Comments on: A Quick Review of Disney World Packages http://disneyvacationspecials.com/a-quick-review-of-disney-world-packages Tips and Tricks for Enjoying Disney World on a Budget Thu, 12 Jan 2012 20:30:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Susan George http://disneyvacationspecials.com/a-quick-review-of-disney-world-packages/comment-page-1#comment-1000 Susan George Wed, 20 Jul 2011 01:19:21 +0000 http://disneyvacationspecials.com/a-quick-review-of-disney-world-packages#comment-1000 I wanted to alert folks interested in Disney vacations that it might be a whole lot cheaper to book just rooms and NOT packages. We recently had to cancel a vacation package booked at the Grand Floridian due to a bad turn in my husband's health. Because I had booked a 'package' and not just a room, I was charged $200 cancellation fee plus the $133.30 'insurance' fee for canceling within 44 days. If I had just booked a room, I would have been able to cancel within 5 days for NO money. I could have used that $333.30 to buy an 8-day ticket! So, they kept $333.30 of my hard-earned money and I got nothing! Additionally, when I did the math on the ticket portion of the package, it added up to more than the cost of two 6-day tickets (which is what we wanted). PLUS, I've had a real tug-of-war getting my total refund back from Disney. There attitude really boils down to, 'that's the way it is." So, I would urge folks to consider all contingencies..if there is ANY chance of plan change- it really is cheaper to just book a room!
