My best friend is moving to South Korea at the end of this year/beginning of next. As I am going to WDW a week from tomorrow (YAY!) he told me how much he would really like to go to WDW himself, as the last time he went he was 3 (he's 22 now). So the idea popped into my head that me and our other two closests friends plan a trip to WDW for December as a suprise Christmas/going away present for him. If we can pull it off, we're going to have his parents make up a lie to tell him so he can request off of work and suprise him at the last second. We would arrive at Disney December 17 and check out the 20th, not going to a park on the 20th (3 days, 4 nights).
Looking at the costs, we rounded it up to 700 dollars per person (split 3 ways; my best friend wouldn't pay anything except for gifts if he wanted them). This includes ticket/hotel, gas money, and the extra option for the meal plan.
Here are my questions: is it better to book through Disney or through a travel agent? How far in advance do I need to book the hotel rooms since it's near Christmas time? We would be staying at one of the value resorts.
I'm sorry if this sounds too long--I never planned a trip to Disney myself, and I really would love for this to happen. I always wanted to take him there, and this may be my last chance. Thank you all in advance for helping me. :mickey:
