You are talking a total of almost 5 extra hours to get to WDW...cutting seriously into your park time. I am not including the 2 1/2 hours it takes to fly there...now we are at 7 hours of travel. You are then going to have to factor in the gas and tolls...meals on the road...Val, it really seems you are going around the block to many times in order to save a minimal amount. Have you tried the priceline naming your own price thing? Why not do that and fly out of the airports you want on the days you want. The only thing you have to gamble with at that point is the time you are flying. Seems like a lot less hassle then all this. I hate to think of you racing around trying to get to WDW.

I did Tally it up last time when you mentioned it, and posted it on that thread I have here, dont know if you saw. And yeah SW IS Cheaper!
Well, I HATE early morning flights... I rather take a nite flight and be all fresh and ready to go for Halloween which I have tickets for MNSSHP. I want to be able to stay up late that nite w/o being dead tired!!!
I really want to do Southwest, because of all the "NO Extra Fees" policy they have. The other airlines are MORE $$ Plus all the extra fees.
AND If I fly in nite of 10/30, we can go to TL on 10/31. I just found this out.
TL closes for refurb 11/1 and that would be a chance to go to that park instead of BB, which we have absolutely zero interest in! We can go ck-in at CBR, get our tickets (room probably won't be ready but that's ok), go to TL early and leave early then head to MK for MNSSHP.
Last time I stayed in Maingate, I stayed at a really nice budget hotel (Ramada Maingate?) for $40, it was in the Maingate area, 1 mile from Disney's maingate, and there is a Bob Evans next door. It's on the Irlo Bronson Hwy, or whatever you call it 192.
Anyways, we did the same thing, arrived late, had dinner at Bob Evans, went to bed, checked out and drove over to the WL for ck-in in the morning. The hotel was well worth the $40 and I think it's available too (I checked hotels.com).
