[quote=Anonymous]I think it can be worth it with kids the right age (elementary range is great) because everything truly is catered to families.

But I recommend using a travel agent because they have access to packages, will login at 6 am to make your dining reservations, and can just generally coordinate whatever you need without paying extra. In fact about 3 weeks after we booked, our agent emailed us that she had been able to apply our booking to a new deal that was just released and saved us like $400 without us doing a thing. It felt like such a luxury not having to be the one handling all the logistics so I could basically book airfare and then show up.

Oh but my advice is don’t use the dining package. We ended up hating be locked in (e.g. my kids always wanted a slice of pizza or something not offered as part of the kid meal package and we ended up having to load up on snacks we wouldn’t have otherwise bought at the end to use up credits). I don’t think it saved any money either.

Also I agree with some PPs that you do need to prepare to spend money or it won’t be worth it. For instance instead of waiting for the shuttle from our hotel we called a Minnie Van (offered within Disney property through Lyft — included car seats, which is great). Also, I’d rather have fewer park days with genie + than an extra park day or 2 if it means cutting the perks. The hotels are so nice that you can plan to just hang at the pool and attend some of the free events across the resort properties or do a character breakfast at Chef Mickey’s or whatever to stretch your trip.
