HELP! Booking my vacation!

[yazmin182]

Hello experts!
I am trying to book a Disney trip w/ my boyfriend in august for the free food ofcourse. I am starting to stress because yesterday I decided on getting Disney's vacation insurance just in case (cuz ihear the weather might be bad during this time of travel). i also made the "executive decision" to book airfare with disney b/c then the insurance will cover that too. if i book it seperately, the same price vacation insurance wont apply to my airline tickets.

the reason i never thought to book airfare with them was b/c i thought it would b more expensive, but it turns out they offer cheap airlines like spirit and airtran so i found the same good deals with them.

i found a great deal on the whole package with disney but i didnt have enuf money in my account to pay the deposit (u have to pay for airfare as well with the regular 200 deposit) so my airline tickets r gone! They were with spirit, 52 dollars one way from DTW to MCO! You can't get any better than that! By the time I had the money and put it in my account it was gone b/c they onnly hold it for a day.

ok very sorry to make this long, but the point of my story is i know we have to book with disney by june 4th. and i know its limited so if i wait that long, it might not even be available. but now the airfare has gone way up (88 dollars one way) and i cant afford it.

Do you think i should still wait and hope spirit has some specials, i dont know what to do but my life depends on this trip, literally! But i'm also a student with no money! Help!

Do you think that maybe you could get another part time job to earn some extra cash? Or sell some stuff? I would keep calling Disney to try to get the best deal possible. But the difference between $59 and $88 isn't that bad for airfare. I realize $30 can be alot of money, but if that's what's going to break you for your disney trip, maybe you should go for a day less or something like that.

Good luck! I realize how much a person can want to go to Disney, but not have the funds to pay for it.:wave:

I think she means it was 52 round trip and now it's 88 one way pp? Even so, it's still not a ton of money...I agree, you should probably cut out a day if you can't come up with a bit of extra cash. There are so many "surprise" expendatures on vacations, sadly.

Another option, and this is what I would do, is call and speak with someone about how you had that 52$ round trip offer but because you couldn't afford to take it up at that moment, you lost the opportunity, etc etc

Well, it can't hurt anyway...

you have too book your vacation by June 4th - not pay for it... you have 14 days from the time of booking to pay your deposit.
