I've got a question for my fellow Commando's. First off I'm sorry I haven't on much, as finances are tight, and have been battling a nasty knee that I'll get confirmation late Aug that I'm going to need surgery on it. I've been saving for the past couple of months, for a DISNEY trip sometime in Jan/17. When I checked my fav airlines website, I discovered that for around $400CDN more I can afford WDW staying at the Coronado Springs for a 7 day trip versus a budget hotel in DL for 5 days. Regardless the trip would be booked with this airline. So my question to my fellow Commando's is it worth going to WDW for 7 days?? Realistically we would have 5 days in the parks. Is this viable since none of us have ever been to WDW before?? I really wouldn't be able to book till Sept/16 as I couldn't afford to before then. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. At this point I'm researching both trips, and won't make a decision till around June/16 when I see where my finances are at. I've told the kids that we are going somewhere in 2017, but they don't know where we are going. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. I'm just saving like crazy, as I've also got a solo trip to Las Vegas later that year, I may turn into a trip to Baltimore for the family, proving I can find cheap airfare. Thanks and have a great day!

IMO 5 days is enough to get everything done, usually we have everything pretty much done in 3 1/2 - 4 days and would already have some second time around items in if it's during Christmas season you would definitely need at least a extra day or 2 to get in all the shows, parades etc.
Glad you had a great time and there were no mishaps. How did you get the free Memory Maker?
The Memory Maker was offered free to AP holders during a certain booking time, luckily we were going in the time span they were offering it, that's a nice $150 savings
As far as mishaps there was Tampa Busch Gardens has the worst directions as fas as signs, we got off at the exit that said BG followed the road after awhile I stopped to ask directions we were about 15miles off, then on the way back we followed the exit that said to I 4 not one sign after that so I got on 75 after about 50miles I saw a sign that said Orlando got onto 50 then found out Orlando was 62miles, it was a pretty neat ride I saw a place that had dozens of 442,s that needed to be restored, this led us to I 4 around The Holy Land attraction, now we were about 12miles to far north, but I knew where I was now, we then went to HS and made it in time to use our FP for Rock n Roll Rollercoaster & Fantasmic
