    Am I right in thinking that if the contest winner was over 25 the guest they took with them wouldn't have to be? I.e.: if hubby (27) won he could take me (23)?

    if you are under 25 in some states car hire companies add a serious surcharge, easily totally a few hundred a week. So if one of you is over 25, you should be fine.

    Also worth pointing out the hotel in the prize is one of the ones that have 'resort fees' among others so you will have at least a £50 bill to pay and whatever else they feel like charging (pool/safe/car etc)

    Only bumping as it's on the first page. Not all hotels add the 'resort' fee onto international travellers. We stayed at a resort for three weeks at Christmas and they didn't charge us anything extra at all, even though there were signs everywhere showing the fee ($14 per night). I guess it's at their discretion though.

    ETA: The location of this hotel is super for Disney. Two mins and you're at Animal Kingdom x
