I would also like to know. Right now I plan to stay at the airport because the flights get in late in the afternoon. I don't want to deal with renting a car. BUT if it means saving a couple of hundred dollars, maybe it's a good idea just to head to the port area, being that we'll all still be on CA time. We will be using a limo service for a van, but we can just as easily take that the night before.Has anyone decided where they are staying yet. I don't think I am going to stay at the airport. I was thinking of doing something near the port. I tried a couple different one's but it said it was still early. I think I can do it at 11 months out it said. I was all excited at the one year mark and then nothing.
San Diego doesn't have nonstop flights to Orlando, though it is more convenient. LAX has several well-timed nonstop flights, but it would require a car rental and possibly an overnight stay. I guess it depends on whether we fly with my parents and sister (LAX is most convenient for them). Burbank also might have a nonstop.
When it gets closer, have someone here in southern CA, like me, check stores like Vons and Costco. They will have "discount" tickets that are only available for purchase here. We can purchase them for you. You might end up saving at least a little.
WOW - that would be GREAT!!......as I am pricing tickets and the DL resorts I am a bit in sticker shock...........I am so spoiled with all the Fl discount rates we get!
MC there last year (A picture with me in it is on miceage). It was fantastic. The El Capitan is an true theatre so they did the stage up with props while their award winning organist plays Disney music, then the shows starts, the prop cannons blow and a giant 6ft skull warns "Dead men tell no tales." It's like being at a rock concert. The audience claps and yells. Who Hoo! I'm so excited.
In the basement of the El Capitan, they bring in several props from the movie and you walk through just like a museum. I must remember to bring my camera. 3 hours long!

BTW, does anyone on this board also post on the other cruise boards (three circles, cruisecritic, etc.)?? I find it kinda weird that there are other "families" out there. No one's as fun as us, though!
I know the feeling--I can't justify going to Disneyland and paying rack rates for the resorts!
My husband took that one, I think. I took Delta at 10 am (I refused to fly on the same airplane just in case something happened....we left the kids with my parents). United also has one. If we plan this right, we can have a DIS meet at airport!!
This is a good way to save $$ too!
I think our decision will have to be made sooner rather than later! These hotels will be booked by the fall, I bet, if not sooner!I have already booked my rooms at the Country Inn & Suites because they have a family room that has 3 twin beds and 1 queen. My boys are at the age where sharing a bed is like inviting the party to last all night or ringing the bell for a WWF fight match.
Last time we stayed at the Radisson. It was very nice. The pool was awesome and the buffet was nice. The room we got was standard so with everyone crabby from a long flight, sharing a bed became a punishment for two, a reward for the one with the rollaway and a headache for Mom and Dad.
