This trip started like many others before it, with a sale!
Keep in mind that my family and I still had not gone on our first trip to WDW,which was scheduled for December. While I was online I noticed there was a sale with AirTran. Airfare was a steal leaving PHL direct flight to MCO for $78 dollars round trip.(bananas)
I knew we would go again after seeing the sale, there was only one catch it was only valid for flights leaving and returning in the last two weeks of January. Convincing hubby was easy too. It would be a little more than a month after our first trip and we don't know if we will even like it then ........but its only $78 dollars.
He was okay with it if i really wanted to do it....if you make everything sound like we are saving tons of money it makes you feel better about spending the money. We basically had everything we had APs and the flights were dirt cheap. All that is left is resort, food, rental cars, souvenirs, etc(see its a deal)
Our dates were January 21st- 29th. Next was where would we be staying?
I automatically picked Pop Century again I mean its a value so we save money, but we are still in that Disney bubble.
So we booked POP century ........but then someone on another board wrote about cancelling there trip at the last minute, they had to get rid of their reservation and were selling it cheaply.
They were DVC members and since it was less than a month to go they preferred to rent out the ressie.
Sold to me for the little price of about $500. There was a little problem though we only had the reservation from the 23-29th, no problem they just kindly rented us more points altogether I paid $700 including fees and all. This actually is cheaper then staying at pop so we saved more money!
After securing our accommodations something didn't feel right I mean we had space so why don't we invite my sister and nephew.(my motto the more the merrier) They didn't find their flights on sale like us but since we were paying for the rooms, my sister was more than happy to come along!!!
Now before we reveal where we stayed (split stays) lets start the introductions.
