We stay at the Ramada Maingate/now Grand Legacy. While we usually go off season, we've always picked Deluxe-View rooms (used to be the "better" ones), for ~$95-$110/night. Hubby has Aarp card,
Aaa - both offerdecent discounts. Once you boox your flights - I didn't catch if flights involved - you can search for prepay & save offers at hotels. We got a free night with this option once. Our Pres week rate is going to avg $108/night.
Also, if you pick up a major Sunday paper that offers coupon inserts, Denny's almost always has some kind of special coupons - even in HI, we brought a B1G1 coupon to save a littlt $$. We tend to see more 20% off ones when we get the Sun paper inland before our DL days.
Also, Ihop will carry coupons too in the paper. No shame in bringing in a coupon!!!
Lastly, check AARP if one of you is old enough - always 10% off denny's last we checked, AAA may offer discounts too.
Our kids are young enough we got ihop on a kids eat free period, so 4 of us had dinner there for ~ $25. Check whatever hotel you stay at too - ramada usually tucks in coupons with the key cards for harbor blvd places.
So definitely many ways to save $$ out of parks. We prefer to stay in from open to close, so on non- park days, we try to eat for less.
Oh - if you have a car, get Subways made & bring in or go to Vons & get a delicious deli sandwich to bring in for lunch. Just a few options!!
