Celebration Trip

[4everADisneyGirl]

Hey there!!! Ok so my boyfriend and his sister are thinking about taking their younger sister to disney as a celebration trip for graduating college. I've been there many times before but we are doing our best to save money and we have a couple of questions and I am hoping that we could have a couple of the questions answered here or advice on what to do. Thank you guys!!!

Ok so my first question is regarding the DDP. I was wondering if the Disney Springs Resorts offer the dining plan as well. I know that they do not have the EMH but I don't know what they do offer.

I was also wondering what hotels offer larger rooms that would be able to sleep 5 people comfortably. We would rather have a hotel that is in the EPCOT area but if not that is ok with us!!

Thanks guys!! Hopefully that is all the questions that I have.

No DDP for Disney Springs resorts.

POR, CBR, CSR, the Family Suites at All Star Music, the Family Suites at Art of Animation, the Ft. Wilderness cabins, and most of the Deluxe resorts have rooms for 5.

I think the Dolphin can also sleep five and is in the Epcot area, but no DP there either.

If you are trying to save money, then the dining plans may not actually save you money. Do the actually math on what you are likely to order at a restaurant and what you would pay for the dining plan.

I do not eat the way the dining plans are set up so they do not save me money. The only way I would consider the dining plan is if it was free and there was not another discount that was a better money saving option. Now, if you eat the way the dining plan is set up, then it might save you money or at least be a wash versus paying out of pocket.

the Dolphin may have rooms that sleep 5 but most rooms only have two full beds. At the Swan you get two queen beds. It is also possible that they would supply a rollaway cot at the Swan or Dolphin. I would call and check it out for sure. If you qualify for any of their discounts this might well be your least expensive option in the Epcot area.

No dining plan, but, as others have said, the dining plan isn't much of a deal anymore. If you can get 5 people in one room at the moderates that sleep 5 (one person must be a young child or pretty small) then free dining might work as a money saving option. This would be either CBR or POR.

You other option would be connecting rooms (by request only) at a value resort.

Good luck!
