Well today husband and I decided that for our 2019 November trip we will try to do everything but food using AirMiles! We already have our 2x 7 day WDW ticket vouchers.

We decided today that to stay free (just pay taxes) on AM was a better idea than paying up to $1700 CAD to try to rent a DVC hotel for the 8 nights or so we will be staying. This led to us deciding that we would do one day at Universal. Perfect - AM has tickets!

That is my one compromise to my husband for letting us try off site. :) I don't want to venture to the dark side but he wants to go for just one day. LOL

WDW tickets - already have
Universal 1 day park to park tickets x2 = 4700 AM
Flights (using this years rates) = 5600 AM + $300 in taxes
Hotel 8 nights (using this years rates) = 10,035 AM + $135 in taxes

I have about 5000 left to save... then I'll be waiting til November bookings are available for flights & hotel!

We are going to try for the Delta Lake Buena Vista near Disney Springs. If anyone has stayed there, I'd love to hear what you thought. The photos make it look beautiful and so modern, and the reviews are all amazing.

Our #1 concern in a hotel is noise though. I imagine any hotel can be noisy but we really like to get a good nights' sleep.

I almost just stayed at the Delta last week (I know, not what you’re looking for) - but they had some extra fees or paid parking (can’t remember which) - so I ended up at the Fairfield Inn at Flamingo Crossing. I can’t recommend it highly enough - was super quiet and SO close (literally outside the gates) - also included breakfast and the room had a full size fridge and kitchenette.

I made a last minute trip to Orlando for three nights because I was in Miami for work. Ended up with that one night at the Fairfield plus 2 nights at All-Star Music and 2 day PH + regular dining plan for ~$800 CAD out of pocket. I booked literally the day before they announced the parking change and had a car. I hadn’t been to WDW in 15 years. Was able to ride every ride that’s not at Disneyland (had been there the week before that) plus all the rides at Magic Kingdom that aren’t like Dumbo - plus saw the majority of live shows in two days. Plus Rivers of Light and Happily Ever After (not an overstatement to say that HEA is life changing )

I think on the second day, I ended up with 17 FP in 15 hrs - managed to scoop a 7DMT from 15 mins from whe I was looking. Also, on first day, lined up at 6:15am to get on FoP and was on the ride first. SO worth it and so amazing. - sorry for the mini trip report - I was just reminded of the trip and got excited and wanted to share!

Thanks! I will keep that in mind! We do not plan to rent a car, would rather just take Lyft etc. When we need to. I read that the Delta only has a few shuttles to Ticket & Transportation Ctr in the morning and at night but that’s better than nothing. :)

Also would try to check out the Character Warehouse outlet!

If you aren't planning to rent a car you should look at staying on Hotel Plaza Blvd. All those resorts have a shuttle system that runs about every half hour all day long. You do have to watch the daily resort fee though....some are more than others. From all of those hotels you are walking distance to DS and also lots of places on the 535.
 
Oh Oh....I just sent a missing miles enquiry and accidentally submitted the wrong missing miles number. I used the travel hub, going through the MM coupon, for a hotel back in March and only received the hotel bonus of 200 miles. Still waiting on the MM bonus of 100. I decided to send the enquiry before I forgot and I guess I hit the 2 instead of the 1. The second that I clicked submit I saw my mistake. They will figure it out right???

Thank you for that recommendation! I was able to find 4 of those 7 resorts on the AirMiles hotel reward portal! :)
 
Sorry for the off-topic tangent. For those who stay on Hotel Plaza and use the shuttle system, what do you do for to and from the airport? I was debating staying there for my solo race trip in November (yay!!), but on site won out due to the convenience of MDE and also more confidence in transport to the race the morning of. Would love to hear what others have done, I am not as used to using Lyft/Uber as we usually rent a car, but am definitely looking for cost-effective options.
 
The one time we stayed on Hotel Plaza Blvd we hired a car service to take us from the airport to the hotel and back to the airport. At the time it seemed easier than a cab. The shuttle service to the parks worked well. I do like the convenience of MDE and onsite transportation now though. Depending on how long you are staying you may find it to be more cost effective to stay on site and have free transportation than staying on the Blvd and having to pay to Cab it to the airport and your race etc.
 
Can you not use My Disney Experience app still if staying off site? I thought it was just advance booking for dining and fastpass, and free magic bands, plus Magical Express that wouldn't be included.

I thought MDE app was usable as long as you have tickets.

I think the Fairfield has a pay shuttle. But man, it was so close to AK. Maybe 5 min drive? Especially at 6am

Also, went to Character Warehouse - it was fine. I’d go again. It seemed pretty picked over when I was there but I managed to find a number of really awesome Shanghai items and tons of Star Wars stuff.

I tried to also go to the one closer to Universal and that parking lot was a NIGHTMARE. Cars parked literally on the medians and lawns because it was so busy so pulled the cord and parachuted outta there.

Good luck with your planning!
