I would like to take my family to Disney World I want the best deal to have the best time. 4 adults and 2kids |
Travel Info I would like to take my family to Disney World I want the best deal to have the best time. 4 adults and 2kids Travel Tips This is my answer to a similar question. The first is on the best time to go to Disney and the second is on the way to get the best deal in Disney. As I said below a travel agent could really help you. A travel agent could help you to really get the best deal and find the best situation to follow. There is no added fee for the service and it can really help you out. There are some rooms that would accomodate your entire party, but in some cases it is less expensive to get two seperate rooms. Hope this helps! Here are my answers: For the lowest rates you want to go during off season or regular season. Peak season is not only more expensive than the rest of the year, but it is also really busy. This is my answer to a similar question. You may also find this link helpful: http://mousetrips.com/faq1.html............ and this one: http://mousetrips.com/crowdpattern.html.... Hope this helps! Here is my answer: Disney has been so busy lately that you cannot go without having some crowds. However, there are times where the crowds will be minimal compared to other times of the year. It is definately time for Disney to open another park to accomodate more people. Try going during value or regular season. Stay away from peak season. Not only will you save money over going at peak, but it will be much less crowded. I have also included some snippets from my answer to a similar questions. Christmas time is one of the most beautiful times of the year. Each resort is decorated for Christmas and the decorations are beautiful. If you go during this time you have to visit the resorts. They have a carousel made out of chocolate, a a very large gingerbread house and other amazing things. Plus, the christmas trees are beautiful as well. Also, the whether is nicer. Usually it will run in the low 70s during the day. If you are near the water it is a little cold and windy, but not too bad. Also, the parades in the park are themed for Christmas and very nice to see. However, if you have never been to Disney, you may want to see the regular parades. The crowds can be bad, but I have gone several times during Christmas and it is a great time of the year to go. I highly recommend staying away from the time around July 4. During this time almost all of the parks will close due to capacity. So lines are extremely long and it is terrible to try to get around. Also, it is very hard. Combine the large crowds and the heat and it can be misserable. You will not have as much fun if it is this hot and crowded as you would otherwise. however, the fireworks during this time are spectacular and will not dissapoint. But you have to wait a long time in order to see them from a good location. I usually prefer going after school has started. September/October is a great time. The weather is nice, crowds aren't and big as the other times of the year. If you go in value season you can save yourself some money. Keep in mind, Disney will often do refurbishments during this time because it is not as busy, so some attractions may be closed while you are there. But it easy to find this out ahead of time. Also, if you go in October you can go to Mickey's not so scary halloween. This is a must see if you go during this time. The park is closed early that day and you have to have another ticket to get in. But there is a fraction of the people in the park. There are rides open and you basically walk right on. It is nice to be there when it isn't as busy and it is really neat as well. Plus, if you have kids, it is more kid friendly than the Universal Halloween party. THE SECOND ONE I book all my trips through http://www.mousetrips.com They are absolutely wonderful. They know everything about Disney and can help you to plan the best trip. They have the same prices as Disney, but will be there every step of the way and help you get the most out of your trip. In my opinion the best offer Disney has right now is the Disney park hopper with water parks and fun option and the Disney meal plan. The meal plan will save you, on average, 40% off of your dining. You will get to eat at much nicer restaraunts and still save money. This is a great plan and I have used it every time since it came out. The ticket this year also has a big discount. I think it is one you reach a 5 day ticket that the price per day per person only goes up about $1.00, that is a great deal. The water park option will pay for itself after 2 visits to a water park or Disney Quest. Disney Quest is one of my favorite place to go in Disney, so I love this option as well. I would book air through an online discounter though. The prices on air from Disney is not discounted at all, so you will pay full price. Just remember, all the prices for Disney are going to run the same. Disney does not offer different prices to different companies. The only way to get a discount, unless Disney releases a code, is to go with room only. However, you will not be saving much considering Disney has so many great deals this year with tickets and dining. Also, you can purchase an annual pass to get a discount, but the same problems apply. With the prices of tickets this year, you usually won't be much better off paying for an annual pass. As I mention below. I think you could really use the assistance of a travel agent. They will really be able to help you get the most out of your budget to get the absolute vacation. http://www.mousetrips.com/ is a fabulous agency and they are so helpful, they will really be able to help you put together a great trip. I don't recommend an online discounter such as expedia, priceline, etc. Remember, a good deal and the best option are not always the same thing. I have known several people that have booked with an online