Can anyone give any tips about booking accomodation at WDW? I like the deluxe resorts, but want to ensure that I don't pay more than I have to (hmmm, maybe I should have become an Accountant like my brother....!). My husband always laughs that I spend hours to just save a few pounds...
I am currently looking at a room only rate of $202 (American travel web site) per night for a room (resort view and balcony) at the Swan/Dolphin for five nights 4th Aug to 9th Aug (no myy holiday isn't really that short - doing a cruise beforehand and a couple of nights in Miami before flying home...). This seems like a very good rate to me (I have stayed in the Swan before - think it is a nice hotel and great location), but like to "shop around".
Can anybody recommend some websites to look at (no, I don't qualify for any discounts) - if that doesn't contradict the board's rules?
Can people also tell me if the Disney packages are really good value for money? Looking at a standard room at the Yacht Club, with the "Disney Resort Magic" package, it works out at just over $2300. That's $460 a day for two people: seems a lot more than the cost of a deluxe room at the Dolphin + an Ultimate Park Hopper Pass. Is it worth it?
I look forward to people's opinions (to help me through the mine field of decisions which booking a holiday at WDW appears to be...)
