel and tickets booked already although hotel is fully refundable and I bought the tickets through UT so my understanding is that I can still apply the value towards new WDW tickets.

I just checked the disney+ hotel offer and there is a lot less availability than I thought!
