NO RECENT POSTS - WHOOPS!

Since retiring, we have been spending so much time doing things, that posting to the site somehow got pushed into the background.

But, planning another trip to WDW next year has inspired the return to the blog.

Howver, it is more imperative now with the economy in the state it is in to watch for the WDW specials and deals when booking our vacation, but this does not just apply to us.

WDW has changed packages again as always, and it is sometimes hard to determine what is and what is not included. The Magic Your Way plans can be confusing if you do not carefully review them. It is not just the basic cost that changes, and sometimes seems to be a bargain, but what you get with the plan.

What is missing in the plans?

Tips that once were included in some packages are gone.
Restaurants offer different meals at some.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. By, adding more packages, and changing up the names of the plans, it is easy to create an appearance that you are still getting everything that was included during your last visit. Not the case.

It is understandable that prices go up, and things have to change. But, even though everything is listed on the website, it is still difficult at times not to find some of the changes.

So, ask questions when you book your next vacation plan. Understand you will be paying more for the same package you had last time, and that you will be spending more money unless you choose to go to a less expensive resort on the property.

And don't forget to factor in travel costs!

Nonetheless, in the long run, we still love WDW and will somehow figure out a way to get in the next trip. Hope you do the same.
