Anyone else getting up early to book August flights with Southwest? I'm going to be online at 6:00am - it's usually around that time / shortly after I believe that they open up flights. Fingers crossed for good flight times and prices!

Yup. I’ll be up for the same reason.

Good luck! I hope you get some great prices tomorrow.
I’ll definitely be up to check it out, but I’m 99% sure we’re driving. But if the price is right, ya never know....

Thank you! I think that may be what we wind up doing, decided AK would def be 2 days.. and although I think we could tackle both Epcot and DHS in 1 day, the food options in Epcot make it a bit more interesting for a second day for us lol.. thank you for your input!
Also, can you please update roll call.. we check out on August 8th now instead of the 7th.. thanks again!

Epcot just naturally works well for a 2 day park. The first morning, we hit half of Future World, then spend the afternoon wandering World Showcase. The second morning, we do the other side of Future World, and again spend the afternoon in World Showcase. There is so much to see and do in World Showcase, and it is so beautiful, that we never really tire of spending time there.

Roll Call has been updated with your new check out date.

We'll be there 8/3-8/10 at CSR for the first time!!! So excited for something new!!

Congrats! You have been added to Roll Call

Nope, I booked us with JetBlue a few weeks back, but good luck, and I hope you get great prices!

This is another reason why I'm so glad I follow this page! I had marked February 7th as the day but I guess they moved it up (or I read the wrong thing).... Thank you!

Hi there everyone. I just realized I hadn't joined the group. We will be staying at POP Aug 26 - Sept 1.

Waiting to book flights. Apparently a windchill of -16 isn't cold enough, so no school delays for us. I'll try to book as soon as I get there. Sigh.

Brrrr... we are only -1 thought that was chilly. Looks like flights were up and then taken right down. I was able to see them long enough to the that the outbound flight I wanted isn't running in August :-(

Up early...and flights still only going through August 5th. Windchill currently -14 where we are!

So glad I looked at this thread early. I also had February 7 as the day to book. I only need return flight. We fly down on August 2, so that is already booked. We currently have a -36 windchill. Planning vacations definitely takes some of that pain away!

 

[OhanaMomma]

They're up! Got my flight
FYI: Booked via my laptop. I checked and when I try using the mobile app, dates are still only through August 5th.

Got my flights! Really happy with prices and times Buffalo to MCO $106 direct and same price for direct return. Super early flight on way to MCO which is what we like! We did pay EBCI price (ugh) but we really want to sit together without any stress. Since bags are included with flight price, I'm ok paying that extra to reserve EBCI. Even with the exchange on the Canadian dollar, we're happy. It was worth getting up early and stalking the site. Hope everyone got the times they wanted.

Yep. Same prices for me. But we didn't book. Lol.
Really great prices and times though! Totally worth the drive to Buffalo for us Canadians.

 

[Pirate princess 2]

Got my flights too. We flight out of Rochester. They are always higher than Buffalo, but we are so much closer to Rochester than Buffalo. I am happy with what I got.

 

[kbender295]

Booked out of Hartford! Great prices. Not a morning girl so the 6:00 a.m. flight is a killer......

Added you to the Roll Call.

Congrats to all who got good deals on their flights this morning.

My condolences to all whom are dealing with the -15 Wind Chills. I'll see if I can make you feel a bit less miserable. It is also -15 here this morning with the wind chill. I work during the day as a school crossing guard, and survive the frigid temperatures mostly because I have a car that I can sit in when there are no kids crossing. Last night, the car started spewing coolant all over the place, and overheating. In all likelihood, it only needs a radiator hose, but there was no way to get that changed before this morning, so I will be standing outside in said -15 degree Wind Chills for two straight hours this morning.

Disney can't come soon enough lol.

Yikes! 2 hours outside is a long time in those frigid temperatures.
Bundle up! It's brutally cold here too. Temps are finally going up on Saturday....for a few days at least. Lol.
