First, welcome to the DIS!!!

As far as room rates, you need to decide what time of year you are going, Disney room rates are lower in the off season, but there are four or so different "seasons" on the calendar. I am not sure when the 2010 rates come out, but you could look at the 2009 rates to get and idea.

Two rooms at a Disney value resort is pretty cheap. They are about $80 a night each. of course if you stay in a moderate or deluxe you will pay more. How many people are in your group?

A condo is nice because you get the kitchen and so much room. But staying on site is awesome, there are several perks and just being in the Disney magic all of the time, most of us Disney fans prefer on site.

There are also specials all the time, like the free food deal, which you can only get if you stay on site.

There is a sticky somewhere with the abbreviations, dh is dear (or Disney) husband, dd is daughter, etc. There are also abbreviations for for all of the hotels, rides, restaurants, etc.

HI, i remember when i was new here just a few months ago now, and in that time i have learned allot from all the very wise and giving people you will meet here. The great part is you can come here for all life's troubles and if someone can they will help answer all the questions you have. Me i went to all the sites and learned about the Mouse Savers that lead me to two great things Undercover tourist and DVC. After reading everything i could get my hands on i realized for me DVC was the way to go. Then i found the DIS and i learned what i could and now i have a ressie for March with a deluxe villa at animal kingdom lodge for a wk with a value studio for under $800. I got lucky and found a family i feel very comfortable with. Look around and learn all your options we needed a bit more space and the fridge/microwave is nice too. And if im not mistaken the 2010 prices will be out somewhere around Aug. to Sept.I wish you the best luck. OHYA a PM is private message, its silly but it took me a wk to get that one when its right in front of ya.

Room rates should come out in August.

You are unlikely to get two rooms for that much unless you get a good deal such as 40% off.

The dining plan is only available for those staying in Disney resorts.
