Is that with any kind of discount ?? that seems kind of high to me. (free dining is during that period, so at the least, you should be getting free dining) Did you price it out on www.disneyworld.com using their "specials" page ? just as a comparison ?

 

[DisneyGuy758]

There aren't any discounts added on right now because our trip is not until 2012, so I don't think there is much available quite yet.

I am hoping free dining would be going on again for our dates...but who knows.

Are you planning on getting a family suite just for the extra room? We're a family of 5, but because our youngest is under 3, he'll sleep in a pack 'n play. We just booked a regular room in ASMo

Yes we are.

When we went in 2007, we had originally booked a single room and it was not enough room. We swapped to a family suite and it gave us the breathing room we needed. We would come back to the room so the boys could nap, and DW and I could go into the separate room and could watch TV, or surf the web there. For us, we feel a family suite is a must. We will be a family of five next time as well, so we will need the kitchenette even more so.

I hate bumping a thread where I was the last one to post in it. I apologize.

I was talking with DW tonight, and she agreed that park hopper tickets aren't really needed. If we plan our days (and ADRs) right, we should be fine without them.

That, with the water park deduction brings everything down by $500. Looking better every minute.

OP, just wanted to let you know that I did not purchase hopper passes on my last two trips and it was no problem at all! Plan your days ahead of time and be flexible if necessary and you too will be fine.

Have a great trip!

That's one thing that DW mentioned last night. We will have to plan our days, and meals, around the park we choose to be at that day. It won't be hard, just...different.

I think I'm going to book it next week and call it good.
