First, I'd visit www.mousesavers.com, www.disneyfoodblog & www.allearsnet.com to sign up for their newsletters to keep in the loop about WDW. Special offers can also be found
here as well as
here on the WDW website. Have you ordered a free planning dvd? If not, please click
here to do so. This is a great way to begin exploring the resorts, parks, and attractions.
One of the best options for traveling on a budget are the
Value Resorts. And if you'd like more space within the value budget, the Art of Animation is a new resort opening in the spring of 2012 that will have family suites. Take the time to explore the resorts through the above links to see which fits your needs best then you could call 407-WDW-MAGIC for a free quote or 1-407-WDW-PLAN since you are traveling as a group.
I'm just getting you pointed in the right direction with first selecting a resort, but I hope it helps to get you started. With the space limitations, if you send
me another question, I'll gladly help with the info on the tickets!
