ependydad...Doug 176 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 As things go, I've got another wild bug up my tush idea - we're headed to Key West this December. My current plan and schedule has us taking 5 days to get there, but I've been wondering about the wild hair idea of beating feet to Orlando so that we could spend a night at FW and go to Hollywood Studios for the Christmas Lights display. So, I just priced it out- 2 adults, a 11 year old and a 2 year old. Room price was $135 after taxes. 1-day ticket price worked out to be about $305. I assume I'm picking the absolute worst setup being just 1 day for each. But, are there any discounts to be had or am I looking at rack-rates and that's it? I checked UnderCoverTourist and they were slightly more expensive. I also seem to recall that Florida Residents do not get any discounts on the 1-day tickets (not that I qualify- just thinking about all avenues). The only other thing I'm wondering is if there is some kind of friends and family discount- I know a couple of non-fiends that work for Disney. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 $440 for one night and one park visit? I LOVE Disney...but that price would force me to say "no". Maybe other fiends can offer some money saving tips. Best of luck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ependydad...Doug 176 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Yeah, it's not looking good for the idea unless there is a tie in to my other thread... We'll see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But, are there any discounts to be had or am I looking at rack-rates and that's it? Pretty much this. I'd be surprised if any discounts turned up that type of year for a 1 night room stay. If you luck into one, it's likely to be small. As for tickets... one day tickets are the absolute worst value at WDW. The per day price doesn't really start to go down below "Yikes!" until you get around 4-5 days. I doubt you'll find any legitimate discounted tickets to be had. UT would have been my one suggestion to check. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Santa ... Shannon 160 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Yep. One day is a pricey proposition. A somewhat cheaper option might be to do the Christmas party at MK instead, save @ $30 per head. If a member of your party is military or a vet you can save even more on the party.
