Help Booking for 5!!??

[ManCityMickey]

Hi Everyone, hope you all had a great Christmas and a fab New Year!!

Looking at using the AP way of booking a room - We all have AP's - Going to book one adult and our DD4, then adding the other three of us on as room only.

Am I right in thinking that the only way we can stay on-site would be at Santa Fe or DLH?

The 5 of us are me (nearly 40), DW40, DD12, DD4 and DMIL63.

Thanks in advance.

yes, the only way of doing that onsite in one room is to book a family room. A standard room can't take the 5 of you and you won't be permitted to add 3 guests to a room which already has 2 guests listed on the booking.

Family rooms are a lot more expensive than standard rooms, so it may be cheaper to book 2 rooms and have them interconnecting.

There are also rooms at the associated hotels which take 5 though.

If you phone DLP and ask them for a price for a family room with your AP discount you can put all 5 of you on the booking, as the price is per room, not per person, on a room only basis.

Also, have a look on Expedia to get an idea of room only prices onsite.

Thanks Elaine.

We have stayed in the Associate hotels the past three times we've been, so I really want to stay on-site. I'll give them a call tomorrow for an AP room only price.

Thanks for confirming my thoughts and giving the extra advice.

When we booked with APs it was cheaper on Expedia and going through quidco and getting 12% back made it a lot cheaper.

I just rang to get a AP room only rate and it was more expensive than booking via their website!

it often is - the rack rate for room only per night (which is where DLP gets its AP discount rates from) is usually more expensive than a package, because packages are more heavily discounted.
