I just registered with this site and am so happy to find this thread! My family - self, DH, and 2 boys are going to WDW for the VERY FIRST time Feb 17-21, 2014. From what I gather, this is a busy week but I work in a school and have to go at a time I have off. This seems like our best option as we are in Michigan and would find Orlando summer miserable I think!
I am looking for any and all advice, recommendations, and tips from all you WDW veterans! We are pretty sure we're staying at Port Orleans Riverside, in the Alligator Bayou section. I have not booked yet though. I'm torn between these things:
1) package or room only?? Is the dining plan worth it??
2) book directly through Disney or through AAA (I'm a member) or a Disney travel agent?
I'm stuck on 2) because what if a discount is released by Disney AFTER I book? And what are the chances that one will be?? Any advice??
