That is HALF what you are paying for the crapy flight you now have on your hands. I'm thinking it's drive time.... Even if you were to rent a Trailblazer or something more comfortable. You still could get it done for less and not have to deal with the airlines at all. But then again, I haven't been on a plane since I was 6 either

We drove to Disney last time and it wasn't bad at all. It took roughly 7 hours. The problem is that by the time we finished our vacation in Orlando we were sick by the time we got home. The drive home was MISERABLE and that was before we had another child. The thought of driving that far with my 20 month old is horrifying! We drove with her in January to Gatlinburg, TN and we learned fast to never do that again. That trip took 8 hours and she cried off and on most of the way!! Now I am wishing we could drive. The problem is that Delta will not refund our money. We can apply the money towards different tickets (another trip) but we can't get the money back that we paid.
Dalako, we booked through Disney using their travel agents. Ridiculous, huh?!
