room sharing arrangements

[satsuke]

I was wondering if it's every arranged through the board to share hotel spaces for a night or more while touring at wdw? I'm trying to get back to the world for a couple of days (aren't we all) and am hoping this is indeed possible.

Funny how trips go ,. I didn't leave disney property for 5 months in 1992 (WDWCP - main street operations) and couldn't get enough ,. 2 trips to WDW and 1 to DL later and it's still not enough .(too bad they don't do park hoppers with no expiration date for a reasonable price anymore .. I'm trying to get down and goto Everest, Stitch, new spaceship earth and such .. so much changes in 3 years.).

When are you looking to go? Some discounts may be available to help keep your room rate down.

I am sure you could probably arrange something thru this board or others, even something like Craig's list, but my concern would be one of safety and security with someone that you don't know.

That is always a risk when meeting someone sight unseen like I'm thinking (for both parties) .. I suppose it's a product of our times .. I had gotten several responses to a similar request over on the DisneyDollarless / TheMouseforLess lists prior to 9/11 .. recently ,. not a peep.

I could go with a third option ,. which might an interesting alternative .. Disney has sent out things this last year asking any former college program participant to work for certain times .. I emailed if a 15 year hiatus was a problem ,. they didn't seem to think so .. though the idea of moving back into vista way for a few weeks with a bunch of college kids is both appealing and scary. Now if they didn't only need food service and groundskeepers (I was a n attractions host .. steam train).

When do you want to visit? and for how long?

unknown at this point .. probably mid february to catch spaceship earth fresh off it's rehab. I was trying to get the trip to coincide with a trip for work to Orlando, but that got nixxed (I get to go to cisco certification training instead ,. )

Only other factor is Southwest airlines ,. they seem to run a special twice a year or so of $50 each way from Kansas City to Orlando (they have 8 or so nonstops every day) .. makes it a bit more affordable when the airfare is ~$130 total.
