I priced out this package for a 7 night stay at POP Jan 1 - Jan 8
For 2 A, 2C (ages 5 and 8) the price is $1281 US.
That includes accom. for 7 nights and 7 day tix (with hopping and water park and fun opton). I am not interested in hopping or the water park etc option.

Currently I have a price of:
CAA 20% room only discount Jan 1 -8, 70.25/nt with tax
7 day base tix from ticketmania (2 A, 2C) $694
CAA membership $40US
= $1225 US

So I think I will stick with what I have, unless I'm missing something???
I am not familiar with packages at all.

Thanks

Thanks for posting and letting us know.
Time to get out the calculator. Decisions Decisions.

I think that this is the same offer that is being offered under several different codes:
YRA (on the disney web site)
YRE : public code through CRO
YRD: public code through CRO with dining (additional cost)
YQS: public visa code, through CRO
YQ?: public visa code with dining (additional cost)
There are also two CAA/AAA codes (not public) that have to be purchased through CAA/AAA. But price is the same as the other codes.

But in the end I have tried EVERY code and for us the price works out identical on all codes , except the codes that include dining, dining is added on (but with no dining discounts).

Suzy,
I'm coming up with the same outcome as you. What I got from CAA is better. Well, better for me anyways.
I keep hoping for something more though.

How cute - a "Canadian" marketing strategy ploy to get us to come visit!!! If they offered us a better deal than everyone else... I'd consider another trip over the winter!

Sadly this is the deal that's not a better one for us, just the same as everything else, same deal, new code, repackaged

On the surface, the advertising that we've seen seems to imply it's a really good deal, but once we looked at it (and factored in our APs and the Best Rate program) there really isn't anything there that we couldn't live without.

Wouldn't be enough to get me down there because I don't see any savings at all, and the waterpark option isn't a draw for us...
