Will I still have to pay for tickets again?


If you want free dining then you need new tickets... Or perhaps stay at AKL for the 14 days?

You don't need to buy another set of tickets as the 14 day tickets continue to be active once you check out of AKL.

The Options you have are:

1 Extend the AKL stay to full 14 days. You would get 14 days ddp.

2 Downgrade AKL to a moderate resort like Port orleans, increase it to 14days and upgrade the dining to ddp - less cost overall than 14 nights at AKL.

3 Extend AKL by however many days you can afford and book a value for the remaining days. You'd have ddp at AKL including your check out day and your refillable mugs would still be active at your second resort but you would need to pay out of pocket for food for your value stay.

4 Keep AKL as it is and book value resort for your other days - you only get free breakfast at a value so would not make financial sense to pay for another set of tickets.

Can I pleas have opinions... after another person posted about first choice offering deluxe dining with all packages we are looking at:

29th September 2019, 2 adults 14 nights. caribbean beach, tickets, deluxe dining plan and flights- flying gatwick to sanford and includes transfers to hotel- £5088 after cashback

Thinking it is a good price as it includes deluxe dining (I know this is a lot of food but its our honeymoon so wanting to try lots of signatures and we love appetizers!)

Disney are showing that as £4,522.00 excluding flights. £566 for 2 return flights sounds ok to me!

Sounds ok but Id check Thomas cook too as it comes into Orlando with Disney Express which is a great start to the holiday

You probably know this already, but your wording makes me want to type it just in case: you can upgrade any package to deluxe dining no matter who you book with or which resort you choose. You simply pay the difference between deluxe and quick service when staying at CBR, which appears to be included in this quote. They're not giving you deluxe dining for free.

You have to compare apples to apples. You can also get 3.5% cashback if you book direct today and OP did not mention whether or not a gift card is included. Just the cashback brings the difference to £724 and it could be more if the offer does not include a gift card.

Hi all, I was looking at booking 5 nights at AKL on 29/10/19. This was available from Virgin and other sites a few days ago but when I search now I get nothing ☹. Anyone have any idea if this will become available again or have they stopped selling for a reason?

If you look at some other threads you’ll see this is common. Something to do with Star Wars opening. They’ll release more soon I think but price may have changed
