Disney run this offer once a year only for the following year. Book between now and 6th July, 2017 for a 2018 holiday and you will get:
- FREE Quick-Service Dining Plan
- 14-Day Ultimate Ticket for the price of a 7-Day, including FastPass+
- $200 Disney Dollars
- FREE Memory Maker worth $169
Staying on resort at Disney may look more expensive, but the time you add in free transfers to/from MCO airport, resort transfers, etc it works out good value.
Not for everyone, but we are booking this offer!
Hope it helps anyone planning a 2018 holiday :smiley:
Oh and TopCashback gives 3.03% which tracks at the value of the holiday not the deposit value :smiley:

Took mine when he was 4. Makes a huge difference once they're a certain height (think it was 102cm) because it opens up so many more rides. People do give you weird looks when you take the 4 year old on Tower of Terror though.
In terms of whether this is worth it, there are cheaper ways of doing Disney by staying off-site. But if you like eating then you'll spend a load extra eating lunch in the park etc. Doing it with the dining plan means you're paying a lot more up front but then you just don't have to worry about this stuff when you're out there. Staying onsite also means you don't need a car, if you're happy to stay within the Disney complex whilst you're there. Even "free" cars included in packages can end up costing a bunch once you add on the various required insurance bits. If you want a hassle-free holiday then I can recommend this.

Seriously save the cash and take him/her in 5-10 years when they will remember at least some of it.

Dining plan was very handy, we ended up with hundreds of credits left...ended up coming back with about $5000 worth of sweets lol, every meal credit can be used for 3 snack credits....we literally had 6 bags full of sugar :laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:

Thanks for posting! How do you add the quick service dining plan? Seems to add a grand into my price? Cheers

It is free for some hotels 2018 certain dates - not Easter for example
It is not available free for the cheapest hotels they give free breakfast instead.

Think it might depend on the hotel you book too...don't think the moderate ones get it free

And a 25% increase on last year's like for like prices.
Disney can't blame that sort of increase on the £.

Agreed. I too booked this deal last year at £3300 for 2 adults and 3 kids but £4300 for next year :-(
The meal plan is brilliant though. Likewise came away with bags and bags of sweats but also bought adult meals with the kids allowance as they don't differentiate.

It isnt far off that due to weaker pound is it? perhaps more like 20%? Holiday in 2012 was around £1500 would be more like £2200 next year.

They are blaming it, plus tickets have an increase anyway. But they know people will still pay these prices.

Still good if you have to go to Disney, but on top of the price increases last year it came with free standard dining plan depending on the hotel you chose (unless this one does also and I've missed something).

For anyone who has actually been and paid for a holiday recently - is this the best price you can get. I'm thinking of taking my wife and our would be 2.5 year old next June.
Just never really looked before and don't know how to compare the cost. And what I'm getting for the money. Flights should be a good £350-£400 to Florida from Manchester I would imagine.

For such an expensive holiday I'd wait until your child is a bit older. We are going later this year on the equivalent deal to this and my daughter is 7. She will be just big enough to be able to go on the majority of the rides if she wants to (1.22m for a lot of rides). We went to Disneyland Paris when she was 3 and she doesn't really remember any of it!
If you do decide to go, there are definitely cheaper ways of doing it but as 'turnma' said, this is the most hassle-free option.

Taking a 2.5 yr old would be a waste in my opinion pal, Florida can be baking hot and would irritate a young child(it can irritate anyone) but most important would be that it's s heap of cash for a holiday your child won't really remember! 7-8 onwards would be ideal ages for kids in my own opinion.
