Are you planning a trip to Orlando next year? Well if so, now is the time to book. Disney is offering dining and merchandising credit if you stay in a Disney Hotel, so staying on-site may not be as expensive as you may think.
I found flights with United Airlines via Newark for next summer for €633 per person including checked baggage and seat selection – (base fare is only €482 per person). You can clear immigration in Ireland before you leave, which saves you valuable time when you arrive in Orlando.
I have linked to Skyscanner below. I recommend booking directly on United’s website or via Irish travel agency e-travel who are linked via Skyscanner.
Disney’s All Star Resorts are €2010 for a ten-night family stay, and you will receive $360 Disney Dining credit and a further $100 Disney spending money if you add park tickets at the time of booking. Deposit of €100 secures a booking.
