Parents are actually discussing 1st ever trip to WDW

[Oogie Boogie Man]

I or my brother have never been to WDW or anyone of the Disney parks in our lives and it seems like we have been bugging our parents to go for like forever.

Can anyone give me some good airfare prices and airlines to travel with. I also would like to know if you actually can save money with the meal plan and also what are the best places to stay on site at WDW for a family of 4 and a reasonable price.

Thank You and it is much appreciated. Owen

Oh, if we do go it will most like be in July.

Also what are the crowds like in July(most likely the beginning of July)?

Hey!!
Jet Blue has great airline prices, if you are willing to drive to syracuse which will save you a lot of money. it is about 2.5hrs from napanee.

The value resorts are great for families of four, POP and All Stars are all great I have stayed at all of them and it just comes down to personal preference.

July crowds are pretty busy, I would avoid july 4th.
The upside is it will be very warm so you should try to enjoy the water parks.

Any other information I can give you just let me know. PM me. I live near napanee and can answer some questions you have or point you in the right direction of someone else! You have come to the right place for all things disney


Have fun planning!

Thank You

Actually my parents thought about driving to Syracuse to get a cheaper rate.

Oh and one more question they asked me to ask is how far in advance do you make dining reservations?

Tinkerball and your parents are right- you save a ton of money by driving to Syracuse. We try to stay at the Best Western Express Park n Fly for $159.00 You get your night (with indoor pool), continental breakfast in the morning, free shuttle to the airport back and forth, and you can leave your car there for up to a week. It's a great deal! July will hot so take your water bottles. Last year we did the all inclusive at Carribean Beach Resort and LOVED IT!! For us it was well worth it b/c my DH eats alot. We also did our homework. We looked at the most expensive restaurants and booked in there for dinner so we got the 'most for our buck.' We did the 1 take out, 1 sit-down and 1 snack option and it was plenty. We also bought the refillable mugs at the resort ($10.99) so every morning we would get coffee/iced tea, and use one snack credit b/c a snack is a donut, fruit and other pasteries. If you do the all-inclusive- make sure to do BOMA it is $27.99 a person buffet and you go into the resort and after dinner you get to see all of the animals. It was simply amazing. Start watching now for airline deals. Check out bookit.com they have some good ones, and there is this other one I'll let you kow later but it compares all of the search sites like expedia, bookit, etc and you can see which are the best deals. Great idea to start planning now. You'll find loads of info. on this site. Also when you go through the border stay to the right, try not to get into any of the left lanes, the right lanes divide again so you go through quicker. Also when you come back through 1000 islands Canada stay to the left b/c they divide as well. Make sure to ask lots of questions b/c that's the only way you'll find the answers. Everybody on here is more than happy to help! Take care and I'm very happy for you! Hope you go!

Most places are 90 days out. So April should be when you can book. Depends when you actually pick your dates.
