I have scoured the internet for the best deals. Hotwire, Travelocity, Orbitz, et al. You name it, I bet I have been there. But not necessarily. Was hoping that there was some sleeper sights out there that could offer me a good package. I will be coming from Portland and, preferably driving there in a rental. However, my wife and I would like to be able to fly back, but the fee for only taking a rental one way is HUGE. Almost as much as the total to rent the car for the week in the first place. That is my gripe so far.
So for all purposes, i'm probably assuming that we are going to have to either drive both ways ($158.47 + gas & 17 hours each way), or take a flight round trip ($168.00 RT/person). I have also found some cheap hotels in the area (Days Inn $38/night 3.8 miles from DCA or Alamo Inn $43/night .5 miles from DCA). So, all in all, those are okay options.
My question is, what would be the best way to purchase the tickets to the park? I have heard of AAA discounts, Disney Club Membership (I've never seen any info on it), and also the internet specials on the tickets. Do you think it would be worth our while to look into the Disney Club Membership? Where would I look? Or the AAA discount? Is it worth more then $60 in savings? We are looking to visit DCA about 3 days, but with the 2 other days free we might go for them all.
Any advise on what shows to see during that week? I hear a new ride will be open in Disney Cali... anything else?
Thank you all,
Lekta
