So, I've been driving myself crazy working through all the possibilities and choices for our next trip....but in all honesty I'm confused and could use some help. I know I have time but I don't want to miss my best opportunity, could someone please point me in the right direction?
I have a voucher for a 3 day/4 night Club level Deluxe stay. When this was given to me as compensation/apology for a really bad experience last year I was warned firmly,twice, that it can not be used as part of a package. So.... I'm guessing it must be an important factor and don't want to mess things up.
We are hoping to go Jan-Feb 2012. Me, DH, DD11 ,DD11, DD9 at time of travel. We have the 3 day/4 night Club comp stay... but since we will need to fly I wouldn't go for less than 7 days...IMO it's not worth the hassle for 3 days. We want to stay at the Beach Club for our free portion, and strongly prefer to stay there the other portion. However, club level is not something I care to pay for on our income at this time, so it will require a room change. To save BIG $ I might be persuaded to stay at Saratoga, New Orleans or the new Pop (if open) for our paid portion.
Some of my questions are...Would I need to make two separate reservations? How does that work with flight and tickets? Does that mean we can't have the dining plan when we are on the comp stay? Must we purchase tickets separately for the 3 day stay and then the remaining days? What type of promotion would be most cost effective? A 40% off room only or a buy 2 day get 3 free type of thing? Can I do a package but not end my DW stay on it?
I was thinking that my best option would be to hope for a % off room only for the first 5 days, get dining with that. We liked the Table Service plan and do have some Table Service resturants that are a must for us. But purchase 8 day tickets from AAA or mousesavers, etc. Then move to the club level, snack there and pay OOP for meals but still use the tickets. Does that work? Any ideas???? WWYD?
Thanks!
