Re: tips 4 saving $$$
I paid 1600 for that same package and stayed at the AKL and for one more night. No, that isn't a good deal even with airfare included. Contact Mousketrips, our sponcer. They will get you a great rate. The discount codes just came out for that time period. You may be able to get a great deal on a room only package and book the other componets yourself. You will save a ton of money that way. You can get AS for $55 a night possibly. Don't delay though because the number of discounted rooms are limited and have to be booked by 12/1. Mickey, the owner of this site and mousektrips will take excellent care of you and get you the best possible deal. He is taking care of my trip too....excellent job BTW with it.

Re: tips 4 saving $$$
Does that price include your park hopper tickets too?
It does sound a little pricey for AS resorts. Depending on what time in 2005 you are going, the rate per night should run about $55 to $75 + tax. We usually book our room seperate from our tickets and don't go with the all inclusive plan of tickets for length of stay. I would check that option too. If you use a travel agent, do as Dana suggest, check out Mickey @ Mousektrips.

Re: tips 4 saving $$$
Wow I paid $1280 for 7 nights at AKL Savannah view. You should try to use the discount I used to get a better price.

I just looked at the codes and they are right, that is a black-out date. The codes are not being used for your time frame. Is it possible for you to go before or after that in order to get the discount? I didn't realize your days were blacked out. $77 per night is max cost for the all stars. I'm thinking they are expecting crowds for it to be so high....you may want to reconsier these trips days if possible. No, for that time frame considering that it is a black out time, you will not get a better price unless you do a room only for the $77 a night and buy the passes seperately. You can get park hoppers for five days on hotwire for $266 Adult and $215 Child. Thats tax included. You are joinging anyway for the vouchers, so this isn't a big deal.

Judging by what you paying for the passes - that might be where the difference is. We're getting our passes alot cheaper at Hotwire savings club. Jen BTW - Welcome to DC

Re: tips 4 saving $$$
Tink -
This is the first time I am using hotwire, but on my last trip to disney, I got my PH's from AAA. They worked just fine. I'm sure that there are many on this site that have used them. A friend of mine has told me that Connections 123 is even cheaper, but the price she quoted me is just a little to low to be believeable. Jen
