At what point did you say "I'm done"?

The only downside with Disneyland Hotel is you don't get happy entry to Disney Sea.

I booked the two-day package that includes their version of LLPP, one day in each park, and tacked on a couple of room-only nights on each end. We'll probably meander around Disney Sea the day before the package tickets start.

Good plan! We had only planned for one day at Disney Sea, loved it and found ourselves adding an additional day there later in our Japan trip.

The package was definitely worth for our first trip. Back when we did it though it included the Fantasy Springs pass which was basically unlimited fastpass to any FS rides and yeah.. we took advantage of it. We went on Frozen 6 times and Rapunzel 3 times, Peter Pan 1x in one day just because we could lol. Planning for the first trip was a little overwhelming but after on our second one we managed to make it by without any purchased fast passes and had a blast.

We are at 700 points, our last being added in 2016 and we are done. Quite honestly, it's probably too many points and we may downsize at some point in the future. That said, it's nice to have some leeway for Aulani 2-bedrooms...

Apparently the FS attractions have been added to this, so the entire park will be our oyster. It was not cheap, but this is a celebration trip that was deferred from Spring 2020.

I know I'm odd on this board, but we have one small resale contract. I've considered swapping it for a larger direct contract, but the numbers just never work out. We do 5-7 nights every 12-18 months. We're happy in studios, but the occasional one bedroom is lovely. As tickets gave gotten more expensive we've tended to stay for fewer days, and stretch out the time between visits. It gives me more vacation days to spend elsewhere, and I really don't mind that at all.

This is our perspective! We have a small 100 point resale contract. We would not plan to do more than 5-6 nights per year in a studio at our home resort (BCV) and anticipate that there will be years we want to travel elsewhere (i.e., all-inclusive, cruise, etc) where we will bank points for longer stays or larger villas.

Flights to Orlando are pricey for us, as are park tickets. I feel like we are at a place where we have eliminated consideration of resort cost from upcoming trips, which will make continuing to visit WDW regularly feasible. However, we do still plan to travel other places and do not want to be locked into Disney vacations for the length of our contract.
