Need Help,Please!

[tink2dw]

We would love to eeck out 2nd trip on our AP's for $1000.00

But Airfare from northwest for 3 adults[Dh,Dw&Dd 15yr.] is $900.00!!

and then it takes all one day to get there!! and Back![thats 2 days waisted]

So, it seems a shame to go for less than at least 6 days plus the 2 = 8 days. but then it takes 2 days to do Epcot and 2 For MK and I would like to see everything at MGM so 2 more days that =6.

But we missed Sea World last time so thats 2 days[with the FREE day]that =8 days and as long as we are there I want to retun to IOA for Spiderman and the 1/2 of IOA we never got to and all the shows.that
= 9 days + 2 fly days= 11 days

Now we need a 2 bedroom Suite,cheap for 10 days.

And food money runs $100.a day = $900. for in park days,and $50 each 2 for fly days=$1000

$900. Airfare+taxes
$1000. Food+taxes
$276. +taxes Tickets SeaWorld & IOA[we have AP's for WDW]
$550+ taxes Buena Vista Suites - 2 room suite, free buffet breakfast each morning and complimentary transportation to all Disney parks - now $55 per night for a Queen Suite!!
=
$2726
opps need a rent-a-car
$350 EA National
=
$3076 now not so cheap and I don't have that kind of cash on hand.

Any legitamate Idea's to get the price down???? Please I need help?

If you have transportation to ALL the parks from your hotel, why do you need a rental car? You could save $350 there. Take one of the Towncar services or Mears from the airport & you would still save some money.

If you have a towncar they will stop at Goodings for you. You would be able to pick up some inexpensive meals, ie cold cuts, peanut butter to pack to take ot the parks. You all ready receive your breakfast at the hotel.

You might also want to ask this question on the Budget Board. They may have better ideas than I do.

Good Luck & have a great time!

I would also suggest getting rid of the rental car, even if it means paying a little more for a motel/hotel with WDW shuttle service. That saves $350. Now, if you really want to do this inexpensively, I would suggest concentrating on the Disney parks, instead of trying to visit Sea World and IOA (they'll still be there for your next full vacation). I don't like that suggestion either, but when you add it up, IOA and Sea World cost you an additional $741 above the price of WDW only (three extra days lodging and food, plus the price of tickets). A seven day WDW trip could cost as little as $1,100 above the price of airfare. You can reduce that still further if you can do without the "suite" in favor of a standard hotel room (DIS is still showing $39 at Downtown Disney).

Last of all, I'd keep checking Orbitz, Priceline, and others for cheaper airfare. If you didn't mind taking three days for the trip (and you could fly one-way and take the train the other), you might find something on Amtrak Railsale: http://www.amtrak.com
