Are their packages worth the cost of membership?

 

[FourOrchards]

We have booked from Costco travel for the past few years. We have enjoyed having the Character dining certificates. $45 per person. We don't have little ones anymore so we just use them in the park. We have booked Disney properties so we have also received a gift card to spend in the park as well. Amounts depend on how many nights you stay.

This is from their site...

I have priced them for staying off site, and it is not a great deal. I found better deals on my own at places closer to the entrance. Tickets I get at a discount from lmtclub.

 

[smartlabelprint]

No. I'm a member and always book off site on my own.

 

[chirurgeon]

Thank you

 

[julesann]

I'm a member and I've been able to get a better discount booking accommodations on or off site on my own as well as tickets. However, I met a family at rd several years ago and they got an amazing deal through Costco for tickets and an on-site hotel. I haven't yet found a deal with Costco like this, but they are there sometimes.

The $5 rotisserie chicken is worth the cost of membership but the Disneyland packages are not a good deal anymore. AAA or using a Disney deal is best for Disney hotels but Groupon and direct have been best for me at off site locations

Those chickens are delicious!

see I got hooked on a costco membership based on car rental deals....(the first one I used,saved me like 3 years worth of membership fees value!) and stuck with them b/c of all the organic high quality foods for discounts! I never thought I'd pay for a membership to shop but I love Costco! I can't see any great disney deals tho....I wish!

 

[buttercup3]

We booked when they had a promotion for staying a 4th night free, so that helped offset any lower costs we could have gotten on our own. We also have a family of 4 and planned to do character dining and having almost $200 free to put towards that was good enough for us!
Some of the favored hotels aren't available through them, though, and that was disappointing.

 

[GrandBob]

Are their packages worth the cost of membership?

You can always purchase a membership and see for yourself. If you don't like what you see, you can go to Customer Service at any Costco to get a full refund of your membership fee.

 

[tarheelalum]

I don't know anything about Costco's Disney packages but Costco in general is awesome. We do all of our shopping there. I love Costco.
