We had US/IOA booked for Dec.5-12 w/AAA staying at RoyalPacific. My mom broke her leg & is now NO weight bearing and now she can't dog sit for us . . . so we changed to Feb.5-12 (or maybe 2/14 because we can stay longer) and the price is $1200 more! We are considering canceling altogether. Our price was $2286 for Dec and is now going to be $3437 (that is for 2 additional days) for February. We are shocked!! This is thru AAA - hotels and parks for the above dates, airport transport, etc. Just curious as to your thoughts? Does it seem overly high to you all also?
 
If you put in Feb 2 -14 that's 4 additional days and you're paying rack rate. I put in feb 5 - 12 and the rate is the smsm which is the same as your Dec rates. Try playing with your dates and you may get a better rate and use the universal or loews website since the smsm is usually the same or better than AAA.
 
It looks like you've already cancelled, but on the off-chance that you haven't....

I learned from a wonderful dis'er a while ago about dogvacay.com, and have since learned about a similar website called rover.com. We've used both websites since then and have nothing but positive things to say about them.

Dog lovers sign up to be dog-sitters, and the websites handle the $ transactions. You leave your dog with someone in your area in their own home. It is expected that you will meet the person first so that both of you are comfortable with the arrangement - they meet your dog and you get a chance to make sure you are happy with the person and the home environment. You can choose someone who takes care of only one dog at a time, or watches several; some let your dog sleep on their bed at night, others not; some are ok to give meds, some not, etc, etc. We have actually met some wonderful people this way, and haven't had a bad experience yet after about 6 or 7 trips.
 


Thanks everyone! Yes, we have already cancelled Dec. trip. And thanks for the info on Pet Sitters, etc . . . but it's not an option . . . they are older dogs with some health issues, meds, etc and we travel with less stress knowing mom is watching them. We ended up booking Feb. 5-14 (dates not flexible because of our jobs) at Cabana Bay (changed from Royal Pacific) w/2 days at SeaWorld & a day at Kennedy. Now just to decide if we need to purchase Express Passes.
 
Although I'm sure having to change your plans must be frustrating, once the middle of December has come and gone, you'll have a great vacation to look forward to instead of seeing it in the rear-view mirror. Also, if you are like us, we aren't sick of the weather at home yet in December, but by the time February rolls around, we are thrilled if we can get into the sunshine for a bit. Have a wonderful trip!
