Resort search on WDW's official site

[bek]

I have an annual pass and a very flexible schedule. I'm debating going to WDW for a couple of days in September. Rather than pick specific dates, I'm more interested in finding a great deal on a resort that I'd like to try out. Is there any way to search AP availability/pricing on all the resorts? In other words, when I use Expedia to search for airfares, I can pick "flexible travel dates" I then get a month grid with the lowest available airfare on each day so I can pick travel dates by cheapest airfare.

I know Magical Vacations has some agency exclusive specials for Sept that are pretty good. Wish I had time to go I'd def take advantage of them. Are you going on a solo trip? A villa might be a bit much for 1 but you stay in a studio.

It'll probably be a solo trip. My DH was willing to buy me an AP when we went with the grandkids last June but he didn't get one. I've been trying to talk my sister into visiting and going with me to AK. But that probably won't happen. I can also just do a down-and-back in one day or Hotwire something off site. But the WDW website is not making it easy for me to give them my money.

I, too, wish there was a way to do a comprehensive check on our own. When I have flexible dates I really dislike going through Disney reservations and inquiring separately about different resorts and different time frames, then cross-comparing, pen and paper in hand, scribbling furiously, CM getting less and less perky...
For me,my search is limited a bit by also trying to capitalize on good airfares but it looks like you are within driving distance. What a dilemma to have.

Hope there is a better way of doing things out there.

If you live in Florida check out the summer deal they have. You can stay for $66/night (value). Go to the main WDW page and scroll to the bottom for Florida discounts.

I'm a two-hour drive from WDW. When I fly anywhere, I usually drive the 2 hours to Orlando and fly out of MCO. I consider MCO my "home" airport.

Yesterday, I gave up on the WDW site and started running Expedia scenarios. It helped narrow down availability. I'm thinking more and more that if I go down in September, I may just stay off site and look for a Hotwire deal. A September trip would only be a couple of days.

It is a fun problem to have. The AP is definitely burning a hole in my pocket. I've been trying to think of excuses to go down for a couple of days every month.

I've been using the AP link for September but it is frustrating Thanks for your help.

I've tried it a few times and also through the AP link, but I can't find the deals they're advertising on the FL discount page. That's why I wanted a search that would pinpoint where there's still availability for FL or AP discounts.

I am keeping a close watch to see if AP or FL discounts are announced for October, November and December. Maybe if I hop on it immediately, I'll have better luck.

Thanks for your suggestion
