I know that most of the deals I have posted have been for Disney World, but I just can’t resist. Other than Cape Cod, Disney World has been the destination of most of my vacations. And, Disney usually have some of the best deals, too.
Today I found a deal that combines 5 nights at a Disney Resort, 5 days worth of Magic Your Way park tickets, and 5 nights worth of a Disney Dining Plan. The cheapest option includes a stay at a Value Resort (one of those All Star hotels with giant football helmets or guitars) and Disney’s Quick Service Dining Plan (two fast food meals and two snacks) for $535 per adult.
For better accommodations, you can choose the same package at a Moderate Resort (Caribbean Beach Resort, Coronado Springs, etc.) with the Disney Dining Plan (one fast food meal, one snack, and one table service meal) for $716 per adult. Not bad, when a 5 day park ticket costs almost $300.
The stay needs to be between October 2 and November 24, so this deal would work best for families with small children that either aren’t in school or can miss a week of school without too many problems. When I was younger, I went to Disney World a few times during the fall, and it is definitely the best time to go. Good deals, shorter lines, and nice weather.
I have three addictions: ice cream, Starbucks, and Disney World. Ice cream and Starbucks are cheap, tasty treats, but Disney World is usually a funfilled, expensive vacation. I’m pretty much a five year old. To me, no vacation beats going to magical amusement parks and relaxing in the warm Florida sun. I’ve been to Disney World 7 times in my life (the most recent time was last August), and I already can’t wait to go again.
Today, I just happened to go to expedia.com to check out the latest hotel deals, and I stumbled upon this, one of the best deals I’ve ever seen for Disney resorts. The part about the dining plan is mildly exciting and getting into parks for FREE on your birthday is a good idea, but the hotel deals were what caught my eye. This deal is only good until June 6th, so you better hurry if you want to book your stay. The offer is valid for trips booked through August 8th, perfect for a summer getaway.
I immediately started clicking to find the best hotel for the best price. Although I’ve never stayed at any of these hotels (hotels outside the park are just as nice and MUCH MUCH cheaper), I’ve looked at their pictures, ammenities, and other information countless times, and dreamed of staying there. We did stay at Disney’s Dolphin Resort once, which was very nice, but is not actually part of the Disney brand, even though it’s inside Disney World.
The best deals I found included regular rooms at three moderate level Disney Resorts (3-3.5 stars) for $119 per night at Port Orleans French Quarter and Riverside, Caribbean Beach Resort, and Coronado Springs Resort. My choice would be the Caribbean Beach Resort; I’ve always wanted to go there. The rooms at these resorts are usually around $200 per night, so $119 is a good price.
For those who want a little more room and luxury, a few resorts, including Old Key West Resort and Saratoga Springs Resort, have villas from $179.
The value resorts (the Allstar movie, sports, music hotels) are the cheapest at $104, but those places have never appealed to me. Giant guitars and footballs are just a little too tacky. I’d suggest spending the extra $15 per night for a much better stay.
Hopefully some people get to use this great deal. I’m sure I’ll be posting tons of Disney/Universal/Orlando area reviews and deals in the near future.
