I'm setting myself a target & sharing it...

You probably know this anyway and it may not suit your plans but universal hotels often have a stay more save more offer that drops the nightly rate significantly for longer stays. I think it's 5? nights. It might possibly be worth exploring.

LOL. That sounds like my face. It also sounds like my husband :-) It would be more expensive if you extended your trip over all but if you did a 9/5 yacht club RPR split it should be significantly cheaper :-)

Can I ask where do you get the airmiles from, how do yousave so many without flying to accrue them

Yes we are doing split stay this year to keep costs down. We are 2 adults, 3 teens.

Cheap hotel first 2 nights (comfort suites) £127 in total includes breakfast

7 nights at Yacht Club with DDP and 14 day tickets £3700

Dibb Villa 7 nights £700 (includes late check out as hate not having anywhere to go on last day, always feel lost lol)

1 night at HRH club £350.

That first night think about a cheap hotel, you are spending £400 really just for the DDP and a bed. Wake up early nice and fresh and check into Disney.

Are you hiring a car? Obviously what I said above would have an impact if you are not.

Happy planning

Good luck. Keep us updated. I'm planning on using my miles for miles + money next year. Patiently waiting for Tesco to do a miles boost. I do online surveys at e.rewards too. How do you collect yours?

Good luck ! I'm hoping to go to the animal kingdom lodge next year for my birthday saving like mad but it's my dream to stay there!

[Scaramouche]

Just in case it does make it a little cheaper... the stay and save at universal is 4 nights we managed to get that offer for November next year . Good luck!

We've paid £724 for 5 nights at RPR this August. 5 nights was cheaper than 4!

Since our reward flights last year we've got 263,395 saved between us.

It's broken down roughly as:

53,500 Virgin Credit Cards
119,500 American Express Gold Cards
86,000 Tesco Clubcard
3,000 Shops Away
1,500 E-Rewards

I have another 31,000 waiting in the wings with Tesco, pending Shops Away miles and the rest of my black credit card bonus. I can apply for another Amex card next month too, however, I am fastidious about paying off everything in full each month, always cancelling cards before any fees are due and running a very tight ship on the admin of it all!
