Going in April with kidlet for her birthday. The original plan was a 9pm flight out for arrival at 11 or so - we wouldn’t be back at the hotel until after midnight, so I was worried about the next day.
I thought I’d look up WestJet’s change fees because I knew there was a 7:30am flight for arrival at 10:00 or so. Turns out that over 60 days out, the fee is only $25 plus the difference in flight!
The reservations were made through Disney, so I had to call them to update...and the first CSR told me it would be $172, including the change fee. Disappointed, I said no thanks & hung up, but kept thinking about it. I swear the flights were less now than when I booked them (nervous booker - I like to have it cemented as early as possible).
Turns out, I was right! A second call back revealed that the first CSR was wrong, and it was only $50 exactly to gain nearly a whole day (plus the $27 for an extra park day of course). I cannot tell you how happy I am - it was 3.5 days to start with, and I had added the park hopper to help with the tight schedules...but now I can remove the park hopper, and we’ll have more time to relax.
TL;DR, WestJet has great change fees, and I am happy!!
