Sounds great. Love SSR but just crazy price when I checked. Think it worked out at £466 a night compared to £106 at Bonnet Creek. Would never eat enough to make up gir the free dining.
We were considering Disney parks this year but definitely not committing until I know if Avatar is up and runnin. I refuse to go until they build something new. Have gone without Disney parks last two years and honestly haven't missed them.
bonnet creek came out to more for us because we need two 2 bedroom suites (we can't do one 4 bedroom as we need the separation of two different suites with 4 of us in each).
when i crunched all the numbers, it came out to a difference of about $70 per person per day....i figured we'd probably eat close to that amount per day if we eat most of our meals inside disney - which we probably will...and with the other benefits, it would be worth it to pay the upcharge...
this is the first big family trip since 2011....that was the last time all of us went together (6 of us - the two kidlets are new additions, bringing the group to 8)....
4 of us were there 3 years ago for a few days before my nephew's wedding....
but the full group hasn't been there together since 2011, so we may as well go whole hog on the disney experience....
i doubt we'll be able to do this again for a very very very long time (if ever)...
we're hoping avatar is up and running by then, but it's not a dealbreaker...we actually like AK very much as it is...
this will be the first time at the parks for the 3 and 1 year olds....i don't know how much they'll get out of it, but the whole family will be together..
not to say we'll be done with disney..
we're already planning for 2018 -
but rather than WDW, we think we'll do a cruise on the disney magic in the Mediterranean....
that will give us our disney fix without having to rob a bank to fly us there...
the flights to florida are just way too much for us now...
i paid something like $16,000 for the 8 of us for next year.....insane!!!! can't do that every year, that's for sure..
getting to barcelona is much much much cheaper...so
disney cruise it is in 2018 (at least i hope so
)....
