Just to give you an idea about pricing, in checking the WDW website right now under "Florida Residents" (right side, toward the top on home page), click on that and it will ask for your FL zip code, then choosing "Special Offers" on left side on next page, and then choosing "Choose Your Deal, Choose Your Occasion" (3rd offer in list) I found this for 11/4, 2 adults, 2 children (other resorts/categories were available, just used these as example):

Hope this helps!
Family of 4 with two 9-year olds. We've been trying the codes and online booking tonight and when we try to book say it must be 14 days in advance. We're on a budget so value or moderate would be fine. Florida residents with AAA.
Thanks in advance.
