Room only rates better than Package!!

[karen1]

I had booked room only rate at BC for $224 a night with the Visa deal. So for 7 nights my total was $1748. ( 2 adults and 3 children are in our family)

We did the FTP last year and really liked the length of stay pass that you could use on check in and check out day. Today called to price the Summer Dream Maker for our dates June26-July 3. First CM quoted me Rack rate of $4242. I told her that's the price I saw on the web site for the regular dream maker. So she had me hold and went to ask why the ZWSF code wouldn't work. She got it straightened out and quoted me $3461.65.

But if we purchase the 7 day park hopper plus for $1446 (we will each have 4 plus options that never expire too!!!!) our total is only $3194. The only thing we wouldn't do would be to do MGM EE on check out day like we did last year --but that's OK because we will be driving home to NJ and will get an early start!!!

We'll also definitely have a lot of plus options left for next trip!!!
Last year the FTP was worth it to us--but I don't think this package is worth the money!!!

I agree, generally speaking booking our trips separately has been a better deal than a package, (except FTP IIRC) especially if you get a code. Another advantage is that unused days or plus options never expire. Should someone get sick or if you just decide to have a down day its not like the clock is ticking on your pass.

We often like to do a water park day with dtd or boardwalk at night and save a day on the passes. The flights from Boston lately have been arriving in Orlando early evening and departing early morning so this means I don't have the two extra days on my pass with the UPH.
