ISO: Your advice, opinions & comments re: discounts for our stay, please?

Once again my brain has went into overload. Basically, we just want to go to Disney on a great deal! But in my befuddled condition I can't make sense of which option is best for us.

Here's the 411:
Who: Me, DH, DS11, DS6
When: May 13 - 22, 2006
Can't change the dates with DH employer so we're "locked" into those dates.

DH, DS10 and I each have a 1 day MYW base ticket.
DS10 and DS 6 each have APs.
We still have 17 WaterPark Plus Options leftover from a 2002 trip.

We always stay at CBR but want / need to save money on this trip so we opted instead for POP. But there are no AP rates available for our timeframe at POP.

I've played around with some different figures but I can't seem to get a good deal like I've always been able to - Free Dining last year!!!

With the APs the boys have and leftover WaterPark Plusses, getting tickets from a site via MouseSavers ... am I just gonna have to face the harsh reality of paying rack rate at POP?

So I ask you, oh wise ones of the Dis ... have I overlooked something? Don't get me wrong, we'll still go to Disney but I love getting a good bargain and it's killing me to not have found one this time around.

Thanks in advance!!!

If you're an AAA member you may be able to get a room only rate that way.

If you really want dining, you'll need to get a package with 1 day base tickets again and you can get free hopping and plus (which I know you don't need). Than hold 2 of the 1 day tickets and upgrade the others to the number of days you need this way everyone will have hoping priv. to go with the 2 AP's. (and yes, Disney got you as you are now sitting around with several 1 day tickets)

If you can't get the ap rate and don't have AAA it looks like you are stuck with rack. While it's not a great rate it's better than paying rack for a deluxe
