We usually stay at Beach Club, but have always wanted to give GF a try. We just budgeted it in. Usually we go in August, so instead we booked November to allow extra time to pay for it. It's still a good deal considering. We looked at doing London, UK this year instead, and it was still a lot more. I will admit when I made a $600 payment yesterday and it was $768 is stung a little!! We only go cash paid in full, so we watch the exchange rate constantly.
As was mentioned upthread, Disney used to offer Canadian at Par specials. I also hope they start doing that again this year.
Unless a really good deal comes out we won't be going. We could afford it but considering it will cost us 25% more than going elsewhere within Canada just doesn't seem like a good financial decision. We've been going to Disney every two years for the past 8 years. If they were to offer an "at par" deal or a Canadian residents special offer then hopefully that would make up for the difference in the exchange. My fingers are crossed!!!! Our other choice is to use points and get universal tickets and go there instead.
