Summer Codes are ON THE WAY

[jadedNYer]

kinggoofy -

Since I won't be renting a car I can't help you out there and I got good airfare $465 total for three out La Guardia (now there is something worry about). I just hate to fly and it has been years since I have gotten a plane that didn't have a middle row of seats. Last year - our first time at WDW we took the train.

I do have another thing to figure out - how am I going to figure out a way to say "hoop dee do revue" out loud so that I can make reservations for that.

Thanks for replying to my posts...as you have read this trip started out as a complete surprise for my hubby's 40th this August. It's still a surprise but I had to really convince myself that the extra money for Boardwalk was worth it this week and asked him a lot of suspicious questions. I think he knows something is up but has no clue as to if/when we are going to see the Mouse. So you guys really enjoy Boardwalk? We've never stayed there but have always admired it; I really like the close entrances to Epcot and MGM. My daughter will love the ESPN restaurant and the swimming pool area. Do you have any room recommendations? I booked the standard view and asked for non-smoking and a top floor if possible. Thanks for any information. Can't wait until August 16th!!

Kinggoofy,
We will be driving from PA. and I used National I have a res. for 10 days I got it for 343.11 with unlimited miles.
I thought this was a good rate. (pontiac Grand am)
I dont know if you have an entertainment book but , if you do you can use a coupon and get this deal.


*Also if you do drive down the Entertainment book gives you 50% off hotel rates. We are staying at a holiday innon the way down for 49.00.*

It has other coupons also if you wanted to just rent in FLa. from the airport.

Thanks Dalpal.....

We went on Mousesavers and finally figured out the National website....( what codes and coupon #'s to use. )

We have Emerald Aisle service. (basically we avoid the lines and go right to our car.) We got 10 days for $230.95.

BUT...when National did the reservation they quoted us over $500 for the 10 days.

HamHam,

The BW is becoming my favorite resort, though our family really likes the Poly, as evidenced by our 12 - 13 visits there.
The difference in price you received from the WL is worth every penny. I do like WL, but location, location, location makes a difference. We usually visit 5 - 10 different resorts each trip to eat, shop or just look around.

Spoodles has a very good breakfast, check out the menus if you haven't already: http://wdwig.com/menu/menus.htm
Don't forget the restaurants at the hotels nearby, Swan&Dolphin, Y&B Club. You can also run over to Epcot just for lunch or dinner. Your daughter might enjoy Beaches and Cream at the Beach Club, we usually stop by here every trip, try to stay away at park closing time though, it can get very crowded. One of my favorite non-character breakfast buffets is Yacht Club Galley.

We've had a water view room twice which is very nice. Once above the pizza stand and once just above and to the left of the Bellvue balcony. We always try to get a room with a balcony. Also, some of the rooms can be quite a walk from the lobby, you may want to request a room closer to there. Remember the earlier in the day you check-in, the better your chance of getting the room you want. If our flight is later in the day, we'll stay off-site the first night and check-in by 6:00 - 7:00am, then have breakfast and hit the parks.

If you like, I can scan some maps / brochures from the BW check-in package and e-mail them to you, I'll need your address. Can't do this until tomorrow though, we've got Mothers Day plans the rest of the day.
