In the past, I have mentioned Groupon in my posts. Today I was given another reason to love this company! Thanks to them we will be able to save about $400 on our trip! They have a great deal for a hotel stay in Kissimee, Fl. I did want to stay on Disney property but really, I think this will still offer all that we need. It's a good neighbor hotel, and is incredinly close to the resort. You can see Animal Kingdom from the property. They also offer a shuttle to and from the parks. Which works great for us, as that was one of my reasons for wanting to stay on property. Once we get there Id like to just park and use their transportation. I just love the feeling of saving so much and still not feel like Im missing out. My only withdraw about it is not being able to use Extra Magic Hours. However, with such young kids, I really think getting to the parks early and enjoying until park close everyday is plenty for them to handle. The parks close late enough that I dont see us having any problems getting through all that we want to. We are also going during a slower time, so I dont think we need the time to finish seeing the parks.
Has anyone reading this stayed at a Good Neighbor hotel as opposed to on property? Did you feel like you missed out on anything because of it? I really dont think we would. Other than the fun designs Disney has for their hotels, I dont feel its that much of a difference. Honestly its almost shocking how much less we could spend on that part of our trip. It doesnt allow us to do a dining plan either but Im fine with taking care of that out of pocket during our stay. Especially since it means we could more easily eat where we want in or out of Disney. Once I have this booked, I will need to then book a stop over place for the trip home. On the way back I know we will all be tired, so I dont see us making a straight 16hour trip. I just dont think it makes much sense to try. I have one booked for the trip to the resort. We plan to leave late Saturday night, when the kids are ready for bed. That way they will sleep the majority of the way there. Ive booked a hotel, a couple hours outside of Orlando for us to stay in Sunday night. I figured it would be smart to stop and get rested, so once we arrive in Orlando we are ready to get out and play. I fear that if we drove straight in, we would get there and want to sleep the entire first day. We can get up nice and rested Monday morning, have a good breakfast, go check in and play!
