Woohoo, great to see you back kdasher! LOL, you'll always be in our top...and we LOVE it. ;)

Hey, March and April are NUTS every year and sell out quite quickly. We already have dates in April that are full. The various spring breaks of the northern hemisphere have merged into one, long, two month peak. Then you toss in all the groups from the southern hemisphere AND all the Disney changes next year and you get a bit of mayhem. All this to say, you may want to grab a room NOW and hang on to it. Chances are rates will only go UP and rooms will run out quickly in general near the gates. Then at least you're protected and settled at the HoJo in case you can't find another spot. Once Disney turns on the marketing machine for the all new Disney California Adventure enhancements, things will only get more busy. I believe they are unleashing the monster just after our Thanksgiving.

Anywho, we'd love for you to be with us and hope it all works out. Great to see your name pop up again. :D

We will most likely be booking a package deal as It works out cheaper majority of the time. I am patiently waiting for Alaska Air too announce the kids fly free deal. Who knows though, depending on seat sales at times its cheaper to do it separately. Either way HOJO is my first pick and hopefully thats where we end up.

Excellent kdasher, we LOVE to be your first choice! :D

I heard that Kids Fly Free was happening again from our Alaska Airlines Vacations insiders...stand by for that. And, yes, the rates that they receive from us are quite good! Those will tend to be the best package deals out there. Flick us a note once you book! 8-)

Until then, all the best from your friends at the HoJo! :)

Any word when the kids fly free would be announced ? We've set our dates for our spring break. We are meeting other people there and thats when they are going. Not my first choice, but I can handle anytime at Disney :D .
Its crazy how prices vary from day to day. My daughters are 12 and 9, so only one of them is included in the kids fly free. I am tempted too book now as I have found a decent price for that week, but im not sure how the kids fly free will work out. My luck it will cost more ! lol . We are on Vancouver Island and here are the prices I pulled for March 17 - 22. Alaska Flight, 5 nights @hojo, 5 days park hoppers and taxes included. ( 2 adults, 2 kids )
Victoria - $4039.24 ( Via Seattle )
Vancouver - $3235.92 Direct
Seattle - $2079.60 !! Direct
( Last two times we went to Las Vegas we flew from Bellingham, Washington because it worked out $500 cheaper than flying from Vancouver which is an hour away )
Its about a 3 to 3 1/2 hour drive from Vancouver Airport to Seattle Airport. Seattle flight times are alot better as they leave almost every hour. We could be at HOJO by lunch time and get 4 and half days of Disney. ( I believe we can leave our bags if a room is not ready ? )
What to do ! what to do ! I just wanna book now and know I have everything set, then I want to wait and see how the kids fly free will work out. To much too think about :shock:
