So upon everyone's recommendation, I signed up for mousesavers and eagerly awaited their next email. It came out last week and had discount codes for winter/spring. Only problem is there are blackout dates and some Disney properties don't participate, so you have no way of knowing when and where it will work. Mousesavers recommended Small World Vacations. They are a travel agency that specializes in Disney.. best of all they are free to use since Disney pays them a %. They have access to all the promotional codes and when/where they can be used etc. We knew we wanted to stay at the Animal Kingdom Lodge since Hailey is obsessed with animals. So we started with that. I gave them the ideal dates we were looking for and what we wanted. Also, told them we were somewhat flexible on dates if we could find a good deal. They came back with the original dates we wanted with a price that shocked me in a good way. I'm talking a savings of at least $1k of what the Disney site quoted us. I was beyond pleased and now we are going the end of April staying at the Animal Kindgom Villas - Kidani Village with a Savanna view in a 1 bedroom villa. I am so freaking excited. The travel consultant was even excited as apparently it's really hard to get deals on the villas. Apparently, Disney releases rooms that qualify for the discount on a daily basis. They just released that one that day. They are also booking the character breakfasts for us too. Anyway, I've had a great experience with Small World Vacations and would highly recommend them!!! Also, if you are thinking of going to Disney this winter/spring there's a super discount code out there, so you should take advantage of it. Mousesavers is great too as it had all the info there and led me to Small World Vacations.
Re: Disney/MouseSavers/Small World Vacations RAVE
hey missy! ygm!
Awesome! We will be down there the last week of April too! I called the Disney line for Airline Employees yesterday to see if we could get one of the new Pirate Rooms and I was sure they wouldn't have any left but they did and the price they quoted me was AWESOME- like 60% off! But FIL decided to just extend their room for a couple extra nights so we can stay there. But I have also heard great things about Small World- so glad it worked out for you!
Could you please e-mail me the details as well? We have been toying around with this idea for the summer. smanoles at yahoo dot com. TIA
