Caribbean Beach Resort..bear with me

hey folks
so im pricing up next year, just having a fiddle.. around the dates 23rd Oct-1st Nov so 9 nights for me hubby and dd 13.

I originally thought to stay at the Hilton Lake Buena Vista but its coming up at £2560! while CBR is only coming up at £1628! if I add the DDP onto this the difference is only £607...so food for 3 adults £22 each a day...you with me lol

do you think this sounds ok? or is there a special reason CBR is coming out a lot cheaper than a Springs hotel?

Im trying to hold off booking until flights are out as we have connecting flights to get

I've often found that some onsite hotel rates can be cheaper than the off-site Springs hotels. Plus, there's a 10% discount off for Disney hotels next October. What I would say, is that standard rooms can sell out quickly, so if you think you might want it, then it might be worth booking fur just 1 person and paying a /£50 deposit to secure it, then add on the rest of your family and the dining plan once you're 100%. If you book through Quidco, you'll get done cashback too

The price for CBR seems about right, we are going for four nights next month and our nightly rate is about the same. I wouldn't worry about why the Hilton might be more expensive, hotel prices can vary.

I didn't understand what you meant about the difference only being £607 when you add on a dining plan? Or £22 a day? The QSDP is £719 and the DDP is £1025.

I knew this would confuse people! So the hilton is 2560, CBR and the DDP is 3167 (I'm not including ticket price)...difference between the two £607 that works out £22 per person per day for food... is that better

I don't think I would compare the two, I would compare the apples for apples rate £1628 vs £2560. Clearly CBR is a better rate.

Not for the ops dates at free dining ends on 3rd October next year, and there's a 10% discount offer instead.

Yes, the last check in date used to be 30th November, but it's all changed for next year. October and part of November are now some of the busiest times of year so they don't need to offer it any more in order to fill rooms.
