We rented a house right outside the park. MUCH cheaper. We were there for Christmas. Rented a 3 bed 2 bath house 5 miles ffrom the main entrance to the park for $340 for a week. Had a washer and dryer and all. This allowed us to cook and save that way to

Does this include air? The $1600 package I've seen on TV does. Hubby just said those dates would work for us, I'm checking into it tomorrow! Thanks

Really? I must have missed that. Cause I looked up and we were around that price but without airfare and that was at the Disney movie hotel the one with Woody outside it?

I don't think so. I priced air through them for my trip and it was $1,500 for just 4 of us flying out of St. Louis :shock: As of now, we are driving :cry2: because airfare is outrageous. I'm hoping for a good DING soon or for fare to drop a bit as we get closer to the date.

 

My AAA agent did apply the changes to my ressy, but it was either or. I wanted the upgrade to the waterparks, so I lost my AAA room discount (you have to pay rack rate to get the deal) however, by dropping down to just a 7 day base ticket ( I was paying for a park hopper) the $$ difference covered the AAA room rate difference. It's confusing. See, when we got there, we were going to purchase water parks and more for my 2 teens for a few days- hubby and I have no interest. This saved me a couple hundred $$ with this new special. Also if you book with AAA during the month of January- you get a $25 Disney gift card too :D

 

I'm too excited about this trip. WDW is my favorite place on earth :D

 

Oooh, I forgot to mention- I have ressies to eat at Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom- It has all the Pooh characters- My Eeyore !!!

We are planning to go for my DD's 5th birthday for a week starting Sept 17th. wish this date was included.

 

Maritza, we were in WDW the end of Sept and beginning of October in '06 and they were offering the free dining plan. Keep your eyes on mousesavers.com for any discounts or other Disney info. We found out about the deal on April 1st. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. How was the crowd during your stay?

The crowds were minimal. We stayed at the Pop Century and the only aggravating part was waiting for the buses to take you to the park or resort. At times, it seemed like 30min - 1 hour.

At the parks, the majority of the rides were maybe 10 minutes or less wait time. I would definately go back again that time of year.

I don't think the one you saw on TV includes the air. When ever Disney does a commercial, it is only for them, no air included. That $1600 commerical you saw was for a family of 4, 7 nights value resort & park tickets.

Yep, that time of the year is really good. The only time you have to watch in October is Columbus day. Most of the counties in Florida have that as a school holiday and that is when many who have Florida passes go. We were one of them and it was pretty crowded. But end of Sept and first week of Oct. is good because everyone is back in School up north by then! :)

The commercial does not include air. If flying I would purchase it seperate from a Disney package. We go in February and I have gotten great rates during that time. This year we are going again in September and then December. I am and wishing for the free dinning plan but if not that is fine. I am kind of worried that if they do offer it the crowds will be heavy. It seems to be the tread of the past 2 years. Of course that is what Disney wants. I have seen rental homes and checked into it but never that cheap. Good deal!! For the majority of the ones I looked into were $900 which included private screened in pool. Don't remember the exact website but just google it.

 

Check out www.disboards.com and mousesavers.com. You will find lots of helpful information.

Just out of curiousity. We are planning a December trip ... I know Dec codes will not come out until Aug. For those of you that have booked thru disney before what is the deposit? Is it a % or a flat fee? I was thinking of going ahead and booking and then appling the code in August if there is one that will work for our dates just wondering how much I needed to set aside for a deposit?

Nevermind found my answer.

Is anyone else here going in Dec?

We are going in July, we have rented a 6bedroom home in Windsor Hills Resort...Cheaper than a hotel ( they say they are the closest resort to disney) they are a gated community++, they have a pool with water slides, theater, playground, fitness area, you can rent townhouses, condos 2-7bedroom houses starting under 100 per night depending on the time of year. there are other resorts some much cheaper, but with all the ammenities this won hands down and during peak season we are around 225 per night, but sharing with other couples so it is soooo cheap!!! Just do searches for windsor hills resort they have several sites that have by owner or company rentals . I just tried to post on site so you could see property Sorry so long. http://www.allstarvacationhomes.com/

I see MS Mekenna you found out it was $200. for deposit. We are going in September and as far as we know December. I really want to go during the Christmas season to see how nice it is decorated. Thing for us could change at any time as we are trying to have a baby.

 

Another thing large family or anyone could do was rent points from DVC owners. It was going to cost a around $2700 a week at the Boadwalk for a 2 bedroom villa. Not bad at all when two families will split the cost. Not only will you save that way but you have the option of purchasing the dinning plan once checked in. I think it was $40. per adult per day which can be a huge savings. Many nights we spend $100.00 nearly just for dinner for the 3 of us.

Ya we are trying to decide between Dec 07 and Dec 08. DH is making me rethink 07 lol. Talking about if we save for an extra year how much more bang we could get :D. Just wish I could go ahead and book 08 now :P. Going to try for a magic and a illumination boat ride though when we go would be cool to split it with a gder ;).

We went the week after Thanksgiving and rented DVC vacation points to stay at Villas at Old Key West. We had a 2BR and it was great. I was suspect of the transportation at first, but we didn't end up using our car the whole time we were there. It was great and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. The room rates for what we had are $540 a night, but we got it for $240 a night. We also got all of the 10 and 20% discounts and other benefits of being a member.

 

Even though we were just there, I'd love to go back again. Maybe I'll tell hubby to return to work after I have the new baby so that we have some Disney vacation time again this year! I'm very tempted. :tongue1:

For everyone that's going in December, makes sure to go to Very Merry Christmas at Disney. It's seperate from the regular passes because it happens at night (7-12). They serve free hot cocoa and cookies and it's really the best thing I've ever been to at Disney. Although, I live in Orlando so I sort of take Disney for granted. But it really is beautiful. They shoot off fire works by Cinderella's castle and tell a story of love and hope. My fiancee proposed there in '05. They usually run it from the last week in November until Christmas. They limit the event to only like 500 or 1000 so people, so the lines are VERY short. You can hit everything in the park up 2 or 3 times depending on if you stop to watch all the shows and parades. Which by the way, Minnie singing "Santa Baby" was adorable. That's my input!

you must have the dining plan on your DVC reservation BEFORE check in. if you rent, the owner can call and add it for you. i'm an owner ;).
