Question

Planning a trip to Disney next fall...any deals currently? 5 people in party...inside park?

Answer 1

If by "next fall" you mean 2009, you won't see any deals now.  If 2008, the person who sent you to mousesavers is dead on.  

A couple more thoughts: when you go and where you stay are the biggest drivers of your costs.  Disney changes resort prices all the time--for example, three times in November alone!! See this page for Disney World price seasons for 2008, and links to forecast price seasons in 2009: http://yourfirstvisit.net/planning-your-...

You should definitely stay at a Disney resort. However, a family of 5 is the toughest size to work with (unless one of your party is under 3, in which case you can reserve a 4-person room.)  See this for general guidance on where to stay at Walt Disney World: http://yourfirstvisit.net/planning-your-...

Hope this helps and have a great trip!! Dave

Answer 2

Disney doesn't release their promotions too far in advance.

The Aug/September Free Dining was released in April but the October - December promotion for 2008 wasn't released until August.

Don't wait for the promotion to book your trip - book as soon as you have your travel dates.  If a promotion is released, you or your travel agent (like me!) just have to call Disney and ask them to adjust the existing reservation.  

The most economical resort for a party of five is the Moderate resort - Port Orleans Riverside  which has rooms that can accomodate five, but one bed is a trundle bed which is sized for a child.

Some of the deluxe rooms can also accomodate five people with 2 queen beds and a day bed.

The Fort Wilderness Cabins and the All-Star Music Family Suites can accomodate six.

Sometimes, getting two value rooms can be the least expensive option.
