I decided to plug in flying in and out of Buffalo (BUF) on May 16-21, 2013 for two adults and two kids. With direct flights, the cheapest price I was able to pull up was via the Disney’s All Star Sports Resort at $307.62 per person or $1,230.46 for the total package. Note, the price is calculated per person based on the free children. “The savings you receive from this offer will not be specifically displayed upon searching for or purchasing a Getaways vacation package. The savings will be divided among all travelers on the Getaways booking. In other words, you will be quoted a lower per person cost when searching for a vacation package with a child eligible for this offer than you would if you were traveling with an adult in place of that child.”
I priced the same flights separately at $342.32 x 4 = $1,369.28 + taxes & fees $189.92 = $1,559.20
The hotel booked separately would be $672.35
Therefore, you can see this promotion creates a savings of over $1,000, which can be used to cover the cost of tickets. If you have any desire to visit the American Disney Parks, now may be a good time to consider going.
