Hi. We want to play a vacation to Disney in Fla in Jan (2 adults and 2 kids). Is it cheaper to go in Jan? I heard that Jan is discount Disney month. Is this true? Should we go thru AAA? Would the prices be better? Is it cheaper to fly or drive (we only plan on spending about 3 – 4 days in Disney)? Any tips would be great!
Thanks!
Lisa

Hi Stacey -
I think you are on the right track with the park hopper passes and the meal plans – both are great ways to save money.

As far as making your trip a special one, don’t forget to reserve a spot at one of the character dinning experiences – they are great for the kids. You might also look into visiting Universal Studios just to mix it up a little while you are there.

You are wise to plan ahead with your reservations. With gas costs increasing you can lock in a much cheaper rate now on flights and tickets. Lord knows they will only go up from here!

my husband and i are trying to plan a family vacation possibly in june 2010. Some of our other family members may go but they will stay in seperate rooms. We wanted to know when we should think of start booking a trip that far in advance. We were also thinking of doing the meal plan and getting hopper passes. This will be the first time my 2 daughters have ever gone to disney. They will be 7yrs old and just 2mths shy of 4yrs old and the time. Do you have any special tips you could give us so that we can make this special for them.

Tabitha -

5 adults is a bit of an odd number, which is probably why you are having problems. Try the calculator on this page: http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdwi/en_CA/reservations/ticketsAndReservationsLanding?id=TicketsAndReservationsLandingPage

You might also call the main reservation line to get some pricing info (407) 939-6244

I would compare costs across a couple of different sources before buying. You might also consider booking your hotel and park tickets seperately if it saves money.

Good Luck!

I would like to find an affordable package to bring my family-5 adults and 2 children to Disney World for a 7 day 6 night stay. Most of the online offers I have seen do not accommodate this many. I would like to plan on coming in an off peak time, maybe mid August or Thanksgiving. I would like to have something inside the park with park passes and meals included. Can you direct me to somewhere to visit to find what I am needing?
Thank you
Tabitha
