To recap -- We got a package from Costco for our 5-night DL stay - party of 6 - 3 adults and 3 kids. 3 day PH tickets, 1 premium character "experience", Mickey's Morning Madness, priority seating at California Adventure shows (Alladin) and $20 Disney gift card, plus Disney pins with a lanyard or something. We're staying at the Desert Palms Inn & Suites in a room with two big beds and a sofa sleeper - the Borrego suite - with free breakfast and free parking.
Anyhoo - now that I've made the reservation, I'm compulsively checking around other DL-area hotels to see if I can put together a better deal. I keep on reading posts about these great rates for hotels, but with our bigger group, I'm just not finding those great rates for suites, and getting 2 rooms is pretty expensive. And I'm using a series of discount codes when I check the various hotels.
Fellow Costco package folks - can I relax, knowing that the Costco package is a pretty good deal? I like that the premium meal is rolled into the package, plus getting that extra Morning Madness (in addition to the Toontown morning event) will be nice for the girls - who love the little kid rides and all the character stuff.
Also, did anyone end up paying more once they got to a hotel for "resort fees" or anything additional when using a Costco package? THANKS!
