We are planning our 1st visit, 2 adults, 2 children 4 &6, looking to fly out on 2/15 and stay 7 days, I believe we will be eligible for the free meal plan b/c our visit starts during the free time frame, does it end early though b/c the free period does not cover our whole visit? We are looking at the moderate resorts and no hopper b/c we are 1st timers. Any suggestions to keep our cost down… thanks
Mike–you can swap discounts if they are both available at the same resort hotel over the same time period. It isn’t always simple, so for this I suggest setting up your booking with a travel agent who understands your intent, so that they can get you into something to start with that’s most likely to be swappable..
If one books free dining and later a better room discount or AP discount comes out, is it simple to upgrade to the better deal if there is availability?
Specifically, I am hoping for a good AP discount the week of 4/15 to 4/21 as i plan to go again in November but if free dining or a regular room only discount becomes available first, can i book it and later replace it with the AP discount?
Thx in advance
Hi Michelle–depends on when you arrive, how long you stay and at what hotel–without that I can’t extimate, as for hotel costs three nights could cost $400, or 7 nights $3000, depending on when and where….
