And these are the {Resort} Changes of our Lives ~In Memory of JungleCruiser <3

[jennyjinx3]

Jen I'm sure you are doing this but be sure to purchase the tickets at Undercover going thru the Mousesavers newsletter link .... it's suppose to save $$$.

I was not doing this!! Am I just going to the main mousesavers page and looking for a link? Thanks Linda!

Well, we are a party of 5 that booked while we there in Jan to go back this Sept, but i'm having a horrible time deciding if it was the right call on the time and also the resort. Its myself, my DW, DS 8, DD 6 and DS 3 at the time we go back, we're booked at GF. Not sure really want to stay there and though we've never stayed at contemp, when we've visited there we never much cared for it. Now i'm considering trying a mod for the first time POR is where we'd stay. Problem is the monorail was def great for the ages of our kids. What to do what to do.

I am no help to you....we have stayed at Poly twice and then booked at POR. Now we switched to BC, I can't imagine not having ease of traveling to at least 2 of the parks with small ones. I think it is worth it to be at one of the closer deluxes.

I just realized the WDW prices I was seeing did have tax, and therefore Iheart I think you were right that the 5 day PH would be the best saving us about $100. But yes that would get us a TIW card!

Miss: Maybe you could plan a nice dinner for your arrival day? Or celebrate it the next day???

I tried messing around more as I really believe you can save more then that. I found this page on Mousesavers where you can still see the WDW prices for NE.

http://www.mousesavers.com/disney-world-magic-your-way-ticket-price-chart/

I started looking at it a bit and I noticed that 8 day ph/wpfm/ne would be 2789.85. They would have a full gate value of 3094.89 which is more then the cost of APs, but still seems like it nets you the highest savings since you wouldn't have to pay anything else to upgrade. The savings would be about $267 for these.

Anyway, have fun messing around with it. Also, one thing I thought about was that you don't have to buy the same tickets for kids and adults. The kids seem like a no brainer at the 8 day ph/wpfm/ne as the credit you get is exactly the cost of an AP (611.31) but they only cost 553.95. The adults are the ones that push the value higher. If that makes any sense. Good luck!

Padawans - Did you buy your NE tix before the big ticket increase last year? That might be why your savings were so much higher.

Miss - I think traveling on your anniversary would be cool! Date night maybe?

The "special" link is in their newsletter which comes out on the 15th so go ahead and sign up for that. I checked my email and also my email trash but I guess I've thrown away all my newsletters. Maybe someone else can post a link for the latest one for you. I know RCers don't want to wait .... we want it all and we want it NOW!!!

Got it! Found it in my trash, and it saves a few more bucks! No kidding about wanting it all now...when it comes to vacations this could be my slogan!!

PMed you Jen, but I see you've got it! Love you ladies.

In other vaguely interesting news...

So, I kinda just put down a deposit.

 

[Grumpy Grandma]

So DH just told me he might not want to go in Nov .... he'd rather have new skis!!! So any of you that might be going that week looks like it might just be DD and me!

 

[i_heart_the_mouse]

That does it, I am officially too slow for this thread.

I can never keep up with what is going on. I see you have it under control Jen!

 

[jennyjinx3]

But Iheart: Are they still honoring the NE tickets? I thought Disney was doing away with them?

Details, please!

Girls trip!

But Iheart: Are they still honoring the NE tickets? I thought Disney was doing away with them?

I was under the impression that they are still selling and still honoring them. They are just not available to buy on their website. I could swear every time I read a thread the response was that you can still buy NE onsite. I can't imagine that they wouldn't still allow you to upgrade something they still sell. If you worried about it, you can always just buy other tix.

I feel the same way today.

I called and got our ressie changed. We are now booked in a BC GV room 9/9-9/14. I just keep getting more and more excited about the BC!! I have been flipping though pictures and September can not get here soon enough!!

Oh and I finally got my Disney app to work right. I was doing it wrong. I was adding my resort reservation number in where you are supposed to link dining ADRs. It's amazing how much better stuff will work, if you just use it right.

Hahaha, you are the BEST, GG!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Even though we're supposed to be in "frugal" mode and treating the credit card in a humane fashion, I figured that it's best to make the deposit now, right? Like that rationale, don't ya?

October 26th - 30th, Hubster's 40th spent with Mickey and Co. all gussied up for Halloween. I went with the CR Garden Wing (Garden View). Chickened out on the Deluxe because I'm a weirdo.

We started going to Disney when my oldest was 3, the boys are now 19 and 15. We first stayed CR because we could walk to MK, they then tore that wing down to build BLT and we stayed one more time in the other wing. We then moved over to GF-my husband always wanted to stay there- and this trip will be our third time there. At T'giving we stayed at WL because of the GF construction. As much as we enjoy walking from HS to Epcot, I don't think I could ever leave the MK area. Just my thoughts

 

[Missoutandabout]

Wookie: Best. Change. EVERrrrrrr.

I_Heart: Hmmm, I need to start thinking about that. Only 269 days to go! Probably recycle one of the old ones for us old folk and not sure about Miss M. I was contemplating going on two party nights. Is that insane? I think we'll try to eek out a holiday season trip from our no-expire tickets and go again in January.
