Sorry for the long drought in posting, but I think this will make up for it!
Disney is offering a fantastic "free nights" vacation package offer. This is probably the best offer I've seen since 2003. It is valid for stays January 4 through June 27, 2009 (with April 5-18 blacked out).
Here are the details:
*Buy a 4-night/4 day vacation package, get a 7-night/7-day package. That's 3 FREE hotel nights and 3 extra days on your theme park admission tickets!
*Travel between January 4 and March 29 and you will also get a $200 Disney Gift Card, redeemable for dining, souvenirs and more at Walt Disney World! (Travel after March 29 does not include the Gift Card.)
So how much will this save you? Here are three examples (amounts approximate):
*Family of 4 (2 Adults, 1 Junior age 10-17, 1 Child age 3-9), staying at a Value resort, Standard room, January 8-15 (7 nights): $276.75 savings on hotel room + $38.33 savings on tickets + $200 gift card = $515.08 total savings.
*Family of 4 (2 Adults, 1 Junior age 10-17, 1 Child age 3-9), staying at a Moderate resort, Standard room, January 8-15 (7 nights): $502.88 savings on hotel room + $38.33 savings on tickets + $200 gift card = $741.21 total savings.
*Family of 4 (2 Adults, 1 Junior age 10-17, 1 Child age 3-9), staying at Beach Club resort, Water View room, January 8-15 (7 nights): $1383.75 savings on hotel room + $38.33 savings on tickets + $200 gift card = $1622.08 total savings.
As you can see, the primary savings are on the hotel room portion, so the higher category hotels offer the most total savings. The hotel discount works out to 43% off the room rate when you book 4 nights and get 7 for the same price.
You must buy a package that includes at least 4 nights' accommodations at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel plus minimum 4-day Magic Your Way Base Tickets to qualify for the FREE nights and the extra days on your tickets.
You can stay longer than 7 nights (up to 10 nights) with this package, but there is a maximum of 3 free nights and 3 extra days per ticket, per stay. You can stay less than 7 nights, but you still must purchase 4 nights, so you'll end up with less than 3 free nights/extra days.

Vacation Package Discounts
I hope it's okay to brag here: We have saved at least $600 personally. Holly and her family were able to upgrade from camping to staying at a Moderate resort for just $200 for the whole vacation. Nikki and her family saved $1000.
Bottom line? If you can at ALL afford to go (beg, borrow, steal), you should do it. This is the best deal Disney's offered since the 9/11 attacks, when people stopped traveling altogether. Take advantage of this if at all possible. The special runs through the end of June 2009.

Thank you so much for the tip! What a bargain! We ended up trading up from the All Star Music suite to 2 rooms at All Star Movie... and then changed our minds and now we'll be at Port New Orleans with the Averys. YEA!!
Glad you figured out how to get the deal tonight. :)
We owe you big time!
No problem! I think you'll all love Port Orleans Riverside.
And you owe me nothing - just have a fabulous vacation, take great pictures, and blog about it!
Holy COW!!! That so makes me want to go! That really is a great deal! I just wonder how going with a tiny baby would be. What do you think? It would be bad huh?
This is in regards to taking a baby to Disney.
We have taken all of our kids as babies (under 1 year). It is not bad. When it is feeding time, we would see a show (one that was kind of dark)or go on the transit authority. They also have baby stations in each park where you can feed your baby. They also have a room where your kids can play or watch TV while you are feeding. That's the great thing about Disney a baby can go on almost every ride (with the exceptions of the roller coasters)I would say the baby can't go on about 3-4 rides in each park. Which if you are traveling with other young kids they can't go on those either.
What a great vacation deal you have found. Are there any great deals for a family of 8 without paying lots of $$$ because you have to stay in an expensive suite? Maybe staying in 2 connecting rooms would be our best options.
Gretta - Nikki and her family are staying in two connecting rooms and they still saved SO MUCH money.
If you can swing this go for it. It's the best deal they've offered since 9/11.
You can figure a savings of about 43% on the room portion of the package. www.mousesavers.com has an easy "formula" breakdown of what your family could save.
And Caity - Walt Disney World is probably the easiest place on earth to take a baby. They have baby supplies behind every counter, a Baby Care Center in each park (with places to do diaper changes, nurse privately, buy baby stuff, etc.), and lots of places to sit. I say, bust out a Disney Visa and make it happen! :)
Well, I'm not endorsing debt, exactly, but...it IS the happiest place on earth...
