    Post all SW questions concerns, etc. here...

    Any chance of SW fares going back down?? I was watching an October RT flight - two tickets $365... checked today - more than doubled! OUCH! Of course, kicking myself but I needed to make sure all was good with the dates. A little fluctuation is expected - double HURTS! THanks for any info...

    October 2014 Car Rentals.

    Thanks! That is the one that I booked - if you click on it, the taxes and fees are then added to the price. Grand total $122... a little misleading to say the least. At least when you are checking at Costco.com, all fees are included so you are looking at the price you will actually pay.

    October 2014 Car Rentals.

    I finally decided to do a Pay Now at Budget - 10/3 (9:30a) to 10/10 (5:30p) - Costco ID W852802 and Coupon Code Mugz029 = $122 all in! I was pretty happy with the 8 day rental cost and figured it wouldn't go much lower. That's for the 2nd tier car - compact (Ford Focus).

    October 2014 Car Rentals.

    I've been checking the Costco site everyday to see if I can improve on my $150 rate for October 3 - 10 (includes an extra 7 hours, early flight in, late flight leaving). As of now, no dice for me, but if you haven't booked yet, it looks like the rates are coming down. I was seeing $400 and...

    October 2014 Car Rentals.

    I guess I'm in shock and can't figure out what's going on - sorry to keep posting! The $398 rate from 2 days ago is now $455! This is the 4th year we've done this October trip - basically the same week and I don't remember anything like these fluctuations before. I am hoping again for the...

    October 2014 Car Rentals.

    I have made it a point to check Costco on a daily basis for rates for my dates - October 3 - 10. OMG! They have more than doubled in the last two days - I have a budget rate of $165 for a compact (7 days 8 hours) booked (thank goodness!) - same dates, same car class today - $398!! I know...

    Thank you gift for floor of nurses?

    First, so glad your Mom is doing better! I work at a hospital and hearing success stories is awesome! All too often, we only hear of the bad experiences. I hope your Mother continues to do well! For a more lasting gift - how about a Keurig & assorted K-cups for the lounge. A gift that...

    October 2014 Car Rentals.

    Since your reservation was prepaid, how does Budget handle rebooking at the lower rate? Did they credit back your card? Just checking. I actually have a counter rate, using your codes that is $10 cheaper than my Costco reservation, it is for a smaller car, but there will only be 2 of us...

    I think it took 2-3 days for the dollars to show up as available again (after I turned in the car).

    October 2014 Car Rentals.

    I did use a credit card, however, since I had never rented from Hertz it was a surprise to me and I thought it would be something to note. Some people don't have the means for a surprise like that. Trips are planned to penny and to some it might make a huge difference. I have an emergency...

    October 2014 Car Rentals.

    We rented through Hertz for a trip to Austin this past July. It was part of a Hyatt package deal. As an FYI - they charged us a $300 deposit in addition to $120 in taxes, airport fees, etc. that were not covered in the package. I had been prepared for the $120 (although I was told it was...

    October 2014 Car Rentals.

    I haven't checked my Costco reservation in a few weeks and found a welcome sight of 1's instead of 2's at the beginning of the price. I saved $26 by rebooking. Like they said above, every little bit! $184 all in - Budget Economy level - October 3 - October 10 (picking up one Friday at 9:30a...

    halloween horror nights for next year (2014)

    I just purchased our Express Pass for one of the nights we will be at HHN - Sunday, October 5. Are you able to use the pass all night - or only once per house? What is the best use of the pass - I read not to use it right away when you exit holding. For those who used "print at home"...

    halloween horror nights for next year (2014)

    I have a couple of questions: What time do they usually let you out of the holding area near Finnegans? What is the other holding area if you are already in the park? Is it better to be in one place over the other? Thanks for your input!

    HHN Ticket Question

    I knew I had read the answer somewhere (or something close) - please forgive me for posting, I sincerely can't find it! We have a multi-day park hopper ticket that includes HHN admission (not purchased from US). Is it possible to add HHN Express Pass or even a RIP Tour to an already...
