How many are there of you?? That makes a big difference when determing if a package is a good deal.

Sorry, will update original post with the info

It doesn't sound like much of a deal. You can buy two 4-Day Park Hoppers for around $400. You'd be paying over $800.00 for a room for 3 nights. a couple of pins and some miniature golf.

VW31, I think that those rates sound very good for March!

Are these prices based on Spring Dream Maker Deal? I found the Savanna price a little high and the Conceige Level a little low. I just got a quote from WDW Travel Co. for the week of 3/23/04 and the Savanna rate worked about to be $301.00 per day approx., if that helps any.

 

[VW31]

Ok, if I break down the price....

$436 for 2-3 Night Ultimate Park Hopper Tickets (From Disney Site)
$25 dinning certificate
That leaves $803 (approx $268 a night) for the Savannah View Room.

So $268 a night (inclusive of taxes) for a Savannah View room at the AKL in March is not a good rate?

Please help, I'm new to this
Thanks.

Do you plan on spending four days at all the parks?

 

[VW31]

Yes, we want to get the most out of the parks.

VW31, I just played around with the WDW site. Booking a 3 night room only reservation with the CPC (general public) code, the AKL savannah view room in March came to:

$799.50 total, or $266.50 per night

The 3 night UPHs would be $222.59 w/tax, advance purchase for a total of:
$445.18 for 2 adults

$799.50 + $445.18= $1244.68 if booked separately, without the pins and stuff.


I'm not a big fan of UPHs, but that package price is IMHO very good.

I hope that helps!! Now, back to my meatloaf.

I saw standard rooms at the AKL for $190/night for spring......
they'd have to feed me ALOT for a club level room to be worth that much more to me......and it seems you could buy your own admission for a fair amount less......

The lobby of the AKL is fabulous though....and don't forget to make reservation to eat at Boma's.....take your kids to Simba's Clubhouse and take time alone with your hubbie....fyi...the price at Simba's includes the kid's dinner......and the price you'd pay for the kids to eat at Boma's is more than leaving the kids at Simba's.....AND YOU CAN EAT IN PEACE. IT"S AWESOME!
