My hours were cut back at work today. Really cut I have this trip coming up. Its a 10 night 11 day trip for Madisons Bday that I worked SO hard to do for her.
Here is the kicker. I still owe $331 to Disney. I have to have it paid off by July28.
I was thinking with everthing coming up that I wasnt planning for I may not be able to do the whole 10 night trip. My dog has heartworms and we just found out so in order to "save" her we needed to come up with $1200 for treatment.
I was thinking of shaving off some days on the trip. Only perhaps 2 nights which wont "kill" me I am locked into SWA $59 flights from Philly/Orlando 9-10 9-20 I was going to have my siser drop us off and pick us up. I canceled the limo to save the funds for the dog
OK so here is the deal... Since Im locked into the $59 flights IF I change it Philly has $99 flights for the next step up so if I canceled my flights and booked 2 days out its really not saving me money. For the money I would be saving with the rook at WDW I would be paying to so higher flights the next 2 days out.
I was looking into baltimore which has $49 flights both ways but it doesnt leave till the afternoon and we wouldnt be getting there till 3ish AND I would have to pay for parking BUT would have a $40 something credit with SWA I was thinking of reselling for a smaller amount.

What would you do? Keep the flight the way it is and hotel and not worry about it till the end of July when it has to be paid off and just hope I can come up with the money OR Shave off days BUT not change the flights for philly and hope that a ding comes my way or an internet cheaper price OR shave off the 2 days and book baltimore and just be happy I didnt have to cancel the whole trip?

Advise please..
They way I look at it is, you definitely should still go. If you drop the trip completely you're loosing out on all the money you put into the trip. Especially the airlines. they don't let you cancel or make major changes with out penalizing you for it.

This might sound odd but...sell something. If you only need $331 than maybe there's a few things or one big thing you have kicking around that you might be able to sell on ebay or even to someone you know. I know I have a whole cellar of stuff that I'll never use that's just sitting there. Why not sell it right? Anyways it's just an idea.
