OK

I got $139 one way leaving on 12/24 (want to change to 12/23 but that was over $230)

We are leaving on 1/2 in the evening and I paid $212.00 for those.

Overall not too bad

but I did not get an confirmation that I bought these How long does that take?? Channing...I need your help!

 

[Cinderumbrella]

Brat!!! All I can get is $159....

From what I am seeing on the Transportation Board, no one is getting confrims right now- the system is probably full.

 

[vbarry]

I had to take the $139.00 even though it was early morning and on Xmas Eve. I am hoping something good opens up on 12/23 but I saved a lot by leaving out on Xmas eve morning. Oh well...we shall see!

Good luck K. did you book something??

 

[vbarry]

So Channing- if my fare on 12/23 decreases....can I change to a 12/23 flight without any fees??

What if I want to change to 12/23 and the fee is higher than what I paid on 12/24- do I pay the difference? Still no change fees??

I am a SW idiot right now!

No... I am still trying to figure out if I should play the waiting game for a couple of days and try to save money or just book it and take the credit.

 

[vbarry]

How long is the credit good for??

 

[vbarry]

Also- We are leaving out of St. Louis. I thought Chicago or Indy fares would be cheaper but they were not.

 

[Cinderumbrella]

I year from today. We aren't going back to WDW until Nov 2009 (and we don't fly elsewhere)

 

[vbarry]

Now K...that is what you thought this year and you got another trip in...remember!!

I am sure one of us would buy the credit. We are going again next Juy and Channing, Dawn and Kelly are going in March.

 

[Lives4Disney]

Vanessa....I can answer a few of your questions with a simple line...

THERE ARE NO CHANGE FEES AT ALL ON SWA!!!

Whatever you change, you will be either credited or they will just ask for the additional payment.

I can tell you Tues and Wed and Thurs have been cheapest flying days...not sure which you have. Tues the cheapest usually.

Just keep an eye on it. Seriously when I was watching my most recent FL flights...they changed daily sometimes...from $99 to $149! And then the next day or so be back down! CRazy!

Kristin,,just go with your gut.

Thanks C!

I am going to stick with my flight times now and hopefully Dec 23 which is a Tuesday will come down. I know this is going to be a busy travel day because of the holiday so maybe I am being stupid but I could not pass up $139 one way during the holiday season!

I got an email from Calvin. I got my CP package for a party of 12. Very excited!

YAY that is awesome!!! I knew he would come thru for you!!!!

No..I think you did well with the $139 going down there. I orig purchased mine at $149 but it did go down to $99....just keep your eyes peeled!

OMG...I just received the CUTEST tank tops I had Carla applique and embroider for the girls to wear on this trip!!!!

I am going to put pics up so you all can see & I LOVE THEM!!! They are sooo cute....she does FABULOUS WORK!!! She is my favorite Ebay lady!!!

[tinklvr64]

K~dont feel bad for our timeframe its $475 pp rt!!!

Thanks... I don't know why I can't pull the trigger on this I guess I was hoping to get us all down there for under $900 and this is over $1000. I was expecting to see lower fares and this really shocked me.

 

[vbarry]

I want to see photos.

I was wondering why you had not posted anything cute that you had bought for the trip this time!

Is she the one you send the shirts to and then she monograms them?

 

[Lives4Disney]

dawn...yikes...that is horrid!!! Hopefully it will come down!!!

Here's some pics of the shirts I had done!! OMG..this is part of the fun for me!

 

[vbarry]

Dawn- Have you checked other airlines? That is crappy! Hopefully you will find something.

 

[Lives4Disney]

yep, Vanessa she is the one!! I am hoping Jojo will wear the pirate skirt this time! I bought it for March but it had a black Minnie tee with it and it was SO HOT in March that a black tee was not appealing, haha....so she made the white tank top for me.

Vanessa, she has ADORABLE Mickey and Minnie gingerbreads too!! I saw those and want something done for the holidays in that!!!

She rocks!

I also had Kathy made ADORABLE hair bows....(like we need more, haha) but she made DING!!! cute ones..

Channing- I will take a PM also.

Very cute stuff.

I did have the lady from Scraps from Heaven make two outfits. One was the wild one for AK and the other was the pink/black minnie with twirl skirt. I hope Lexi will still wear them.

I would love to get some xmas stuff made.
