Returning to WDW after Five Years

[Patch'sD]

Hi,

Planning a trip back to WDW after a five year lapse. Thinking of Staying at at a Value Resort, Kids are college or High School age so no need for Kid themeing. Looking for Two families to share four rooms. What is the best way to proceed for Reservations, Hotel recomendation, best way to get best price, ect. Looking to stay four nights at WDW and Three nights at Universal. Very well versed at Universal so no real need for help there. Need Expert advice for WDW. Planning travel like last week in June or first week in July. Thanx in advance for the assistance

Get the Unofficial Guide to Disney 2005 by Bob Sehlinger. It is a must have for planning.

It will tell you everything you need to know to pick your hotel and plan your trip. It will even tell you stuff you didn't think you needed to know--but you do!

It helped our trip go really smoothly--especially since we hadn't been in a long time, and there are many changes to keep up with.

It lists and rates all hotels, restaurants, theme parks, rides, attractions...plus has all the phone #s you need to make your plans.

Get the Passporter 2005!
I get one every year and it is the most valuable PRINTED Disney planning material out there. It really helps you get organized and is wonderful for taking with you. I often pulled it out while standing in the middle of a park to read an attraction summary or restaurant summary/review.

As for budgeting planning and photos of hotels, check out mousesavers and allears.net as beccasmom suggested. They'll get you everything you need.

The site these boards are affiliated with www.wdwinfo.com is a great place to search and find your trip planning information.....

Both of the Guides listed above are excellent resources.

If you are looking at the value resorts, I would suggest Pop as it is the newest value resort. As for specials check www.mousesavers.com
I would suggest calling and making your reservation. The cms are helpful and you can also make any PS at the same time.

The allearsnet.com site is an excellent resource as she goes over resorts, tickets, discounts and she even has the menus for the restaurants.
