I'll have to remember that when it comes time to book for next year.
Happy Planning!!
Just make sure to "do the rounds" when it comes time to book your trip. Because it changes.
For instance, when I booked my trip, the ONLY thing that made it come out better was that giftcard, b/c my trip was priced at nearly exactly the amount of the character meals OVER
AAA and WDTC. So it was actually much more than those, but we were going to do a character meal anyway, so the giftcard brought it into the "bargain" range. But we definitely paid for that character meal, when we booked our exact trip at the time we booked it.
That's all I am saying here...check your exact trip to make sure it's the best deal for you at that time! Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't!
Also, we replaced the lanyards on the first day, replaced the lanyard pouches soon after, for me and DH. The lanyards were just too wide, and the pouches were a harder soft plastic (than the disney soft plastic pouches) that had a reputation for tearing way too easily. So that part of the perks wasn't all that helpful, LOL, though DS has enjoyed HIS lanyard.
