I just booked our flights for or Feb trip. I had the hotel (HIFS) and car (National) booked quite a while ago, but was waiting just be be sure we could go. Now there is no turning back! lol.
I ended up booking with Air Canada at about $120 per person more than Air Transat would have cost. (There are 5 of us so it did add up). But a VERY big consideration for us was the flight times. 2 winters abo we flew Air Transat on a 6:30 am flight and I vowed never again. Even staying in a hotel close to the airport (we live 1 hour away) we still had to be up by 3:30 am to be at the terminal for 4:30 . I wanted to be there at least 2 hour early, so that we could pick our seats together. Then the flight was delayed for an Hour. I know any flights may be delayed, but when you are already getting up in the middle of the night, that was an awfully long hour! Also we will be on a 767 which may be a little less cramped. So, we take off at 1015 am, and when we come home, we dont leave Orlando until 2:15 pm, so that leaves us most of the morning on our last day to swim or whatever. (Mom will be packing Im sure..
) Im going to either Sears or CAA this week to buy our Park Hopper passes. Maybe with a little luck, Ill have them payed off before we go.
Now that things are more finalized, Im really getting excited. Ive started packing lists already!! (compulsive planner).
I started reading these boards just before our last trip. And have now become addicted Im afraid. If it werent for these boards, I dont know how Id have a clue on where ot begin.
Thanks to all of The DIS!!
