    Real Examples: What Families Save

    6 nights, Deluxe Studio at Polynesian Villas (regular season)

    This is the trip my kids beg for. Six nights in a Deluxe Studio runs about 140 points, which at $23/point is roughly $3,220. Booking the same room through Disney? About $6,100 once tax lands — so we pocket close to 47% and still walk to the monorail. Numbers are estimates — run your own dates above.

    5 nights, Deluxe Studio at Saratoga Springs (value season)

    Our budget go-to. Five value-season nights at Saratoga Springs is about 60 points — roughly $1,380 rented versus around $2,530 in cash. That's a 45% cut, and honestly the quiet pools are a win with little ones. Numbers are estimates — run your own dates above.

    7 nights, 1-Bedroom Villa at Animal Kingdom (regular season)

    When the grandparents come, we size up. A week in a 1-Bedroom at Animal Kingdom is around 224 points — about $5,150 rented against roughly $7,800 cash. A 34% savings, plus a washer/dryer and giraffes outside the balcony. Numbers are estimates — run your own dates above.
