Booked :)

[joolz1910]

I booked 12 nights at OKW from the 18th - 30th August 2015. So pleased to have the free dining again as we loved having that last time. Also got the $200 gift card which will help towards the tips, plus 15% off at the Disney Store, so the kids will be happy. The flydrive is all booked with Virgin, so now it's just Universal Studios left to sort out.

Are there any other Disers out there from 16th - 30th? Would be nice to have a Dis-meet.

It feels so great to be booked

We have booked SSR from 16th to 30th August. We are planning to book a night at HRH in the middle of the holiday. kids don't know yet - going to surprise them at Christmas so got to think of a good way to tell them - last time we got a photo jigsaw made which they had to make

Gutted we booked for next year a couple of months ago so we could get our prefered weeks - I'm a teacher. Now I've found we could have got free dining and gift card and still got the weeks we wanted if we'd waited

Ah well, you live and learn

Who did you book with? If it was WDTC you may be able to swap the offer (depending on who you speak to at WDTC!), if not, you could cancel, lose your deposit and rebook - you will probably find it will be cheaper to do this! I have seen at least one person do this, this week.

It is worth a try to see if they will let you swap - if WDTC....

Was just about to suggest this! I think I read somewhere that there's a £50 fee if you make changes to your booking but it could be worth paying if it saves you money in other areas.

Yay - so pleased you got booked up! Did you book with WDTC in the end then? Guessing so by the offers. I couldn't get any prices to match what we are paying with them.... In fact VH want about £8k more just for the accom !

Just a thought, if you did use WDTC, did you remember to do cashback? We are getting £250 back - all going in the 'pot'!

No I went with Florida 4 Less in the end. They were £230 cheaper than WDTC and with exactly the same deal.

We had to change our dates with WDTC a few years back and we didn't have to pay the £50 as the price if the holiday increased slightly.They were very helpful.

Oh good - well, as you got it cheaper, you didn't miss out on any cb I guess! I was worried my cb wouldn't track, but I got an email last night saying it has .

I have heard good things about Florida 4 Less, so you shouldn't have any problems with linking and the like!

It's nice to have it all booked isn't it .

Like you, I need to sort out US at some point - but I know my price isn't going to be pretty - 2 rooms, early August so still 'peak rates' and a weekend ! Yikes - at least I know the FOLP will get well used !!

Then there's Discovery Cove and car hire.... But they can wait!

Cashback through WDTC would have been around £120, so the saving with F4L is almost double. I did a lot of research and they are part of the Co-op, plus they get good reviews.

I would love to do Discovery Cove with my middle DD (she is the animal lover) but the budget won't allow it

We will be at US on 16th and 17th, so we will be making good use of the FOLP's!

Dear All.

My name is scoobydooby and I am an addict

I have stopped tormenting myself and booked for 14 nights August 2015 in a one bed villa at Old Key West. In the end I could not resist the space and two bathrooms although I very nearly went with the Beach Club again! I plan to add a few nights at the beginning of the trip to stay at a Universal hotel but I'm not doing that until I can start pricing flights as this will give me some wriggle room.

So now I have two simultaneous countdowns, that's never happened before!!

27 sleeps until AKL and 15 months until OKW

Faints.......

Scoobydooby - the OKW one bedrooms only have one bathroom.

Some of the blocks have an entry through the master bedroom only but blocks 30 up have an entry through the bedroom and the laundry room. It is still only one toilet and shower though.

 

[MagicalMerida]

We booked for August 14th-28th, were staying at the Yacht club! We'll have similar countdowns! Hopefully it'll fly by!

Oh well. It's got a bath and a shower so almost as good

 

[scottish mum]

delighted you got booked

 

[joolz1910]

Yay.

[amacspad]

Congratulations. POR is my favourite resort after the Boardwalk (where I have never stayed)! It's so beautiful there. Just too small in the rooms for us now but I would happily stay here again and again when it's just me and DH. The food court is great too, as is the one at FQ so you'll have lots of choices for your free food

We stayed there last year and absolutely loved it, so peaceful and yep the food court is fab too! We are staying at OKW this year celebrating both Halloween and Xmas with full dining plan going with my dd and her bf so will be a fun but quite hectic trip so will look forward to a 'chilled out' hol next year!
