HELP! - Oct. Trip moved up to April!

[kidsicet]

We were planning a trip to WDW in October, 2005. But, due to some unforseen circumstances, we will be there April 4-11th! I am excited and can't wait, but scared that I don't have much time to plan. Where do I begin? We have our lodging taken care of, and I'm going to book the airline tonight. I've seen mention on these boards about codes for rental cars. Does anyone know any codes for April 4-11?

I am so excited! Do you think there's any chance of getting a PS for the Cinderella breakfast? I promised my kids we could do that in October (we've never been to a character meal before), but I wonder if we'd even have a chance.

How busy are the parks in early April? What is the weather like? I guess I'll be on these boards all night researching! Thanks for your help! I can't wait!

Check MouseSavers.com - Discounts on Rental Cars for codes and other hints on how to save money on a rental vehicle. Keep in mind that this will be spring break and rentals may be a little more costly due to a higher demand. An alternative would be to have a towncarservice like TiffanyTowncar handle your transportation from airport to resort and back again. This works well if you're staying onsite or at a resort that provide complimentary transportation to the parks.

The chances are slim but not impossible. The window for booking this breakfast is 90-days prior to your date. By 7:05 am of that date, all spots are usually booked. There are always cancellations and there is a chance that you could get in. Try calling everyday to see if there's anything available and keep calling once you've arrived in Orlando, if its that important to you.

You're going during spring break. It will be busier than October but the crowds won't be horrific. The Easter crowds should be gone by the time that you get there. You can expect weather in the mid-80's during the day but cooler evenings (around low 60's). Bring a sweater or sweatshirt. Unlike summer, it will not feel sticky humid nor will you get that daily thunderstorm around 3 pm. Bring a few ponchos anyway.

I booked a small car through Alamo (Cavalier or similar) for the 6th-12th for $135 including tax and fees. I checked Mousesavers first and couldn't find any this cheap with their deals. Maybe we'll see you there! We're staying at POP.

This company is in the airport, does not have long lines, and has great prices. They have a website. And best of all, your spouse is able to drive the car as an additional driver for free, most companies charge $7 per day. They also say that if you bring your own insurance policy, you may be able to decline some of the insurances they offer. We had no problem with this company, and would definitely recommend them.
