Hi there everyone,
We've just joined the board as friends of ours recommended it to us as a way to understand how we might get the best value for our ££/$$ when in WDW.
So...we're looking for some help please. We (2 adults only) are travelling over to Florida in mid April and plan to drive all round the state, eventually ending up back in Orlando on the evening of Saturday 6th May, intending to stay until the morning of Thursday 11th May. We are intending to visit the Magic Kingdom, MGM & Animal Kingdom together with SeaWorld and Islands of Adventure in our 5 days and were wondering whether it would be nicer/better value to try and "buy" (if that's the correct term) points from a DVC member to rent a place or book at one of the moderately priced hotels in WDW or stay outside in an area hotel (we will have a car for all our time there).
It seems like the DVC route might be the most attractive/best value option, but we are unsure of how to start the process or validate the seller - would any of you folks be able to provide us with some advice or assistance please ?
As regards tickets, it seems like the 3 day tickets through dreamsunlimited offer the best value, but again we'd welcome any help that you could provide (we've been to WDW before in 2000 but stayed in the All-Star Music hotel and didn't really venture out from WDW for our 10 days and are now experienced travellers throughtout the rest of the US of A).
Many thanks and kind regards from sunny (but VERY cold England)
