Did you guys see this on Mamasource?
I've seen them before, but always thought there was a catch because it seems too good to be true.
Have you used this deal before?

Just trying out the website, I put in Dallas to Los Angeles and staying in the Courtyard Marriott, it comes out to 5 nights at $190.
Okay, I just thought of something. Is that $190 for 2 people? We have 4 in our family. So it would be $380 a night for a family of 4?
Seems like I would have spent that anyway on airfare alone.
I saw the fine print and you can use only one voucher per room. So, you will need to pay your own way for two of the 4 people. Plus you have to pay additional for more than one park day. With a family of 6, it doesn’t seem like this would be a good deal for us. Its not like I can have 3 rooms…that wouldn’t make financial sense. And there are much better deals than rack rate at the hotels for 6 days. Sounded awesome, until I read the fine print.
Now, if I just took one of my kids…or me and my husband, it may be worth it.
Plus, for $200 a night, you can stay on site at Disney world and get many more benefits than staying off site.
Disney is the most crowded place on earth. I tell everyone the year we stayed at the Polynesian we rode 10 times the rides and had a blast. You can take the small boat from the resort to MK or go anywhere from the TTC just behind the Polynesian. Right now they have 30% off rooms.
The year we drove back and forth we spent in line and in traffic. It was miserable.
when I put in LAX to orlando it said that the hotel was $220/night minimum of 7 nights. But I think the tix were 2 days so then you would have to pay the extra days. The $190 is PER NIGHT. not total for 5 nights. Each voucher is for 2pp and one voucher per room so for 4 pp you might need 2 rooms or pay retail for 2 plane tix (and park tix). Plus it only has a 1 day Disneyland ticket so you have to pay for additional days. Not sure whether you can upgrade the tix from this offer at the park. To me it seems like this is NOT a good deal. you can find rooms near the resort (with no minimum stay) for about $100/night that would accommodate your family of 4 all together. I imagine airfare would run $250-$300 per person for the flight. (try to fly in to John Wayne/Orange County/SNA as it is MUCH closer and less traffic than LAX). Good neighbor hotels can bundle park tix for you for extra savings.
