Airfare for 5, including luggage fees, $1200

We had $505 in gift cards that were given to us for the holidays/birthdays so that helped. We also just got our $10 gift card from DMR so we'll use that on our trip. We'll also probably buy a handful of Disney Gift Cards at Target to get the 5% discount.
