Has anyone else noticed the 2+2 nights free doesn't apply to Saturday start dates?

[tracy021083]

found cheap flights on a Saturday but typical that the disney website only have cheap hotel prices on Sundays next June and the cheap hotel stays = expensive flights, argh!
Do they ever have the offer applied to hotel stays starting from Saturday onwards for the 2 nights plus 2 free offer?

Saturday arrivals are always way more expensive at DLP. So, I would have thought they don't include offers because of that. If you really want to be there on a Saturday (weekends tend to be quite busy, even off season, although perhaps not as busy as say a weekend at Christmas etc), then you would need to straddle the date to get an offer like that I would have thought.

It's not that I want to be there on a Saturday - I'm happy to go Monday to Friday or Tuesday to Saturday but flights are so expensive on those days.
Just having a moan and wish the cheaper flight prices corresponded with the offers on the disney hotels

are the flight prices a lot cheaper on a Saturday afternoon? Just asking, because it might be worthwhile taking those flights, booking a near-to-DLP hotel for that night, then you can transfer to your onsite hotel early next morning, in time for a whole day at the parks. Thats what I've done this time, it was £50 cheaper for me to fly Thursday early evening compared with Friday early morning, so we're doing that and will book into a nearby hotel at DLP on Thursday evening. That way, it may cost just about the same but I'm getting more holiday for my money .

Have a look for Saturday evening prices for the nearby hotels on travelrepublic etc - Kyriad, Dream Castle, Magic Circus, Explorers, see if it makes sense to consider the Saturday flight.

I will look into that option thanks for the suggestion.

It's just that the cheapest way to go is by easy jet from Liverpool even though its an hr from us and Manchester is on our doorstep. But the flights to Paris with easy jet only have decent flight times on a Saturday, the rest of the week they are tea time flights going over so you lose the first full day, unless doing what you are doing and staying somewhere else.
But the disney website doesn't include stays starting Saturdays.

From Manchester only flybe and air France have flights where you can travel out in the morning and come back at tea time - but for this it's almost £500 which just seems a lot.
The only other airline - jet2 from mcr only have a flight going out at 1pm - so still you'd lose a lot of the first day by the time you get to the hotel? But they have a tea time flight coming back. For this option it's around £440.

It's just a case of we can't have everything without paying through the roof for it that's all.

That is what I would suggest as well! It is what we would have done if we had chosen to fly!
