[QUOTE="Baron Opal, post: 5655196, member: 10433"] Disney World has become the exclusive Baronial vacation spot. [U]Stay at the Resort[/U] - some of the places are a bit dated, some are new. Considering how much time you will spend in your room (little), it doesn't really matter. We prefer staying at one of the original resorts as they have access to the monorail, which is very handy. The African resort / park is really nice, but isolated. If you stay there, you will have a significantly longer bus ride to and from other parks. [U]Get the meal plan[/U] - The prices look expensive, but you save money. It will cost more in gas to leave and return from the park. There are a variety of plans; you end up with a budget of "meals" and "snacks" to spend as you wish. A few places are "signature" restaurants, and require two meals. [U]Concierge service [/U]- Spendy, but nice. Free snacks are available at the concerge, which can include oatmeal, cold cereal, toast, &c. for breakfast, some amazing wings for lunch if you are at the Polynesian, and some great apertifs for a night cap at the Wilderness Lodge. You can only visit the conceierge at your resort, and each one is different. Basically, you get to spend your breakfast "meal" somewhere else since you are having breakfast at the concierge. Also, you get access to the concierge, who can help smooth out snags and change reservations. You don't get to "bump" other people, but if there is an opening, they will find it. [U]Visit allears.org! [/U]- It is a great site with a lot of great information. It is NOT a Disney site, so you can get some independant information. They have experiences, pictures, prices... It's the strategy site to get the most out of your vacation! [U]Consider booking a vacation package [/U]- The representitives will spend all day talking with you, if necesary.
