sept trip...need some SERIOUS help

[Mrs.viv07]

Hi everyone i have not been on here in a really long time. Hubby just informed me last night that if i end up pg within the next month or so he does not feel comfortable flying to italy in september so we would go next year but that we could go to Disney instead. i have 3 weeks beggining sept 23 till oct to work with. I'm so out of the loop and completely forgot how to look for the best deals. i tried last night on WDW site and got a quote of close to $2000 for 2 adults 2 children with dining and 6 day tickets, contemplating adding the water option but not sure yet. we don't really need the park hopper since we never really leave the parks to go back to the hotel or switch between 2 of them.
i would appreciate any insight. i know i have to start figuring out dining ressies but what else am i missing?
thanks for any help

Was the quote for the Free Dining Offer or The room discount offer ? Which Resort ?
We don't bother with the Hopper Option either, plenty to keep busy with in one Park each day
You can always add the Waterparks and More option once you are there, of you think you want or need it

i just tried both ptions and got about a $700 difference for same dates
for the room discount its was something like $2750 or so with dining added.
for the free dining offer it came to $2074.

i was thinking the same thing about the water park since i'm not sure my 2 y/o will enjoy or not.

Just remember that the Free Dining promo must be booked by May 18 for your travel period.

Both the park hopper and/or waterparks feature can be added on site if you think you need them, though at possibly higher prices (a few dollars per pass) than they are now due to the normal annual price increase that usually comes every summer. Might not even need the waterparks if the kids are happy with the resort pool.

New since October is a credit card guarantee for some, not all, dining locations. All character meals, signature dining, and several popular restaurants. Just be aware of the cancel policies when you make your ADRs. Your dates have been open for ADR booking for a few weeks.

Happy planning!
