So I'm starting to plan a WDW trip in 2020 and everything I "know" about planning I have to change. I need help!
Background: I've gone to WDW 3 times in the past. Each time we stayed at the Pop Century and had the dining plan. We find that the one QS and one TS plan worked the best for us. It wasn't perfect but it was better than the DDP. I need to rent an ECV to get around the parks and have always used Apple as it was the less expensive that was a WDW partner.
This time, due to the redecoration of the value resorts and cost, we want to stay off-site. Also, because of the cost and the 'not quite right' fit of the DP, we are going to pay out of pocket. And because Apple no longer seems to carry the bigger ECV I'm going to have to rent from somewhere else that will deliver to the hotel. Adding to this is the new need to rent a vehicle that can either carry the whole ECV (which doesn't break into pieces and we can't lift due to weight) or also renting a trailer that can haul the ECV (if that is a thing?)
That is where you come in!
I need a hotel, at least 3 stars, under $80 a night
I need a new place to rent the ECV
I need ideas/suggestions for rental cars and/or trailers.
I need ideas of how to pay OOP for restaurants not with Disney (As I'm using a combo of my Disney Visa/Sam's club) to pay for most the food and the park tickets with Disney Gift Cards)
