Is this a good deal??????

[angbuz]

Just booked our trip for April 28th thru May 4 using the free hopper upgrade code. This is what we got:

7 days/6 nights at POR w/water view room. 5 day park hopper tix w/free water park fun & more and DDP for 2 adults and 2 children. The grand total is: $2,651.20.

I'm hoping this is a good deal.

You saved $198 on the ticket upgrade.

I just booked at POR for July 8-15 (7 nights) for 2 adults and 3 children without any upgrade and also including the DDP and water view as well. Our total was $3,975, but it includes one more night and one more person.

That seems like alot. We booked CSR for July 7-14 7 nights for 2 adults and one child under 10 with the upgraded tickets and DDP for $2880. Are your kids over 10?

We're going right around the same time - April 25th to May 1st. Also 6 night, 7 day at CBR (another Mod resort), with 2 adults and 2 children. We did not do the park hopper (but we got seven days-minimal price increase) and do not have a preferred room. We went through AAA and got the whole thing (including dining) for $2,342. You have two less days, but the park hopper and water parks - about $300 more. I think this is the same quote we got from Disney, which is why I went through AAA. Park hoppers weren't worth that much to me, and my kids are too little for the water parks...

We booked POR for Aug 21st to the 27th. (6 nights 7 days) for family of 3 adults (grandma is comming) and 2 childrent. We have a code that saved us $400, and only getting basic park tickets since it will be hard on grandma and our 5 year old to park hope a lot and our total was $1754.

We booked May 2- May 8. Hopper, water park and more and DDP for 2 adults and 2 children through AAA for $2084.00

I booked POR for 7 nights with dining, 5 day park tix w/ waterparks and hopper for 2 adults and 3 children for $3777. Tinkerbell, if your not getting the upgrade why aren't you getting a AAA discount?

Can't figure out how you did this - are you staying at a mod or a value??

CBR. I originally was going to do Pop and then I decided to go with CBR because some friends of mine are going at the same time. My neighbor is an AAA rep and I asked him if I could change. I told him to let me know what the difference in price would be. He never got back to me. I have the confirmation from Disney. I am going to pull it out because now I am wonderig if there was a difference and what it was. This was a few weeks ago so i would hope that he would have told me the difference. I saw him this afternoon and he didn't say anything. I will have to get back to you on this one cause I don't want t big surprise in the end!

My kids are 8 & 4. Seems like some of you got better deals going through AAA. We don't have AAA.

Did you book through Disney or AAA? Why is my price so much higher? Did you book with a code or a 40% off or something?

I would check - I don't want to be a downer or anything, but the mods are usually higher than the values. If your price is right, can you get me the name of your AAA TA? That's a great price!

You can check the disney site and just price it out without hopper/wp and you should get the same amount.


That is regular season making your room 185/nigh+tax
6 nights room 1248.75
5 day tickets about 800
($2 per person for each additional day btw amazing how cheap it is to add ticket days at that point)
Dining plan about 100 per night = 600
Total about 2650.

Looks like your quote was right on the money for giving you exactly what you expected - free hopper/wp which is valued (according to the disney website for advance purchase tickets) at about $350.

Do you have a "room with a view"? The Op also has the water view room which added $20 per night plus tax. AAA would have saved you about 167. add that to the about 135 total for the extr view and you get the 300 difference.

We booked thru Disney...POR standard room...from April 29th - May 6th...7 nights, 7 days of ddp, 7 day park hopper and water parks and more for $3553.00

AAA gave us the same deal. So I chose to book directly thru Disney. We have 2 Adults and 3 kids ages 14, 13, 8.

6 aaa nights at a mod, regular season, standard room = 947ish
base tickets for 2 adults 2 under 10 children = 800ish
ticket upgrades (per disney site) = 350ish
dining for 6 nights 2 adults 2 under 10 children = 600ish
total 2696

6 aaa nights at a value, regular season, standard room = 568
package = 2318

Dining not having been added - would put the mod price to be about right
otherwise it just doesn't add up...unless aaa agents get an even better deal that she was able to pass on to you.

I left my neighbor a message on his voice mail to just confirm my total. My invoice from AAA says CBR with total cost, but I am still worried because it's not directly from WDW. I am going to call this morning and check CBR to make sure that they have my reservation.
I always do my trip reservations on my own and this time i decided to use someone else.
As far as discounts, AAA is a bit of a difference in price than booking directly. Maybe he gave me and employee discount, although I am just someone he sees occassionaly in the neighborhood, we are not good friends.
I will let you guys know what the outcome is.

Nope - no preferred room. We did that one year, and really couldn't figure out what the benefit was. We don't mind walking a little further. Anyway - you're on with the $ amounts. However, AAA also saved us on the dining plan - about $25 (I know, small amount, but I'll take it) and they were offering a free $25 disney gift card for booking in January, so we got that too

I still wanted to get a code though Oops, different thread...

Angbuz! I think I remember you from planning our May 2004 trip! We both stayed at POFQ!!!!!

We are going back for 7 nights from 5/9-5/16 at CBR with 8 day hoppers/waterparks and the dining for 2 adults/2 children
for $2828. I am going through Dreams Unlimited this time but I got the same exact quote from AAA. I chose the ticket upgrade over the AAA discount.

Good to see you guys are going back!!
