Question

Answer 1

Congratulations on making the decision to plan your first magical Walt Disney World vacation!

You've asked a few things here, so I'll try to hit them all...

The buy 4 get 3 FREE makes for an affordable way to experience the magic of Disney. If you can travel between February 2, 2009 and March 29, 2009 you'll also be eligible to receive a $200 gift card!

My favorite moderate resorts to recommend are Coronado Springs Resort and Caribbean Beach Resort. Both are beautifully themed and have their perks. I prefer the theming of Coronado Springs and appreciate that it is the only moderate resort that has a dedicated bus (other moderates share with other resorts). It has a fantastic playground and feature pool. Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort has recently updated their rooms and swimming pool. With the new pool and kiddie splash park, a water park visit isn't necessary for the little ones. The other benefit I find with the moderates is that you have a refrigerator which can come in very handy with little ones. The resort shops have a limited selection of groceries, dry goods and sundries.

We prefer to park hop, but it is certainly a good way to trim the budget, and you won't have any problem spending a full day in each of the theme parks your first trip.
