    best way to buy AP?

    We're nearly all set for our holiday in May. Disney part is all set. I have booked 3 nights at a universal hotel, PBH, at AP rate. I planned to buy universal tickets for my 3 adult sons from American attractions which seems to have the best rate (UK) ( £217). I've looked at buying AP on-line...

    CBR refurb -what would you do..

    Thanks all. Feeling better after a nights sleep :rolleyes: Cancelling not an option -flights non refundable and cost about £2000! I've spoken with disney (after 40 min hold then lost line and 35min hold -thankfully it's a freephone number!)- as others have said, any change will cost and no...

    CBR refurb -what would you do..

    I've just received the e-mail from Disney about planned refurb at CBR. It sounds MAJOR. ''There WILL BE construction work and ADDITIONALLY, the food court, the dining room, the shop and the pool bar WILL BE closed for refurb..'' :( It's a very expensive trip for us. Myself and 3 DSs to celebrate...

    Five adults staying on site with no car

    Thanks all. Lots to consider. Transport would be the big issue with Bonnet Creek I think Wayneg, though that was a great price. I won't drive over there although maybe as my son will be over 25 he could be persuaded. I think two rooms in a moderate might be best. Think I might like a change...

    Five adults staying on site with no car

    Thanks Scoobydooby. yes, I'm considering two beds at moderate. The advantage there seems to be £200 gift card for each room. The one bed at OKW came up when I had a look at the WDW site for 5 -not sure if the bed in the room is same size or smaller than the beds at POR which I know? I assume...

    Help with hotel/suite family 6 near disney no car

    We stayed at Staybridge suites in Lake Buena Vista a few years ago. Very nice suites with kitchen. I remember a baby pool beside the pleasant adult pool but no slides etc. Free wine/beer/ nibbles/barbie some evenings. We used the free coach transfers but it's very restrictive and wouldn't be...

    Is dp upgrade worth it?

    Thanks for all your thoughts. I'm sure I will want at least a few sit down served meals in that time and on site as I'm not driving. Can anyone direct me to up to date menu with prices? Also I'm not sure if I can leave decision about upgrading to much nearer the time or is it likely that...

    DH thinks it's impossible

    I know this sounds negative but please don't get in to debt for a holiday. Wdw is like an addiction. It is a wonderful holiday but you can have other lovely holidays with your family that are within your budget. If you can work something out within a carefully thought out budget with all...

    planning mode again - October 2013

    Thanks for the help. I am sorely tempted with OKW -I'll need to remind myself about park opening and such to workout whether staying near a good CS is best or not. Thanks for suggestions re BA flights -I know I can book via quidco but will look at other options.
