Will you post again once you get your Ding on Sunday? I'd really appreciate it!

Did you talk him into flying, mickeynewe? The fares came up again today and I was actually thinking of changing our dates, but didn't go through with it. (I don't want the trip to be over as soon as the summer begins, but I SO want to save the $$$$$!)

What do you think the chances are he will regret that decision about 2 hours into the car ride with two teenage girls (daughter bringing her best friend) and an over-excited, Disney-fan wife asking, "are we there YET?" hehehe

If there is a little tiny white envelope on the corner of the rainbow, you right click on the icon and click on "Open ding" and the offers for that time period show up for the airports that you have chosen during the sign up process.

With a little patience you can get great deals on Ding.
