The NEW Official November 2010 Countdown & Planning Thread ~ Come join us! (Part 1)

We booked with Airtran too, out of Indianapolis. Tickets dropped to 77 each way and I jumped on them a few weeks ago! Plus, you have to add to choose your seats, and because I didn't want the kids to not be sitting with us, this is a must.
Our Undercover Tourist 8 day Park Hoppers arrived TODAY! That is very exciting! The trick now is to not lose them in the next 6 1/2 months!

Congrats! That's an even better price than I got! Ours came out high, but dropped to $79 the second day they were out, so I jumped on that. They have only gone up from there. I didn't pay the extra to choose our seats. I just check in online 24 hours in advance and we have never had a problem all sitting together. So far!

What airline do you use? Just curious...we use Continental and I wait until about 3 months out....

We only fly Continental as well, right now the fares are absolutely terrible. I'll prob book 'em sometime in July and hopefully, prices will improve. I use my Continental credit card to book just to avoid baggage fees.

We wanted to fly AirTran but our there is not Fri flights from MCO back home. And it says that the Sat flight is either sold out or not being sold yet. We were already considering adding the night, so a Sat flight would have been fine. I am guessing its sold out since its Thanksgiving weekend. Bummer! We are going to keep a eye on Allegiant Air and see what they offer when the dates open. If not, looks like we are driving again!

But some great news, our county school district decided to go back to the old Thanksgiving schedule and give the kids the full week off instead of Wed, Thur and Fri! So now, my kids won't have to miss any school. Yeah! I was having some serious issues with pulling them out. But since so many kids are out those 2 days, they never do anything but watch movies, do arts and crafts, music or gym, I was trying to not worry. Now its a non-issue!

We are in the process of planning our fall trip; Nov. 1-7 with a cruise on DCL possibly to follow. We may do a split stay with CBR/Poly.

We get Flyer Miles with continental on our credit card...so our flights are covered...I do hate paying that luggage fee!! That is sooo ridiculous...I mean, we gotta have luggage right? What a rip! Oh well.....I am just happy to go!!! I looked the other day, and it was at $305 RT.....when it drops to $200 or under, I am booking!!!!

I just checked Air Tran again and they don't have anything up yet for the return date. It ought to be soon. I've been keeping an eye on this because DD will fly from NC. I just want to get the tickets and then I'm set.

We booked with JetBlue. I usually wait until 3 or 4 months out as well but flight cost's seem really high this year so I just went ahead and booked. We still ended up with a really good rate.

I checked Cont. again today and now it's up to $321 RT!! I will keep watching as we get closer...hopefully our points will be enough if I hit a low $$ amount we can get them all for 'free' again!!

 

[sjs314]

Booked our flights today decided to go with our original dates since return flight fares for the Sunday we added were $100 more than coming back on the Saturday , so we decided $400 was too much for one more day. AKV here we come November 8 thru 13th

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

I know you are glad to have that taken care of....thats worse for me trying to catch the best fare than picking a resort!!! Such chances with those fares!

I know I have been watching Delta , going to SW and Jet Blue daily to see if the November fares were out, I debated about waiting to see if I could get a better deal but least this way I have it booked and got seats where I want on the plane $977.60 for the 4 of us not to awful bad.

I am so excited, I can't wait for November to get here! My twins will turn 9 on Sunday while we are there. They have requested dinner in the castle, I hope we can get it on thier actual birthday! We got lucky last time in '06 and got it on the day we wanted it too!

 

[WAHkoMom]

We are waiting to book southwest -- not sure when that booking window will open.. Last i checked , it was up to Oct. 30th -- anyone know when they will open for november?

Someone helped me out with this earlier, so I'll pass it along. SW's website says "We are currently accepting air reservations through October 30, 2010. On June 10, we will open our schedule for sale through January 7, 2011. This date is subject to change! Please check back frequently."

I am also hoping to get a SW flight (we love the direct flight from Providence to Orlando). I bookmarked the "Travel Tips" page: http://www.southwest.com/travel_center/travel_center_tips.html?int=GFOOTER-CUSTOMER-TRAVEL-TIPS (and I check it every couple of weeks!)
