Do you need a package to stay at Disney Springs Resort?

[brave321]

Don't know if this belongs here in Disney Resort or the Orlando Hotels, feel free to move it if necessary.
I was looking on the website and it seemed like I would have to buy a package with tickets in order to reserve a Springs Resort. I already bought my tickets, will I not be able to book?

No you can book directly with the Disney Springs Hotel of your choice room only. Check out mousesavers.com web site. They freq post discounts for some of the hotels.

 

[Lynne M]

Nope, no package required.

The Disney Springs regulars hang out over on the Orlando Hotels board, so I'll send this there.

No. I also saw that trying to use the Disney site that it required a package.

I actually priced out my Sept trip and it was interesting ..
.... Disney was a package, the others were room only and then tickets.

Booking the B Resort for 4 nights in September with 5 day tickets:

Disney came out $1457
B Resort direct with their own discount came out $1515
Mousesavers discount (included waived resort fee) came out $1165

Look at Mousesavers, DisneySpringsHotels.com and direct with the hotels for their specials for rooms only. Then you should have your reservation linked on MDE.

I was able to book with mousesavers. Thanks so much!! And yes, it did seem to be a bit cheaper with them than going with disney or the direct website which was odd. I wonder why it only shows the package option on disney's website. Thanks for all the help!!!

Glad you were able to get a good deal! You can sign up for the mousesavers news letter for future trips, they send out “ Hot Deals” which are different than their regularly posted discounts. Which hotel did you book?

I heard the Holiday Inn was pretty nice too. When we decided to arrive a day early I booked Doubletree with mousesavers code and had room discount plus free breakfast. A very nice 1 bedroom suite for a fraction of the price of WDW all stars suites. And free breakfast!
