Dates: June 8-14 - 6 nights, 7 days
Dining Plan: None - just not worth the expense since we are light eaters and do a lot of sharing
2 adults and 2 kids (6 & 3 at time of stay)
Want hopper passes for 6 days. 7 is not needed because of an early flight out our last day.
Maybe we should just stay with what we have booked. I just want to have a great stay for my kids. I'm so confused.
I have a few thoughts and some prices, too. I, too, would not pick OKW for my child's first stay. I actually think many of the moderates are more magical and would drop your price significantly. One moderate recently added a "CL like" option which I'll get to below.
I agree to drop the hoppers. You'll save over $200 and if you find you really need them, you can always upgrade your tickets when you get there.
Here are the prices I found using the spring discount. Let us know if you are getting different pricing. I have pricing with 6-day hop and 6-day base tickets and have included WL-CL, AKL-CL (which is a little cheaper than WL and is an AMAZING resort for children) plus CSR's new Business Class, which gets you some CL amenities (plus automatically puts you in the most preferred building at CSR) and is coming in at LESS than OKW:
WL, Standard Room, CL
with 6-day hop $4782.14
with 6-day base $4,539.30
AKL, Standard Room, CL
with 6-day hop $4,660.58
with 6-day base $4,417.74
CSR, Standard View, Business Class
with 6-day hop $3,087.86
with 6-day base $2,845.02
