I'm bring 3 of my older kids on a 4 night trip Oct 16-20. As most of you know, it appears these dates will be blacked out for free dining. I'm hoping for a room discount, but not sure about that either. The total for our hotel (Coronado Springs) is 867.00. This includes tax and free transportation to/fro airport.
I've looked at some other places in the DTD area, specifically Doubletree Suites. I know Mousesavers and some others have discounted rates, but as we've all suspected - there is something very special about this time frame, as a quote for my 4 nights was 124.00/night plus 153.00 for taxes & services fees for a total of 649.00. Then I have to pay for round trip town car service - say 130.00 (110.00 plus gratuity both ways), bring my off site stay to 779.00.
Yep, it's cheaper - by 88.00
Everybody looks at things differently. Since we'll be without a car, we'll depend solely on shuttle. Also, since my kids are early 20's, we'll be coming and going as we please. Shuttles are the reason I would consider the DTD area as they run every 30 minutes.
What is your breaking point? How much cheaper does your quote need to be before it is worth it to you to move off site?
