Sorry if this is on the wrong board, feel free to move it if it is!
So here is my situation: DF and I will be honeymooning in WDW in July at AKL. Our wedding is on July 7th and we planned on flying out the next morning and checking in at AKL in the early evening for 8th-17th. I booked these dates, but am now trying to get airfare for a decent price out of PDX. Jetblue has a pretty decent rate compared to others I have looked at, but the issue is with timing. My options are:
Depart PDX at 12:20 am July 8th (thus negating a full "wedding night") and arriving in Orlando at 1:16pm or departing July 9th at 12:20 am (thus cutting off one day of our honeymoon because of needing to get back to work) arriving at 1:16pm (this flight is also $75 cheaper per ticket).
I know this seems like a no brainer, leave later, have a morning to sleep in after the wedding and pay less money, but I also know DF and I will just be antsy to get going the whole next day and would love to spend the extra day at Disney. If I chose to switch to the flight on the 9th would it be easy to bump back my arrival date with AKL? If I could swing an extra day could they just move my dates from 8-17th to 9-18th?
I feel like either way I am missing out on something I want. I am also debating paying almost $150 more per ticket on a dif. airline just to get the times I want to fly, is that ridiculous?
Thanks for any opinions, even just typing this is helping!
