ALL Wisdom Needed - WDW Addicted & Must Book

[melomouse]

Hi -

Celebrating DS' 16th with a KTTK Tour in January at WL...it's just me and my kids.

Yes, we just got back last Sunday and I have just booked the airfare this AM for 8 nights January 25-February 2nd. We had a MYW package w/ dining and stayed at first YC, then WL.

While I know I can't have everything.... - is getting the AP rate for WL "worth" the savings? Understand it will cost me at least $250 more, but then I'm done with my admission for a year.

Is giving up the DDP - we love it, and I am aware of costs acssociated w/ 2008 plan - worth it? Should I buy the DDE?

And I will need to book WDW very soon - need the ADR's, right??LOL. And AP rates aren't even OUT yet for January? Can I book and then change to AP rate?

Okay - want to book - what should I do?? Help!!

Don't buy an AP just in the hopes of expecting an AP discounted rate.
If you will get your admission use out of an AP -- then buy it.
The AP does allow some lunch discounts and a slight discount at WoD too. So that is a good perk.
The DDE is good, depending again on your use and dining habits. If you don't do many sit down meals, then a DDE may not be worth your $.
