If you have bought the AP is it worth it? Did you like it? We are planning 5 days in park, at deluxe hotel, but i heard the discounts could be so good that with buying 1 AP for one of us it would be worth it, even if we aren't sure we would use it again in the year?
any thoughts would be great~!
oh yeas and you get discont for the MNSSHP??? Are you limited to days you can go to it with discount?

I think we got a discount on MVMCP when we went but I can't remember, it was in 2004. I think so.

Yes, it is worth it. If you plan to go more than once in a year, or even if you plan to go for a week and stay at a nice hotel, an AP is worth it.

I'm going this Thursday. I was able to get a last minute AP rate on a savanna view room at AKL for 2/9 even though I only called and asked for it on 2/3 at about 9:45 pm. Between the night at AKL and the three nights at BWI, I am getting $70/night off the room. That's $280 in savings over 4 nights. Because my AP was at renewal price I paid $355 for my AP. I'm going back to WDW for a week in October. That AP has/will pay for itself in hotel savings alone.

Plus we get discounts on merchandise at World of Disney, tours such as the Segway tour, boat rentals and other recreation, some meals (or we can get the dining card thing if they still offer that I don't even know).

Those savings add up.

It sits in the drawer all year saying "Come to Disney, come to Disney." Beware of the AP!!! But it has great benefits--like more trips!!

You also get sneak peaks at the new rides/shows that are built. Although depending on the day you go, every other passholder may be there as well.
