And I'm going back!
Hubby, who obsessively checks the RCI website for great deals on DVC exchanges, found a week in a one-bedroom unit at Saratoga Springs in April for just 15 exchange points as opposed to the usual 40-ish (RCI exchange points don't correspond to DVC points). He erroneously thought my annual pass would still be valid, so he put the week on hold. However, I told him not to cancel the hold just yet so I could fantasize about another trip. Then I realized that this would be the perfect time to visit Universal's Diagon Alley if I could make the numbers crunch right.
I checked airfare and found reasonable rates out of Harrisburg. We decided on a rental car so we could go to Universal when the weather was best, and hubby found a good deal through our warehouse store's travel agency. Universal has two-day tickets with a third day free at the same rate as the normal two-day tickets. We have old WDW no-expiration passes with minor-park days left, which we can use at the Disney water parks and Disney Quest. We'll be staying just a short walk from Downtown Disney and a boat ride from Old Key West and the Port Orleans resorts, so we'll plan on dining at both resorts and pick up some beignets while we're at it. And all the other Disney resorts will be just a bus ride away, no transferring, thanks to the DTD bus stop - or if we're in a rush we can just take the rental car.
We'll do the three days at Universal when the weather is nicest, visit one or both Disney water parks (they'll both be open) on the hottest days, and do DisneyQuest or resort-hop if it rains. For meals, we'll eat wherever we can get a last-minute ADR so we can keep the schedule flexible in addition to visiting our favorite DTD counter-service places and trying the food trucks for the first time.
27 days and counting!
. I think next February when our real estate conference is in Orlando might be the perfect time to suck it up and go check out Universal.
Yay, CCP!
