Ummm, I was an early purchaser of the 1st MMB, but $229 or $249 leaves me out. $99 gave a discount on OTUP, and that was helpful. I have 2 upcoming trips to see if I 'really' need lounge access when I travel. I've never had to wait, but haven't been to the MK one. I do go into the lounges but it's not a necessity.
Free alcohol - not needed. I'm a cheap drunk - one drink or glass of wine usually with food. Last time I bought a gran marnier slushy in Epcot I spilled half of it.
Using points to purchase an AP - good perk for some but I didn't need it this time and probably not for a few years, if ever.
I may pay a few $$ more if the price goes up but not double and maybe only 10-15% more for the same benefits. Will be evaluating when it is offered.
