    question about split stay

    So i booked the free dining/park tickets promo at Coronado from Sept 16-24 and then a room only from sept 24-26. It saved me a couple hundred dollars doing it this way. The 25 is just a pool day and we are leaving the morning of the 26. 1. Can someone confirm that I have to use up all of my...

    Second Guessing my CBR Pirate room reservations....

    Yes one year upon check-in we were told we were "upgraded" to a pirate room. I now consider that a downgrade, I wouldn't stay in those rooms again

    What's a "Good" Flight Fare from YYZ or BUF?

    i always choose Buffalo, even though it is twice as far as Toronto is for me. I can usually get return airfare to and from Orlando (no stops) for around $200 USD . For our trip in Sept I paid $849US for 4 tickets

    So I booked our trip back at the beginning of the year when the Free Dining Promo came out (2 adults, 2 kids, 12 days/ 11 nights, Coronado Springs, standard room, quick service dining, 5 park day + hopper) and I paid just over $4300. I booked right through the Disney website. Just for kicks I...

    2019 Free Dining - anyone booked a trip yet?

    Hmm thread seems to have gone a bit off topic. So now im thinking I might try a DVC rental (never done that before). If we can stay at a deluxe for the price of a value, im willing to try that! We have only ever stayed at moderate resorts. We are not big eaters at ALL. free dining is nice...

    2019 Free Dining - anyone booked a trip yet?

    Awesome! I tried pricing the two different packages out and I found with the free dining i was saving about $700 for the four of us. I also find I like the quick service better because the Disney dining plan is just way too much food for us. I will just pick a few of my favourite restaurants...
