AofA Cars Suite with free dining?

[pjhootch]

As good a place to start a trip reservation as any?

lol. I finally gave in to the concept that having a package and everything prepaid was maybe worth not saving a ton of money. I am not sure how long I can hold out before I start trying to nickle and dime and second guess myself, but for now, I've got the package reserved.

We are a 5 adult family (the two youngest are 25) when we travel to WDW so the FD discount has only ever made sense if we all cram into one room together. And that is really not the most comfortable way to travel with grown kids.

We will be there the 16th - 23rd of December so the dates coincided with the FD package out now. It does kind of bite that the moderates only have the QS plan so I decided to grab the family suite and upgrade to the regular dining plan. Even with the mandatory park hopper tickets that I wouldn't normally purchase, it doesn't seem to be any more unreasonable a price than if I tried to put all the elements together on my own.

Now I need to not start tinkering with the reservation or wondering if I can do better by changing something.

For people looking for the FD discount, check back every day because the availability seems to be changing frequently. This room wasn't available the last couple of days, but was there when I checked back again.

My son loves it there
Last 3 trips we stay there
Cost more but 2 bathrooms, more room

It will be cheaper to get two rooms at a value resort like POP plus you will have four real beds and two bathrooms. Since your kids are older if you don't get connecting rooms no big deal.

It would be cheaper to just get two value rooms instead of the suite, but they are not available during the dates I want with dining. i could do it that way without the dining- and I definitely thought about it. . The only value resort open is the suite we got. I think there are rooms for the special available at CSR, but that was the only moderate I saw come up fpr those dates.

If I dont lock myself in somehow I may wind up going to a deluxe hotel just for the sheer joy of playing around with the reservation.

Now there is a reason NOT to lock yourself in!!! deluxe resorts are awesome! LOL!

I like the deluxe resorts, believe me. I just get cranky about paying for them. I don't expect a RO discount for the dates we will be there- but if they did put out a RO discount I would snap that up and get rid of the FD package. AND IT BEGINS. lol.
