Hi

I am looking at going to Florida in September and have a few questions-if anyone can help me :beer:

I have found the Loews Royal Pacific for £608 for 7 nights but the website says it doesn't include resort fees and local city taxes but includes hotel fees and taxes-is this a good price and does anyone know how much the extra fees are?

Hi Trello,

What website did you find that price for Royal Pacific?

Thanks

Disney have released their free dining dates for 2014. For bookings made by 1st July 2013 for selected arrivals between 1 Jan 2014 - 8 Apr 2014 and 27 Apr 2014 – 30 Nov 2014.

They are offering the $200 Disney gift card as well.

No discounts on the hotels that I can see though this time.

I am hoping to take my family out to Disney land in 2014. My kids will be aged 4 and 6.5yrs old.

Would it be wise to get a hotel on site or would it better to book a villa/hotel outwith Disney and hire a car?

Which would work out better and most cost effective?

Also, When is the best time to book everything? Should I leave till the last minute or book well in advance? Trying to keep costs to a minimum in true MSE style.

I love Disney world I normally book in advance especially if you are going in high season

I have always stayed off site and hired a car as I find this more cost effective but you can get great deals on Disney hotels. Its whether you want to do just Disney or other attractions in Orlando .

I think we are looking at May 2014 for our trip out...and will see if we can pick up a short notice flight.

I see just now, that there is some May flights by Thomson coming in at £260 pp from B'Ham to Sanford

I'm sure this is somewhere in the thread but its quite long now and don't want to read all the way through it !!

I am due to go to Disney in 4 weeks !!! Very excited but I heard you can book the Disney Magical Express for a free return trip to/from Orlando airport.

I booked just our hotel direct off Expedia and now would like to use this service but cannot find any link to it when doing a search on the Disney website. Also someone mentioned you can only book it through your travel agent, is this true? Can I not just contact them and give them my hotel booking ref to secure our places?

Curtis, you'll find details about the Magical Express here (including the number you need to ring and book):
