Thanks to all of you budget conscious Passporters.

I was doing some research prior to my trip in 11 days and read about the hotwire savings club so decided to look into it. Whew! Am I ever glad I did!

I had gotten good hotel deals from the hotwire site so I thought this was worth a try. After checking prices from Mousesavers on the UPH (I had intended to buy at the resort) I saved over $300 by getting PHPs from hotwire savings. It sure would have been an expensive mistake. I still save about $70 over advanced purchase prices so I'm a happy camper.

Unfortunately, I didn't find this site early enough to order meal vouchers. I thought the 7-10 day shipping period was a bit too close for comfort. There's always next year.

It looks like I might even be able to use the savings club to save on some early birthday and Christmas gifts. The teens especially like gift cards/certificates so they get exactly what they want.

All these extra savings will go right into the vacation fund for next year's trip.
