So what do you know its March, and Sarah keeps reminded me for the umpteenth time this past weekend that I PROMISED that we where all going to Disney World this year. So somewhere between the harassment by my daughter and Elaine’s need to have ALL her vacation time sent into work for approval before the middle of March, I realize that I had better gets this trip started.
First thing, budget, being that we don’t have $8-10,000.00 to spend on a trip (remember this is what we initially found 14 days in Disney World would cost) we opted for the 7 day tour of Disney World. Off I go looking for flights, hotels, park tickets etc. and I begin to find that the trip can be done for allot less, I mean allot less then what we first thought. By the time we were done, we had dropped the cost of a 14 day excursion so low, that it allowed us to plan our first EVER 2 week vacation. Our flights turned out to be much cheeper than we thought and by going the first week of October (which incidentally is the only time I can could leave for holidays this year) we got the best rates of the year in Disney World hotels, which meant no need for car rental as they have there own bus systems for Disney World Hotel guest!
So here’s the deal, as of today we have flights booked round trip from Seattle (we are actually going to visit Seattle for a day or two) for $270.00 each CND Total Cost. We decided that the room would not be occupied enough and so we decided to stay at a Disney value resort (remember the free transport all over Disney World for resort guest only). Once the Disney Park Hopper tickets where added we actually came in under the cost of 7 days to Disneyland in California (verified by the travel agent who tried to book this for us initially). Man does it pay to scourer the internet, wait for the deals and then pounce! By the way the flights were booked through expedia.ca and believe it or not the rest was booked through WALT DISNEY WORLD VACATIONS.
So what are we doing later this....”We’re going to Disney World!”
