Well, I missed a chance at a cheap flight to WDW, and couldn't get much of a room discount. I checked COS->LAX, and what do you know, $450 tickets are going for $180-200!
I called DLR, and got a military (reserves) rate on a theme park view room at Grand Californianian for $149WD, $189WE. For the Thur-Fri-Sat nights (Oct 25-28), the total with taxes is only $617 + resort fee.
Next, I called to check rental car rates to compare to shuttle. I got a goverment rate at Hertz of $11 a day!!!!!
So, that is
air for 2 people: $448
Grand CA: $637
Rental car: $37
I haven't checked the 3 day tickets through base, but I think they are about $80 per.
That will give me air, room, car, and passes for under $1300.
I'm thinking of dropping the first night at Grand CA, and staying off site that first night. That would take another $100 or so off the price.
We got a 2-queen room, and am thinking of inviting another couple to split the cost of the room. :-)
Is there anything I'm missing from this planning?
