Need advice on booking a package.

[ncbyrne]

Our airfare is booked. Used free AMEX Skymiles Oct 15-23. Trying to decide if a package (room, tickets, dining) is the best way to go. I have SOOO many questions and can't seem to get answers to everything with emails to the various Disney travel sites. I signed up for AAA today - taking advice from other DISers who say there's a 15% discount, but I can't seem to get any concrete prices. DH and I (no kids) would like to book 8 nights at Coronado Springs, 7 day base tickets, with the dining option. Any ideas on how and where to book this and get the best price?

I called AAA for our reservation this Feb/March. Keep in mind my quote is PEAK season.

We are staying at Caribbean Beach-preferred location, 8 days 7 nights(7 day Park HOPPER), and Dining Option included. 3 adults and 1 child.

The quote I got from AAA was 3004.18 with applicable taxes.

I got my quote by calling our 1-800-AAA number for my state. The quote was immediately given to me with no trouble.

I compared the AAA quote to a series of prices I had found for individual items for our trip...

Don't forget to include hotel cost, pass costs, food costs (check out http://www.allearsnet.com/menu/menus.htm to find estimated prices for where you wish to eat). I then compared that to the package cost and I think we will come out better with the package by around $200.00.

I have read on the boards that www.dreamsunlimited.com is great with quotes and getting you the best deals. You may want to check them out, too.

If you have AAA and want to book the package, you'll have to book through AAA. Go to their website, and under travel find Disney. You can request a quote.
I had a quote from them that was about $175 better than what Disney quoted - for 6nights/5days at a moderate. Good luck!
