Well, my well-planned WDW trip was almost ruined today... Back in January when we first booked our July WDW trip, I began looking for low airfares, the best flight times, etc. I finally decided on one (Am I allowed to mention the airline on here?) because of the perfect timing of the flights. We'd arrive early in the day, leave around dinner time, and felt like we were going to get the most out of the first and last days of our vacation. So I paid for the flights and was relieved to not have to worry about that part of the trip.
Fast forward to today, months later. I happened to be off of work and decided I would call to inquire about seat assignments. It wasn't a big deal and I figured if I didn't do it today, I could call anytime in the next few months until we leave. Well, I was on hold forever, and decided to try their website instead. I put in our confirmation code, and much to my surprise and fury, they had changed our flight times completely!!!! No one had bothered to call, e-mail, or send a letter to us to let us know!!!
They had us re-scheduled to arrive much later in the day than we had planned, and leaving hours earlier than we had wanted. To make matters worse, they had cancelled many of their flights and our options were extremely limited! After hours on the phone, we were able to cancel with a full refund...and rebook with another airline.
I'm relieved I found out about this early enough that it wasn't more than a huge headache....but wanted to remind everyone to confirm and reconfirm their flight times, especially if it's important to you to be there/ leave at a certain time of day!

My husband and I stayed there back in 1998. I liked it. There were a lot of children in the pool even at night. They were even in the HOT TUB! It was a spur of the moment deal. We booked it on a Tuesday and flew down that coming Saturday! The next time we went was in 2000. Stayed at Dixie Landings. Then again in 2002, stayed at Port Orleans/FQ. So we really liked it there and are staying there again.
When our boys were 7 and 9 in 1987 we stayed outside the park in this rinky dink King's Motel. ARRGH! It was what we could afford at the time. Now we are taking our grandson who will be 9 in July We are coming back on the 13 of Oct.
