Trip is for 2 weeks but the ticket option offered with TUI was for the 14 day ultimate pass with 10 days Disney dining plan.

I’d shop around. There’s no harm in grabbing a couple other quotes.

Are you staying at Disney for the whole 2 weeks? If so, you'll get the dining plan for the whole 2 weeks. It's not possible to book free dining for just part of the holiday or only upgrade the dining plan for part of it too.

I agree with Loves2plan, the dining makes no sense. It covers the whole stay.
I think that is expensive. You could easily save £1000 on that trip booking DIY. We are 3 adults 1 child (age 5) travelling from LGW to MCO 2nd May to 16th May 2020, so very similar dates. However, we are staying at the Caribbean Beach hotel in a 5 bed room (standard room had run out) Our costs: CBR, upgraded dining plan & 14 day ultimate tickets £5420 Flights with BA (no luggage) £321 adult, £221 child = £1188 (luggage £80 extra each, if needed, BA have 23kg handluggage though) We don’t have a car this time, always have in the past, but found uber to be really cost effective for local trips. Car hire for Intermediate SUV from USrentacar with Alamo is showing at £471 today though. Also adding in your car parking charges £175. Grand Total £7254 Bare in mind that Pop Century is £900 cheaper than our hotel though & you have 2 adults, 2 children, you could probably save more than £1000. Set up an alert with skyscanner to keep an eye on flight prices. They go up & down constantly. Happy hunting

It sounds as if you've made your mind up, especially if you won't consider flying from anywhere but Bristol.
We've always had a 2+ hr journey to the airport, as we don't have one any closer! (Anglesey - Manchester) I would be seriously looking at the information that TUI have given you though - as other posters have said, it's not possible to only have 10 nights dining on a 14 day stay. Dining would be for the length of stay. I wouldn't say your quote is extortionate, given you're not prepared to make compromises. I wouldn't pay the price you've been quoted, and would look to DIY - especially as mid-May is quite possibly the cheapest time of year to go and flights should be sub-£500pp. I'd also be looking at pricing up mod/deluxe. However, with TUI your only option from your preferred airport, I guess the only question to answer is, are you happy with the price?

This is the Dining plan and ticket offerings from TUI. So even though paying for "10" days, do you think I would get the full 14? |

I can't see anything, but I also can't tell from that if you're staying at Disney for 10 days and somewhere else for 4 days, or at Disney for the whole 14 days at the same resort. Exactly where are you staying and how long for?
