I'm nearing the end of my long non-Disney stint. We usually buy APs every other year and take 12 months off between them. We bought an AP for January 2004 and then did October and December on that AP as well. Then we took this year off, and will start our new AP Dec. 31st and take 3 trips in the following 12 months. This stretch between Decembers is driving me bonkers! A couple months ago, we were so Disney Home sick, we almost did a quick trip anyway, but gas prices stopped us.
