Help me spend my disney rewards dollars

[poohteacher]

OK- now that FD has been announced, I am booked for the end of August. I am so excited. We've been saving for several years so that we can stay at the GF- I've always wanted to and now I get the chance. Anyway, now I have been thinking about those Disney dollars that we have accumulated on our VISA card. The kids have been saving their money, so they have enough to buy the souvenirs they want. The tickets have already been paid for through our trip budget, which leaves me wondering what I should do with our rewards dollars. My husband and I don't buy a lot of souvenirs for ourselves, so we are interested in spending the money on little luxeries that may make our trip more fun or memorable. One thing I would like to spend them on is renting a pool cabana for an afternoon.
So, here's my challenge for all you Dis'ers, help me spend my rewards dollars. What would you recommend for a family of 4 ( 2 adults and two girls 5 and 2) to spend their rewards dollars on? I am not going to include how many rewards dollars I have because I would like this to be a sky's the limit kind of brainstorm. I'm looking for ideas big and small. Thanks.

That is great that you can stay at the GF during free dining and use your rewards for FUN!!

I would check into some of the tours, although I have heard you may not be able to use the points on all of them, so I may be leading you astray.

We did the Family Magic Tour last year, kind of a tour-gude led scavenger hunt through MK and you meet some characters at the end. We all had fun, even the adults, but be prepared to act goofy throughout the park....

I know you don't spend a lot of souvies, but maybe you can buy something really special to commemorate this fab trip...like artwork or something...somtething that you wouldn't buy if you were paying out of pocket...

Your girls (at least the 5 year old) would probably enjoy a makeover at BBB....and the little one can maybe just get a hairstyle if she's not ready for the whol shebang...then the is the photopass photo shoot that you can purchase (think of the girls in costumes in the rose garden or on teh grounds of the GF....) Fabulous shots that you can use your rewards to pay for...

And if you have some leftover, feel free to leave them for me for my trip in December. LOL

Have a great time!!!

You could do a spa treatment. I have used the spa at GF and found it worth every penny! Other people rave about the spa at Saratoga Springs.

Could also do a special dinner...We enjoyed Citricos last trip......

I love jewelry and there is no shortage of that at WDW!!!! Maybe something special that you would not otherwise buy?

We have only done one tour, Backstage at AK and we really enjoyed it, so I agree with the PP (if the points can be used that way).

Enjoy your trip and your points, however you choose to use them!
