We are headed to WDW November 1 - 15 this year and I have been keeping an eye on our proposed airline tickets. The fare for our return flight is $209 on Sunday and $129 on Monday. There are 6 of us (5 ticketed, one is an infant) so we would save $400 on airfare by staying another night.
This is my dilema. We are staying DVC this year and do not have the points to add on another day (I don't want to rent points for one night but I did think about it). I also so not want to pay $610+tax for a 2 bedroom villa for 1 night, that would defeat the purpose of staying. I was thinking of either staying at a deluxe (BC, YC, GF, BW or CR) in one room (DH, DD 12, DD 5, DD 2, & DS 8 months) with DD 2 on the day bed and DS in a crib. Or getting two rooms at a moderate or value. I figure I can snag some sort of room only discount for the night. Would you stay or would you just go home?
I figure we would have to move but that wouldn't be a huge deal since I would have to pack us up to go home anyway and we could just live out o our suitcases for the 1 night. It might be a bit of an adventure for the kids (and for us). I figure we would just about break even with the room and food but it would add on another day to our vacation.
** DH works 100+ hours a week March - November, no exaggeration, so we desperately need a vacation come November. His hours shorten a bit after that but not too much and still 7 days a week. Oh, the joys of owning your own company! **