discounter, only to arrive and discover they have no room. This is a terrible way to start your vacation. Although you may still be able to get a room, it is very upsetting to get there and discover this. A discounter may get you a slightly lower price, but you may also be losing out on alot. disney ocassaionally drops codes that will be far better than the discount you could get online. AAA and online discounters will not change rates if they do come out for you. Also, if you book with an online discounter, you are on your own. You have to take care of any problems or any additonal things you want. I've had a few experiences with AAA and I wasn't satisfied with them. I booked a big trip and they never told me disney dropped a code that would save me more than $500, they wouldn't book me dining, tours etc. So even though I booked through them I didn't get anything special. I highly recommend contacting a travel agent to help you with the planning. I always use a travel agent, they don't charge extra and they can answer all your questions and make it so much easier on you. It makes the trip more enjoyable. I use http://www.mousetrips.com/ and they are absolutely wonderful. Not only has my travel agent saved me a ton of money over the past few years. But she has helped me plan wonderful vacations and get the most out of my trips. She books everything for me, from my trip and tickets, to insurance, town cars, rental cars, dining, tours, etc. She is wonderful. There is no added fees so for me it wasn't a hard decision to make, but the expertise, superb quality of business and knowledge they provide is priceless. If I email her a question, she has a response to me in minutes. I would never go to Disney without booking my trip through her because of how wonderful she is. Hope this helps, if you need anything else just let me know! Below is my answer: Hello, This depends on what your budget it. This year Disney has really great prices out for families. If you really want to experience the trip of a lifetime, I really think you would want to stay on site. It is so much easier and more convienient for you. Rather than driving to the places you want to go you can hop right on to Disney transportation and go to the places you wish. Plus, if you stay at an off site resort the transportation times are scheduled, when the little ones are tired it can be a pain to get back to the hotel. Plus, you are less likely to fully utilize your tickets because you are less likely to go to the park when you have to wait for hotel transportation. Now, back to your package. I suggest staying away from July, this is the hottest time of the year and it can get pretty miserable. If you must go in July try to go before the 4th, if not before, go after. To save you more money, value season begins August 27 and continues through October 4. Regular season is April 23, August 26. Going in value instead of regular will save you quite a bit of money. Disney has their value, moderate and deluxe resorts so just about any budget will be able to go. They also release special codes once and a while that make prices even lower. Tickets this year are especially nice. You can choose how many days of tickets you want, if you are going 7 nights and only want 3 days of tickets, you can do that. But they have made it an incentive this year for increasing the days of tickets by making it very inexpensive to add on an extra day. For example, 2 adults and 2 children under 9 can from from a 7 to an 8 ticket for less than $9. Then, if you wish you can add on park hopping so you can visit more than one park in a day. You can also add on water parks and more which includes visits to the Disney Water Parks and a few other features. Also, if you don't plan on using all the days on your tickets you can purchase the no experation option. The best thing Disney has done this year for their value traveler is their new dining plan. For the first time that I can remember, Disney has a dining plan that is worth the extra cost and will usually save you 40% or more off of your dining. The most budget friendly plan includes one counter-service meal, one table-service meal and one snack. It's a great deal and is sure to save you lots of money. I suggest looking into all your options, there really is a lot of different ways to go. Again, I highly recommend staying on site if you really want to have the trip of a life time that your grandkids will never forget. I would recommend you contacting a travel agency. They can help you with the booking and answer all your questions so that you are sure to get the most out of your vacation. If you have never been to Disney or if you are unfamiliar with what they have to offer, it can be very difficult to book a trip on your own. Source(s): Personal experience Other Travel Tips If youve got triple AAA i think they've got some good deals on that sort of thing.. priceline.com.....period Modified 1 year ago i use expedia .com,they beat everyone elses price First of all, stay at one of the "All-Star" resorts. There are movies, sports, music and maybe one other. They're Disney's version of Holiday Inn. Next, DO NOT GO DURING THE SUMMER!!!! I cannot stress this enough. I'm a Florida native and worked at Disney and there is nothing that will ruin a vacation faster than standing in line for 2 hours next to a smelly foreigner that hasn't bathed recently. The best time to go is the week after Thanksgiving. All the Christmas stuff is up and NO CROWDS! Check Disney's website to see what specials they're offering. Most importantly--be organized. Do not waste time with "So, whadya wanna do today?" There is too much to see. Know the times the parks are opened (be there at opening) and what attractions you really want to see. Also, take snacks with you and something to do if you do have to wait in line (like blowing bubbles). Checkout www.allearsnet.com. They have the best and most up to date info on all the parks. Great website! |
