January 2012 Help?

[borovy3488]

I am trying to book a vacation checking in Jan 1 and leaving Jan 8. The best rate I can find is at Pop Century for 2315. This is for 2 adults with dining. Does anyone know of a package deal or anything with dining that could work for us?

I was hoping for free dining, but they excluded these dates from the promotion. Any ideas?

Not that I am aware of. The problem is that you are checking in on a holiday. If you adjusted your dates you would stand a better chance of being able to get a discount, such as free dining.

I could price a moderate for only $400 more. I would suggest if ou wanted the FD to move your vacation to start the 8th. If it really cant be done, IDK.....

Unfortunately we can't change the dates. My wife is a teacher, and she gets the Dec 22 through the Jan 8th off for the Christmas break. That's what I was thinking as far as the rate, which stinks!

We could change it to anytime in that range? Any thoughts there?

Another think we are thinking about doing is buying an annual pass on this trip. We are returning to WDW in May to be one of the first guests in the Art of Animation Resort. How can we look at the prices of hotel stays as an annual passholder?

If you join aaa, you can get 10-20% discount off room.
There may be a general public discount offer for your dates coming out anytime in the next 2-3 months.

A couple questions....do you want to go for a whole week? How many park days? Are you trying to get it as inexpensive as possible? What about dining? This late, I am not sure how many ressies you could make....what about just QSDp? Does it have to be sit dowN?

We would like for it to be the sit down package, we like to spend at least a week in the park, and would like to make it as inexpensive as possible with these choices.

As far as reservations, I see a few that we could make online, so we're going to start making some now.

Ok if you check in on the 2nd instead of the 1st, and leave the 8th with the regular dining plan(I counter service, 1 ts and 1 snack) and 7 day park tix, staying at POP its $1860.66 FWIW- I think that that price is better than 2300 HTH!!!
