Re: Summer Discounts Announced
I just priced out a few trips in September...but all were too expensive. Southwest has also posted $59 one-way flights from my hometown to MCO...and same price coming back. That means 2 round-trip flights for $236 TOTAL. That is insane...I remember paying $200 (flying Delta) for just me back in 2001 and thinking it was a great deal.

we would be able to take advantage of an AP...justifying the enormous price.

Wow ~ those airplane fares are incredible! Would you be able to swing APs if you knew you would be going back for sure in 2014 before they would expire?theBIGyowski wrote:I just priced out a few trips in September...but all were too expensive.

we do have a Disney Rewards gift card that will expire later this year...so we've thought about using it to help pay for a few park passes since they never expire until you start using them
