Someone recently posted on the family board that they raised the extra bun price to $1.99
Catch on they do. We do the grocery stop en route to WDW and always buy sandwich fixings for pool picnics and always buy buns, we do the double hamburger and just bring a bun from the room and each have a burger. Even at that, we do buy just one regular burger and split the thing and fries, meals are huge.
We like to keep our trips at a good price, no budget but just thrifty, we prefer deluxe and WL at 182.00 a night, is fine for us. We always either use an AP discount, use room only
AAA discount or a pin code, we always travel during value season and do not do dining, we do come out cheaper contrary to what others state. We like long stays, 10-12 night varieties, no commando style since our travel is a big part of the cost. Packages cost alot more and give you perks you may never get to use. We feel using a water park ticket and a park ticket on the same day, a waste. Longer stays give you a down day to get the most out of each ticket. Lately, the pool at the WL has served our purpose and we haven't visited a water park in a few years. FW, boat ride from the Lodge has the best buffet for all meals at a good price, real American cuisine and if we do a breakfast buffet, there's no room for a lunch and we then do a dinner. All works out great for us, just the 2 of us, and we can get by, 10-12 night, WL complete trip less travel for 2200.00, which is what we feel is equitable for what we get and how we like doing Disney, we do not care for the value or moderate resorts at all, no matter what price.
