What is the best way to book a Disneyland resort hotel (for any of the 3 hotels), whether it be a package with airline tickets and/or park tickets or just the hotel (in terms of value and availability)?
While there are sometimes deals to be had or perks like the Costs package available, typically booking everything separate is as cheap if not cheaper and offers WAY more flexibility in changes in cancellations should they occur.
You need to due your due diligence and price out both ways. A character meal voucher is worthless if the package actually cost more than booking separate...then your can also afford the character meal!
With Costco you can do room only, you just have to call and ask them to drop the tickets. I found for my last trip (3 nights) I saved 200 over the 3 nights over Disney’s rate and received a 185 gift card. Costco got rid of the character meal cards and went to a larger gift card amount instead.Yes, you need to price it out separately. I’ve found it almost always cheaper to book separately but I helped a friend book a trip recently and a package through Costco was actually cheaper for her trip.
