Could it get any better!!!!

I am still in shock what I am paying for our next Disney trip. We are starting and ending our stay with an AP of $89 at CSR to maximize our free dining points. In between also staying as CSR with MYW free dining package for 8 nights. Then of all things, Southwest just lowered fares to $49 each way from Baltimore/DC so...

For 10 nights, 11 days with 9 day hoppers and free dining and our airfare all taxes included....

$2453 for 2 adults and 1 child

Woohoo - I can't not wait until Sept 30th!!!!

Good for you. Have a great trip. There is nothing better than to save extra money to use to buy more stuff.

Good for you! There's nothing more rewarding than a nice discounted trip!!! Have a Magical vacation! I WISH I could find a great rate on airfare! The cheapest I can find is $230. Oh Well

On my way to check Southwest prices. We might need to book another trip.

Great deal!!

Question? How can you maximize even though you are adding a day in beginning and end of your trip. Do the credits not expire? How does that work? Thanks

I am sharring your excitement as we speak. After reading your post to my husband we checked Southwest for a possible trip in October and he said "book it" as we were looking and now were going back. Thank you for your post.

Wow, I would love to get those prices when we go to Disney. Especially for our first onsite trip. Hubby might let me make Disney trips more often if I could get away with those prices.

Southwest just lowered ours to $57 each way from RDU to MCO! We booked it!!!!

So here is my prices.
2 adults 1 child, staying at Pop for 8 nights, 9 days with 8 day park hopper plus free dining and airfare included is $1768!!! I'm so excited! We were going to drive because of the airfare prices, but when I showed hubby the ding price he screamed BOOK IT!

We're going to Disney!! Yippee!!!

I know the meals tickets expire but were going to fly in Sat Oct 1st but all the early airfares are booked for Southwest so, we decided to book a Friday night stay and since we are getting there around 7pm - I didn't want to pay rack rate for points that we may not use. I was going to just book a night at the Pop for $59 but then I would have to transfer in the AM BEFORE the parks since CSR checkin is where our tickets/points etc... will be. So we took a AP rate for CSR for Friday night and then Sat AM, I will officially check in early, get our MYW tickets and head off to a park Then we planned on leaving our last night at 8pm but we then added a week at CSR - half for my parents and then Thurs night MIL is flying in after parents leave. She wanted to stay until Mon since she is a teacher and is off for Columbus Day. So we looked at the flights and the latest we could get out was 10:50am so why pay rack rate for that too. The points will expire midnight Sun and then we will just pay for breakfast somewhere before or at the airport. It wasn't worth the $45 difference. If we came early the first and stayed late the last day, I would have kept it all MYW - it just seemed that the $90 we save on both ends is worth due to our flight times. Also we keep hearing about so many people with left over points so I figure we are actually there the ENTIRE time out points are available to us - we will utilize them better and not feel so stuffed.

Sorry I rambled

To the others, I am SO SO excited my plans and cheap airfare got hubby's to cave - so glad I am helping other Diser's out. That is why I posted - everyone deserves a really good cheap trip to Disney!!!!!
