Is this a great deal or can I do better??

[sweetpea3812]

I am booking a 3 bedroom home from11/23/02-12/07/02 with heated pool in the orlando area, for $1200 total , taxes, pool heating, etc..seems kind of silly to ask , if anyone has found a better deal??If you have, Please let me know,,Now I have to find cheap airfare and park tickets?? and a rental car.. thanks in advance,, Laurie

I don't know if this will help you, but I found the best deal on plane tickets at www.orbitz.com

I have found my best bargains by searching the individual airlines, or car rentals. Most often Dollar Rental car has the best deals (airport locations) and Delta for airlines.

I don't know where you booked your vacation home, but a couple places to look are www.mousesavers.com or www.orlando4tickets.com they both had links to vacation homes. We are getting a 4bedroom in January and these two sites had the best reates.

I have friends with a timeshare about 5minutes from WDW that has "privacy for six". Two bedrooms and I think the usual pullout couch at Orbit II. If that could help you, email me at fkj2@netscape.net and I'll forward it on to them. That's probably Thanksgiving week so they'd need to check availability but I think they can certainly do better than $1200.

FYI - We bought our airline tickets last year in late July for our December trip when SWA air came out with a $75 RT special. I haven't seen any discounted prices going out to November and December yet

Hi...In my humble opinion this is a great deal for 14 days, especially with the pool heat...just out of curiosity what developement is it in?....Ted

Southwest only books 4-6 months in advance. Those tickets will not be available until early spring etc. Just keep checking. They have 65.00 each way from BWI now, only until aug. 02. hope this helps.

$600 a week for a 3 bedroom including pool heat is a great deal. As long as it's not 50 miles away from Disney....

For air I would keep checking Orbitz, qixo, Sidestep, and Travelocity. Also if you have a favorite airline just check their website every few days.

For park tickets the discounts out there are not so great for most everyone. Go to www.mousesavers.com and you'll find all your options.

For car rental, Dollar seems to have the best deals right now. Try MCC for a code rate.

Good luck!

That seems like a great rate for what you are getting. Just make sure u r not too far away from disney.

(For air I would keep checking Orbitz, qixo, Sidestep, and Travelocity. Also if you have a favorite airline just check their website every few days. )--Try signing up on these websites farewatchers. they will E-mail you rates whenever they go down. Me and my daughter both went to Ga. last summer for RT 198.00 for 2 tickets. I got this fare though Travelocity with their farewatcher.

As far as park passes AAA had the biggest discounts for us. You can give them a call.

We used priceline to rent our minivan and where very pleased. Save a bundle here too.

Good luck to you and have a great trip, Gina ºOº
