Can someone please just tell me where to stay when we go to Disney......
I'm such a planner at times, and I'm a HUGE bargain hunter... but I am totally blanking when it comes to our FIRST Disney FL trip! Like an overwhelming mental block that I don't understand! on/off property, rental points??? this is TRULY foreign to me!
Maybe I should just use a travel agent, but that may KILL me cause usually i'm so good at doing things myself and saving money! I feel like i wouldn't get the best deal with an agent? true?
I wish someone would just give me a choice - like between 2-3 places to stay.... and I could go from there. Can anyone help with that??? I can totally shop airfare myself, and rental cars and cheap tickets... but it's the accommodations that are mentally blocking me?
Here's quick details:
First family trip in a LONG time - we probably wouldn't get back there for years and prob last trip with my WHOLE family.
We have 3 boys (5,7 & 9).... BUT - - nonadventurous. My 5 & 7 year old WON"T go on many rides... so it's more about the experience than rides. we LOVE shows!
We are bring my 70+ parents with us. They are pretty mobile.
Also taking 3 other adult family members (my brothers) - who are very adventurous.
SO - 7 adults, 3 kids. DO we find a place and stay together? Do we book 2-3 rooms?
I'm cheap. OK - frugal. At first I was thinking on-site to avoid rental cars and make it easier on my parents if they want to leave a park. But then i was thinking off-site to save $ cause this whole trip is a stretch for us.
It will be in the fall - most likely early October. One week.My boys are actually MOST excited thinking about legoland, and not even so much disney.
SO - - WHere would you stay? Besides Legoland and Magic Kingdom... what else is a MUST??? I do have a superhero fan! What should we do while they are young - thinking maybe we can get back there when they actually LIKE rides? (teenage years?)
Can someone PLEASE give me 2 or 3 places they could recommend I look at even to START for pricing??? and what type of room/suite/condo???
PLEASE help... all advice greatly appreciated.
