Here's to hoping you're right about discounts coming, because the pathetic 15% off moderates that dropped today is laughable. The only thing that caused me to do is call my travel agent, discuss options, dump the unbelievably expensive dining plan, cancel -no joke- 11 dining reservations and upgrade my Cabana Bay package. My next move, if Disney doesn't like the idea of releasing better room discounts, is to move my entire hotel stay (10 nights) to Universal property.
The dining plan savings alone is $900. Cancelling reservations that sells booze and isn't a part of dining plan options will easily save me another $200-500. We, uh, like to drink when neither has to drive.
Running the numbers, I'd save more staying at C-Bay and using Uber for Disney transportation than staying onsite at Disney and using their free transportation.
And theme park wise, I'm sure I could make do with only one day at Epcot, Animal Kingdom and MK. I've already decided not to waste my time with DHS or Disney Springs (never a real fan of shopping centers), surely I can make a trip of three days there and spend the rest at Universal parks. There's always Wet n Wild (though I don't know how wet nor wild I'll want to be in early November), Sea World, and local attractions. A few days of hotel loafing sounds amazing as well.
I'm more and more excited about the second half of my trip than I am about the first. No real planning, no dinner reservations (almost everyone has told me there's plenty of good eats with walk up availability) and no stupid ride reservations.
I hope this message reaches the ears of those who are in charge. Im your target audience. Female, solid job, single, early 30s, no children, disposable income. More or less a WDW noob. I haven't even hit on the lack of new rides compared to those up the street because frankly, there's new rides up the street and I'll spend my money and time there. Is...is this what you want?
