Just wondering how many people do the same thing I end up doing. My wife isn't big on disney (oh the horror of it) so I get to do all of the planning.
Free dining came out so I convinced her to stay at WL (her and my son like WL). It was only 3500, not too bad for oct 26 - nov 1. Issue is all that was avail was bunkbed room and my son hates the bunkbeds
So after looking everyday, a normal 2 queen bed room opens up and I switch to that and save around 200 as well
All is well. Then the main pool is to be closed during our trip. For me not a deal breaker, for the wife and kid it is. So we switch to AKL for about 4-5 hundred more. Again though only thing avail is a bunkbed room
We are now in aruba and staying in a one bedroom villa for the for time in our lives. It is so much better to have a kitchen and separate bedrooms. Of course now I had to change again our disney vacation. Now we are doing a one bedroom villa in kidani village. No free dining was available so I switched to the fall discount offer and also added a day so that we leave on sat the 25th instead of Sunday. If not tied to free dining doesn't make sense to me to wait until Sunday to leave. We are now up to 5000 for the vacation and that doesn't include any food! That also doesn't include my wife booking
mnsshp for the 28th without realizing I already booked it for the 26 and 31st. Yikes I think we are going to be double the 3500 original cost.
Also it is sooo strange being in aruba with no adr's or fastpass+ to get to. No rope drops. Just relaxing. All I can say is I can't wait for end of oct!!!!
