Help for a newbie on booking flights

[TayBai2]

This is my first time to book a flight. We are going to Disney Sept 11 - 16. I checked with SW and it will be 835.20 for 4 of us, DH, myself, DS 14 and DD 11.
We will arrive at DW 11:45 and will leave DW at 5:05 which is great for us. This is a non stop flights. I have checked other airlines and they rates are much higher and their flights are with stops. I have be reading everyone's posts about flights and about SW and now I'm getting confused and anxious on what to do. I do have ding on my home computer but not at work. What do you think? Book now or wait. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
thanks!!

IMO $209/seat doesn't sound too bad.

I think that you should consider how much you're comfortable paying. If the $835 is an amount that you're willing to spend, then go ahead and book it. If Southwest drops the price or you pick up a Ding then the airline will give you credit for the difference that you can use on a future flight. So if the price is something that's affordable to you I'm not sure that you have anything to lose. Have fun on your trip!

Thanks for your reply.
This might be a stupid question but do you get a ding everyday or only when a good deal is in your area? If I look online and then find a better deal with SW then I will be able to change it for that price and use the money saved for another time.
I am comfortable with that price, but I always try to save money. We have drove to Orlando twice and flew once however we did not pay for that flight my husbands old employer paid for my families first trip to disney in full My husband does not want to drive again. So I will eventually need to book a flight.
thanks again
