Makes sense, they are like gold! I have 11 days remaining and since we usually only do 2-4 night trips, they are going to be sorely missed when gone. I think we're going to have to switch to an AP strategy and pack in several trips instead. I wish they would bring back non-expiring or better DVC discounts. We always did parties but we don't see as much value at $100+ with tax sadly.
My husband and I are in the same boat. We have 12 non-expiring days left plus 20 WPFM entries. We are so incredibly stingy with our park days. We are going in June for 5 nights and only plan to go to the parks once. It has caused us to question whether or not to buy annual passes (both our parents live in Orlando so it's somewhat easy to justify). When we would visit in October the last few years we would use 1 day from our non-expiring ticket and go to the Halloween party on another during a 5 night trip. I would probably still do that but I don't think my husband would pay $90 for the party.
I think we are able to justify a Disney vacation every year because our family lives there so it helps offset costs...we don't have to stay at Disney if we don't want to but we still feel like we're getting value from it. I'm a teacher and my husband is close to finishing residency so we make a decent living, but even for us it's a stretch and a treat planning a trip to Disney. We know that eventually we won't have to worry as much about being able to afford a vacation to Disney once he graduates, BUT I am really getting nervous that one of these decisions Disney announces is going to put such a bad taste in my husbands mouth that he won't want to go anymore. And I don't know that I will blame him :-(...
