    Not excited for this trip at all…

    I completely agree with this. I was always the planner but I am just giving up planning and we are leaving in a few days. This trip was the backup to the cruise that didn't happen due to family COVID fears. We are still going but this is it. We have always stayed on property but now can't...

    Transportation Times

    Hello, were staying offsite for the first time at the beginning of December and was wondering about transportation times. How long does it take to get from the toll plaza through security at MK? We are going to all the parks but I figured MK would give me the longest time frame.

    Drive or fly from NC?

    9 hours from Wilmington, we have done it a dozen times... it gets old but the freedom to change plans and cost savings are worth it.

    Early Morning Entry's impact on staying off site

    Doing our 1st offsite stay this December due to onsite costs and last minute planning but seriously not looking forward to this. I have pushed off 2 trips since COVID. We used to be on site rope droppers and I have no idea how to tackle a touring plan.

    price dropped after booking

    I called after a price drop and they adjusted the price and added a room credit. Then I called my BIL to do the same. Then they had a 20% off excursions sale which were already booked. I called and they refunded the money and re-booked right away with the price reduction.

    Cheap Safe Hotel near Disney World?

    We used Hotwire for a hotel one night before our stay from midnight to about 7 am. I think the rate was $63 at The Quality Inn Eastgate... It was not worth it!!!! I would not recommend this process at all. I would have never picked this place and if I wanted to, I could have got the hotel...

    May go March 3-8, thoughts on those dates?

    We have done a lot of different March weeks and that one is the best. Crowds, cooler weather and Flower and Garden Festival.

    Behind the scenes tours.

    We started with Behind the Seeds then moved to Keys to the Kingdom and it was Awesome. Everything about it was cool, we always try to do something different each time, this will be hard to beat.

    How much do you budget?

    We eat breakfast in the room, bring water bottles, eat QS or snacks for lunch, a couple TS for dinner but mostly QS. With an average of $45 dollars a day for each adult. It's about the same as the QS dinning plan but we love the flexibility to skip meals or go offsite.
