Hi! Just a quick question about flying into Orlando from Seattle. It's a long flight and usually takes about a day. My question is, should we take a red eye and get in early morning, take a nap and hit the parks? OR should we pay for two extra nights and instead spend our arrival day in Downtown...

Unfortunately, our flights are $500 each alone! We are spending seven days in Orlando, 5 at Disney and 2 at Universal. Plus, we're big foodies so we're really looking forward to some nice dinners out, although well have breakfast in the room and and carry some snacks for lunch. Thanks for the tips!

I think a deluxe resort is our price range unfortunately. Life of a college student! I definitely do want to be immersed in the Disney magic, that is my biggest reason for on site :) Thanks for your tips!

Our one reservation about going in January or February is the weather... we're looking forward to a hot vacation and though we are Canadian and might not feel it as much, I want it to be warm!! Plus I love the water rides at both WDW and Universal. How did you find the weather down there...

Thanks for the tips! :)

I love both the Port Orleans resorts, those are the ones we're hoping for! Thanks for your help :)

Unfortunately we're coming from Canada and I don't trust myself to drive around Florida, lol, so driving ourselves isn't an option!

To be honest, this thread is convincing me to stay on site. I've been to WDW once two years ago and probably won't be returning for a couple of years. I want to do this trip right!

Thanks for your help :)

Thanks for the tips! Maybe we'll just do one or the other and not both :) I hear there are some serious snacks to take advantage of too so maybe we'll make that our makeshift lunch or something! Thank you, I'm so excited to be finished! Have you been in February before? I'm looking forward to...

Thanks for letting me know!

I think we'd probably go out for lunch and dinner, since we're looking forward to taking advantage of the food options! We were thinking of going in february to make our trip cheaper but the prospect of cold weather is really deterring us. A vacation isn't a vacation unless its in hot weather...

I do think we'd go back in the middle of the day, as we plan on getting to the parks by rope drop but you're right - the room is just to shower and sleep! You make some good points, I think staying onsite MIGHT be the best choice for us! (that makes me happy)

You're right. I hadn't thought about the cost of uber! The only reservation we have about staying at a Value is the space. I know the rooms are small and with three adults, it might get a little cramped! Thanks for your thoughts :)

I totally would prefer to stay onsite, and I think I'll regret it if I don't!! But I might need help convincing my bank account! I probably won't come back for a while, and I want to do this trip right. There are three of us, and we'd like to do the trip for no more than $2500 each. That seems...
