3 Star would be fine as I understand it that is the All Star resorts which would be fine. Our budget is flexible but for the All Star type of resorts we likely would want to see it under $115 a night (higher and we likely would book through Disney for more flexibility). Swan/Dolphin/Deluxe we likely would hope for under $210 a night.
Thanks for the information on the timeline as well.
Oh also what about the 2 rooms? Is it something where you would just book the same Expres deal 2 times?
