How much have you saved using your AP's?

[Magickndm]

This is probably more for Floridians since we do get to go more often usually...but how often do you go, and, if you were paying for each trip (just ticket admission, not hotel discounts and all), how much would you have spent? I figure we go at least 2 times per month, going to at least 3 parks per trip, and sometimes stay 2 or 3 days. I have it worked out that if we were paying the regular admission price, and of course, if we were, no way we could go often, we would have spent well over $4000 per person by now, and that's not including the $7.00 parking fee we save too. That would add over $300 to the total we have gotten out of our passes.
Just wondering how much everyone else gets out of their passes.

Because of last year's AP's, we returned for seven nights in May and three nights in October. So I don't know that they *saved* us anything.
I plan on putting the money into the house this year, rather any repeat trips. (Unless airfare goes low, which I don't anticipate.)
We renewed our AP's, which of course meant we got a little of a price break on renewing. And we got a great AP room rate at ASMu. So that probably saved us another $200 there.
Beyond the room rates, there isn't much of a savings for us.

Since we are DVC we would be going back year after year. Our AP's saved us well over $4000 over the regular admission price for the number of days we used them. We usually get three trips per year with them and then take a little break and plan three more trips that they can be used for.

Hee hee hee--how much have we saved?! I totalled it up and so far, we have spent 23 days at WDW (with 3 more days scheduled before the passes expire). I'm going to have to say--they cost me a fortune! What's one more little trip when our passes are paid for? (Though, I am not complaining ) Our trip in May will be a new record for us: 5 trips to WDW in 12months.

we probably would of not gone eight days in April......five days labor day weekend.....four days around xmas time....and we are doing seven days in .........46 days.....so I do think this is once we did get our moneys worth......I am soooo anxious to go back.....we need some of their sun that they seem to have more then Mainers do

Well I have never added up how much they have saved me, but it must be a bundle since I go over to the parks a lot. Sometimes I will just go over for an evening. Since I live near by, I will go for only a couple of hours on the weekends. If I added it up it would probably be at least $5000 since I know I go at least 100 days a year.

We are taking our third trip in June. The AP causes this. We love it, but we want to spend all of our free time at Disney. We give Disney plenty of our money because of the AP.

That AP savings just encouraged us to make another trip!!
(that we originally hadn't planned on!)

Enjoyed every penny of our trip too!!

We've managed to squeeze 4 trips out of our AP's... but I highly doubt we would have made more than two trips if not for the fact that we had the AP's, so whether it saved us money or not is a matter of opinion, but we sure had fun

or they'll charge you a special fee for each & you saved! If DH would cooperate, I would squeeze 2-3 trips per year with my AP's. If we went off season each time, we would save a bundle on both the tickets and the room. Sometimes at the AS, the discount brings the nightly room rate down to 54. Unfortunately, he doesn't see my "wisdom", and we only go once a year. Although, I have to beg him for that much. Maybe Mickey has a spare room in Toontown?
