DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info DISapalooza

[3guysandagal]

Since it is getting closer by the day, (I know that is redundant, but oh well) I need to start saving away money for DAP.

Please help me in verifying the following. Thanks.
•CP is ~$55 for a tier 3 restaurant.
•Yee Haa Bob show is only the cost of what you purchase to eat/drink (no admission).
•DATW is about $6-8 per country per drink. (Saving for this. Must beat my record from PCC 1.0).
•DIS Unplugged main party/event will not require park admission, but may require a $25 administrive/processing fee.
•Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party $52/$59 depending upon purchase date.
•Osborne Lights free with park admission.
•Ice @ the Gaylord Palms, $17-$25 depending on purchase (online vs. at the door) and day of the week.

Is there anything else that may be out of the ordinary when it comes to costs? I know meals and souvenirs and DP's holiday gift(s)...

The cost of the DI events (unknown at this time) if you plan to go to them.

For Pop, you can request a section, but nothing's guaranteed. I have no idea where they will put us.

People have different opinions of Pop Warner - after they kept me up until 3am in 2004 (and the 3 calls to the front desk I made did NOTHING), I avoid the All Stars like the plague that week.

I was at Pop Century in 2007 and Pop Warner was going wild at the All Stars. One or two teams got kicked out in the middle of the night. Disney has very strict rules anymore. One person gets into trouble then the whole team is gone.

Our only less than stellar WDW visit was a stay at the All Stars during Pop Warner. We own DVC now - so that isn't likely to happen again anyway, but there is NOTHING that could get me to repeat that experience.

OK...I've only been to Disney about three times...is POP Warner really that bad?!? I keep hearing about it and I was wondering should I go ahead and stay in a value or a mod??

We were at POR in 2006 and their presence was made known, it's not just the value resorts.
Rowdiness in the pool until early in the morning, cheers from their rooms to the parking lot at about 6 in the morning.
Not that it in any way ruined our trip, but it was annoying at times.
The parks are not really affected during the day, but later in the afternoon you may notice a few groups.
It's the old adage, "One rotten apple...etc", that gives the good ones a bad name.
There were lots that were courteous as well.

Hmmm...maybe Disney or one of our fabulous DU agents could talk Disney into letting us have our own section..DAP peeps only!!!! LMAO!!! Then maybe we should wake up at 3/4am and starting makin noise for our fellow 'neighbors'!!!

Hi everyone! AP rates came out today for December. So if you've been waiting they are out. I have not changed my reservation yet (I'm rooming with Kim tickledtink33 now) for December so Dan my DU TA sent me an email letting me know I had saved $450.00 at GF.

That is sweet!!!!! But if you were saving $450...I'd be afraid to know what the original cost was....

It was around $1700.00 for 4 nights at GF. So $450.00 is a great savings. I need one night for Wednesday. I think I will change my reservation to just the one night.

I used my AP discount and was actually able to get a room there before they sold out! Woo Hoo!!!!

That's awesome!!!! Kim and I are currently booked at WL. Kim is checking out rates to see what we can get at other Deluxe Resorts.

Congrats! The discounted room rate we already had at WL is lower than what's available with an AP rate - so I'm hoping my roommate is willing to switch to AKL to save money.

Yeah...sorry.

I do appreciate you caring that I am switching though! I actually entertained the idea of splitting it...but that would make 3 ressies for my 10 night stay...a little much.

They had a good rate at the Poly...but I am hoping to stay there on a future trip and wanted the special Christmas Decs at the WL!

And I figure I am going to the Christmas party at least once...maybe twice...so I will get to enjoy that boat ride!

I am pretty excited about it!!

I will be at the AKL later in the week!! I am looking forward to that, too!

Gosh...you already had 42% off?!?! That is an awesome discounted room!!

Our discount at WL wasn't THAT good, but it's a lower rate than the AP rate available now @ $214 for courtyard view with bunk beds. As much as I'd love to stay at WL for the first time, I'd rather pay $139/night for AKL even more.

After the Fulton's review today, is anyone interested in going there on Friday for lunch?

No me gusta seafood.

And me thinks we may be in a park for lunch? But have to check with my Vice-Queen. (That's Jaime's official title.)
