One of kids fly free was available to come down -but all booked up to go back. It would have been nice to fly instead of drive.

We saved about $200 doing it through Expedia and it includes park hoppers for 4 days, flight and hotel.

You can usually buy cheaper tickets for everyone in the party and come out spending less. However, they kids play free tickets are still a good deal. You can get a free childs park hopper with the purchase of an adult hopper until April 27. If you aren't booking a package you can get the hopper special thru www.getawaytoday.com

I also think the real key is to hope on it soon as you hear even better if you know someone at a travel agency, they can give you the scoop. Beacause the real deal goes faxt.. TO sum up I am looking for read advertisements not false advertisements. AND yes I know there will always be a catch. Year before last I went on kids fly free with a grandone and paid $1300 from Oregon and stayed at the Grand for 4 nights - with tickets and all included ~ now that was a deal. And if I take all the grands out of school I can still get a deal ~ but hey they will probably turn me into the school police if I did that.
