Just had to reply to this one....I'm feeling the same way!! I think this is the most extreme that I have seen the prices in years. I checked some dates for our next winter trip since the dates for our trip had not been opened up as of yet. Just 2 weeks ago, the prices were looking pretty good and basically about the same as this Dec/Jan. Then, I was ready to book since the dates were being opened up...and DA DA! they had increased over 300 US per ticket!!! Holy crap!! Think I will be waiting a bit longer and watch them, hoping, well praying that they will come down. The summer prices are much better for us, so a summer trip may be in our future. However, we can't not go in the winter. Literally, that would devastate me!! So, guess I'll be lurking on the web for price checks as often as I visit this board!
