| WHAT just Happened!?!?!?!?! I went on to the SWA webpage to check my Dec 2-6 flight to see if there was any price change and guess what... YAY my flight home is now $13 cheaper  . SO I am going to rebook and take the $26 credit (2 of us flying) towards my Feb trip. BUT WAIT there's more... Our flight home was originally scheduled for 8am out of Orlando and we are using DME so that means leaving the hotel around 5am . For the SAME price (no $26 credit) I can change my flight home to 11am! That sounds pretty good!!OH WAIT... Keep LOOKING... At the bottom of the screen there is a direct flight at 6pm for the $26 credit Price   A FULL extra day in DISNEY AND CHEAPER flight home!!!!So I CLICK away! Get my $26 credit and rebook my flight! BUT it doesn't stop there! I am close to two airports that SW flies out of so I go to check the other airport to see what they have to offer. PVD had been higher than BDL so I wasn't holding out much hope. They did have a couple of flights for a cheaper price, but the travel times were worse, so I kept my original change at Bradley. I go back to the Bradley page JUST to double check and make sure I did in fact pick the best time/price and GUESS WHAT........ The flight I had JUST BOOKED five minutes earlier had gone UP in price!!!!!!! Back to my Original ticket price!!!  I checked my ressie page and I did in fact book it for the cheaper price and get the credit! Holy Cow! Timing is everything!!! I'm going to keep a closer eye on the SW page between now and Dec! I have a feeling I will be changing things A LOT between now and then! Hopefully enough to get enough credits to pay for a good chunk of my next flight in February!

| Ok I HAVE GOT TO STAY AWAY!! I just went back on to SWA webpage... just to check -- don't know what-- and changed my schedule AGAIN - TWICE!! First I booked us Outbound from Hartford CT to Orlando on Monday afternoon instead of Tuesday morning. OK now I need a hotel room for Monday night  , but at least we will be rested for MVMCP on Tuesday!And a returning into Providence RI on Friday night, so I lose my all day Saturday and will have to cancel my Friday night ressie , but it SAVED me $160!!I decided to BOOK the monday night before doing anything with friday night and I got a GREAT AP rate - POP Century for $60!! WOW! SO.... my little brain starts thinking.. hmmm I should have kept the Saturday departure, but it was too high to go back now....or is it???? So I go back to SWA once again and Can I believe my Eyes???? The Saturday night flight is back DOWN in price????!!!!!! OK REBOOK again!!! NOW I have us leaving a day early (well ok half a day but still...) , got a room dirt cheap, get the extra full day on Saturday on the other end, still have that room (for Friday night) from my great deal from August visit (30% off if you book before you leave!) AND I STILL SAVED $80 My poor Mom!! I only called her about 15 times today to tell her about the changes! So itinerary at least for now: Leave Dec 1 out of Hartford CT 4:45pm Arrive Orlando 7:45 pm stay at Pop one night Dec 2-5 AKV  Dec 5 ASSports for one night Depart Orlando Dec 6 at 6:10pm back to Hartford CT Whew! I'm pooped! I wonder how many more times I will end up changing this thing? Anyone want to hedge a bet?

|  This is exactly what I did! I made sooo many changes that I was waiting for WDW and Jet Blue to say," I am sorry, but no more changes for you! Nalagh

| Okay first of all, congratulations!! Second of all, I had a massive Polish moment (aka brain lapse) and for the life of me couldn't figure out what "ASSports" meant, as I read it "Ass sports".  Even the dogs are laughing at me. |

| That's crazy! We don't have SW up here, so I can't imagine being able to change my flights over and over. Once we buy the tickets, we're stuck unless we want to pay major change fees. I have been having fun watching the price go up since I bought our tickets though! From $650 to $805 now! For a "savings" of $465 for the 3 of us!

| WOW!!! You are one busy and lucky girl. So many changes and still 3 months to go before you leave. I pity the reservations people trying to keep up with you. I will be there for part of Mousefest from Dec 12th. I have made my reservations at a great discount but have to drive a lot further than normal and go to Sanford instead of Orlando. All this to save about $150. Sure wish SW flew out of Charlotte. They sound like the airlines with everything on the ball. Sounds like you have Tinkerbell living on your shoulder with all of the magic you have coming your way.  BTW your sig pic is neat.
