OKW/SSR 42% w/DDP

[igk]

Hi I just booked a 1BR villa at OKW for 7 nights at the end of Oct. I know this isn't new but it still seems like a very good deal.
We're 2 adults + 2 kids (but Disney adults - 12 and 10), and we got 7 nights for £1849, incl tickets and DDP. That works out at £139/night for the 1BR.
I've stayed at OKW before and the 1BR villas are very nice and roomy. The only downside is my 2 kids don't like the idea of sharing the sofabed, but if the worst comes to the worst I can always buy an airbed from Walmart or somewhere
I had booked offsite, and was planning to eat offsite because paying adult prices *4 in the WDW restaurants seemed prohibitively expensive.
The downside is I've now got ADR hell to look forward to. At least I get free VOIP calls

OKW/SSR deal is what has got me to stay onsite this August, we usually stay offsite and eat offsite but decided to give onsite another chance.
Only 3 of us so a Studio is enough, £91/night incl reg DDP, 16 nights costing £1,456. ADR's have been a pain but hopefully all worth it when we get there.

I think the studio was just over £100/night when I booked. That's a really great deal you got there - I remember reading about it. The package I booked is over double the price on the US site
I guess with the ADR window now 90 days I'm in with as good a chance as anyone (except maybe the TA online system). I'll make a note in the calendar. We tend to eat lateish (for WDW) and have found previously getting ADRs slightly easier after 8pm, but we'll see...

Just checked price for a studio, not sure what date it increases. August is still £91/night Oct goes upto £101/night.

You just reminded me I need to re-price on Disney.com I got an email from them with a 40% pin code off .com prices, need to make sure UK is still best way to do it, I am sure it is but need to check.

I rang for ADR's at 90+10, did 11 meals no problem got everything we wanted around 7:30pm each evening, incl Le Cellier. Cali Grill was only one that was late at 9:35pm but I did ask for a later time, wanted around 8:30pm, it just took so long 1hr:14mins phone call(1p/min).
While in Florida 2 weeks ago tried adding another 3 meals. only managed 2 and not good times. Still have 3 more to do dreading ringing again.

We to have gone for this deal.

We was originally booked in at the FWC but for the same money have got a 2 bedroomed villa at SSR inc DDP. Seemed to good to be true but when I saw the offer come round again for 2010, well I just had to book again.

Let us know how you got on with the US price Wayne please.

How did it compare

I did goto the site to try compare but then realized free DDP on .com does not start as early as .co.uk so it was not possible to get free DDP for our dates plus you can only book upto 14 days on .com which is not long enough for us.
I tried to compare using other dates and adding 2 days on and price with 40% discount was similar price to .co.uk but only 1 day tickets, on .co.uk we have 21 day tickets. So way more expensive after 40% off.

To get on .com for prices you have 2 options. click here http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdwi/en_GB/index then bottom left drop box to USA(English), takes you back to same page but top left has a link that say visit U.S. site click that and you are .com for pricing.

Other option click here for teh free dining offer http://bookwdw.reservations.disney....mo&promotionCode=fy09q4dine&market=fy09q4dine and click on get started

This one might take you direct but not always http://bookwdw.reservations.disney....mo&promotionCode=fy09q4dine&market=fy09q4dine
