2. Accommodations. Decide whether you want to be in a resort on site, or stay off site. THEN decide on a budget and then location. The agents I did talk to on the phone about staying on site were very helpful. Staying on site gives some added perks and has free shuttles. You can also get meal plans, but I think we could have got these staying off site as well. The trick with booking your lodging....some give discounts on tickets. We didn't go this way, so I am not much help on that.
3. The next thing I did was find Disney tickets. They don't have set dates, so they can be ordered in advance. We checked CAA and also talked to them about a "Disney World Vacation" ...it would be over US$5000-$7000 for 5 of us for 6 days. Ugh, maybe not.
CAA link HERE Tickets are discounted a little, but the best deal I found was through Undercover Tourist. Here is the link, press HERE.
You can also redeem AirMiles for a basic Disney ticket. Click HERE to go to a general AirMiles info page.
I may have missed some, but I did a lot of internet searching. I gave myself a deadline and just went with the best deal I could find in that amount of time. My time is also valuable.
The biggest thing to be careful of, is NOT to RE PURCHASE Disney tickets. When we were at Disney, on the news they just busted a bunch of people for reselling tickets. The tourist bought them, but then couldn't use them. At the admission gate of Disney, they scan your ticket and your FINGER PRINT. Yes, your fingerprint is attached to your ticket, so I don't know how you can re sell them? Maybe there is a way to do this all legally, but we didn't want to chance it.
I ordered our tickets and they came in the mail approx 3 weeks later? They suggested taking a photo of the backs of the cards, just in case they were lost before we activated them. They could be replaced. Once you use them once at a Disney attraction, you have 14 days to use them up. We bought 6 day passes for ages 10 years old and up. ( Child is under 10 years old) Added the Fun Pass bonus.
5 people, 6 days, PLUS Fun Passes ~ US $1911.75 CDN $2200.50.
This actually gave us 12 days of fun options. The Fun Pass gets you into 2 Water Parks (Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon) AND Disney Quest (at Downtown Disney) which is a 5 story building full of arcade style games (Pac Mac, Frogger) as well as simulators etc. AND also some mini golf courses.
To add on a Fun Pass was almost equal in price to paying for 1 day at one of Fun Pass attractions...EXCEPT we got 6 days for the price of 1 ! Great deal. You're spending money anyhow.
You could order directly from Disney through their website or click HERE to get there.
They are like a credit card and you sign the back of them. They were our entry to the parks and to use the FAST PASS system to get onto rides a little quicker.
Now ain't they cute?! So, we were more than happy with UNDER COVER TOURIST for our Disney Tickets.
Our cost $440.10 CDN per person/6 days which was actually 12 attraction visits = $36.68 per day.
