Marc,
<<Thinking about going to Disney for our Honeymoon.>>
Congratulations. We just spent two weeks there for our honeymoon
and we had a blast.
<<Wondering if anyone has any advise on what hotel to stay in at
the park. or should we stay in the park?>>
Of course....now a lot of this depends on your personal taste, but
for me, the *only* place to stay is AT a hotel on property, and on the monorail (Contemporary, Polynesian, Grand Floridian). We stayed at both
the Contemporary and the Polynesian. The room was more comfortable at the Contemporary, but the Polynesian had "style" (as Gallagher would say). If
I had the money, I'd bump up the scale one more notch and stay at the
Grand Floridian.
<<Are the packages (air, hotel, tickets) cheaper than not having a
package?>>
In general, the packages won't save you much money. For our whole
two weeks (twelve nights, r/t air from San Francisco, meals, tickets and transportation) we pieced the best prices we could for each part of the
trip and it wound up costing us around $3500. Had we done this on a
package, it *could* have cost us close to twice that amount (according to what I've read). Of course, this required numerous phone calls to WDW to
fine tune our lodging and discounts, then a lot of monitoring of flight
costs with our travel agent, etc etc etc. A package *would* have been simpler, but it would not have allowed us to stay as long as we did in the accomodations that we were in.
Stew
Awesome information.
