Hi, Renee! Due to the popularity of the Value Family Suites, they do fill up quickly. It will be fantastic when the
Art of Animation Resort opens which will house many more of these fabulous, budget friendly suites (near Pop Century.)
This might help you out - if booking a Room Only package, you just need to put down a deposit equal to one night's stay, with the balance due at check-in. If you book an entire package (room and tickets - with or without dining) you need to put down a $200 deposit with the balance due 45 days prior to your arrival.
If that still does not work within your budget, and the rooms are sold out by the time you book, perhaps you can opt for 2 standard rooms that are connecting. You will not have the kitchenette in this scenario, but still have plenty of space.
I am so happy to hear you are planning ahead with your budget. It will be much more fun when you know you have saved for it and have enough Mickey Dollars to go and enjoy the magic! To save money when you are booking, look
HERE for special offers, and avoid expensive add-ons like park hopping and Water Park options. (nice to have, but pricey!) Good luck to you!
