Walt Disney World had a pretty awesome deal for Florida residents earlier this year – 4 days / 4 parks for $99 TOTAL per person. That’s only $24.25 per park/day! They also had special Florida resident lodging rates for some of those dates. Unfortunately, that deal expired last month. I was excited about taking advantage of it for our family, but circumstances (“morning” sickness, weakness) made me unable to go and post-poned our family’s Walt Disney World vacation for 2010.
I then set my sights on a 2011 Disney vacation. I was browsing Disney’s website and checking out ticket packages, etc and came across another excellent deal for Florida residents, albeit with a lot of restrictions. Ah, but all of the date restrictions matched perfectly with the dates we would NOT want to go to Disney, anyway. Our schedule is very flexible, our son is not in school, and we tend to avoid Walt Disney World when it is likely to be most crowded. For about $500, we can buy annual passes for two adult and one child! We will have a new baby by then, but babies and toddlers are free, so just three tickets will cover our family.
Granted, not everyone lives in Florida {that’s a good thing or we’d be reeeealllly crowded!} or has such a flexible schedule. I guess that makes us a little on the lucky side. Then there’s lodging and other possible vacation needs. Most Disney World Packages include park tickets, lodging, and a meal plan. I will probably be piecing together our own package {there’s an on-the-very-edge-of-but-technically-off-property resort that we love to stay at – hello lazy river!} but between now and the end of the year I will be exploring options. I would like to try for a full week vacation at Disney as well as random one – two day jaunts during 2011. For the one – two day trips, we may stay on the property at Disney World.
