Hello all,
I just paid off my three day stay at Disney for September. I still have to make up my mind for the US/IOA bit hopefully someone can assist me here.
Background: Will be attending US/IOA for my third consecutive year as well as Halloween Horror Nights opening weekend. I all ready have my park tickets so I cannot get a vacation package, onsite or offsite.
Now here are my queries:
1. If I book room only for RPR, I get the stay more pay less discount and will have to pay about 750 dollars. I would then get FOTL unlimited access, be right by the parks, and early admission into IOA???
2. If I book offsite (remember, room only) but near, I could save up to 500 dollars but will not get any of the perks above. I can pay the 500 difference, but if not necessary, it would be great to save up this amount of money. On site or offsite?
3. I will have a car, will the hotel charge for parking?
4. Tough question: I know the day I check out (if staying onsite), I can use the FOTL perk all day after checkout and leave the car parked in the resort. What happens if I am attending Halloween Horror Nights that evening (will not return to the resort during the day) and will return to the resort after midnight to claim my car??? Is it possible? I read in some thread something about before midnight.
5. Finally, two friends of mine are also flying but staying at an offsite hotel. Can I add them to our room for one night (even if they dont stay) allowing them to get room key and FOTL access as well ?(we are two in the room). I read somewhere there will be approx. 25 dollar charge per each additional person, which will still be better for them two than paying for an Express Pass. Can this be done?
6. If my wife is not doing HHN with me on the second day of opening weekend, will it be safe for her to walk back to RPR (if we decide to stay onsite) at around 5-6 pmish? Please note I would walk her back, just wanting to know.
Thank you, my trip planning is nearly complete .
