Nah I live here, too. They’re definitely not snowed in. Just too lazy to return their game.They are snowed in.

I booked Caring for Giants! I had wanted to experience it for awhile and saw a detailed report and figured it was time to finally do it. The AP discount was 15% which was nice and it only required me to move 1 FP+ around. The last tour I did was the Yuletide Fantasy tour and I do not believe it coded as a resort room reservation. Maybe it will be different once it posts like you suggested. I dropped over $200 tonight at the grocery store on my CIP so that makes me feel a little bit better.I just booked a tour Sunday and it is coded as room only too. Still pending so could change. I think this is a recent change.
Which tour? I just signed up for the undiscovered Epcot on our April trip without the girls. I’d never heard of it really and saw the recent review. It sounds awesome and now I am super excited. Plus AP discount so score!
Great response @calypso726 ! I love how they said You're Right!

I've read about that tour and its on my list! I think it sounds very interesting. I love learning about WDW's history and going into the backstage areas. You're not allowed to take pictures, but on my last tour the guides took photos of us in specific locations and they sent them to use so that was a nice touch. I think your tour even comes with a commemorative pin which is always fun!
I have Up Close with Rhinos, Marceline to Magic Kingdom, Keys to the Kingdom, and Behind the Seeds in addition to Undiscovered Future World on my list for future trips. Its nice to visit multiple times and add these special experiences. I love going to the parks, but it really keeps the trips fresh and unique.
I did a VIP tour guide once a few years back and it was AMAZING! I wonder if that should be a future churning goal?A VIP tour guide for the minimum time would be like 600,000 URs lol
I've only done Behind the Seeds, which I do recommend. I'd love to do some of these others! I love learning about the history as well. I hadn't heard of Caring for Giants but just looked it up and I so want to do that one!

Glad someone on Chase's Twitter knows its own policies and programs.![]()
Glad to hear you liked it! I think I need to commit to at least one tour per trip now!I've only done Behind the Seeds, which I do recommend. I'd love to do some of these others!

HAHAHA you are so right! Probably had to Google the terms and conditions of the CSR and stumbled upon TPG websiteI bet they had to look it up before responding.![]()

Keys to the Kingdom definitely sounds like its for a more mature audience. I need to see those utilidors! Love that you got such a memorable photo. It really makes these add-ons special@PolyRob we did Keys to the Kingdom (years ago before kids) and then just did Caring for Giants on our trip last May. @vanjust14 our girls really liked it...I also got the cutest picture of all three of them with an elephant harness around them.
Yes! There are so many different options out there. Something truly for everyone. I never looked at them all until I called and heard all the different categories when booking a Sleigh Ride a few years back. (I also highly recommend this!)I think tours need to be something Dh and I start trying.

Wow, that's an amazing price! Love how a portion goes to the elephants. The review I read was really positive.Glad to hear you liked it! I think I need to commit to at least one tour per trip now!
Caring for Giants was only $25 per person after the AP discount AND a portion goes directly to conservation efforts for the elephantsWin win!
Awww, my DD would love that, I'm going to take her next trip. Thanks for sharing!@PolyRob we did Keys to the Kingdom (years ago before kids) and then just did Caring for Giants on our trip last May. @vanjust14 our girls really liked it...I also got the cutest picture of all three of them with an elephant harness around them.

I’m not sure when we’ll be back to wdw but it’s added on my list of things to do along with surfing and the water parks.Keys to the Kingdom definitely sounds like its for a more mature audience.

Don’t they have daycares at Disney? lolYou really should do some of them now before kids. Especially ones like Keys to the Kingdom and Epcot Undiscovered have an age limit. That’s why I decided to do the Epcot one...you have to be 16 or above to do the tour. We have to do everything we can without the kids this trip! @speedyfishy you should try to do one next trip.
I didn’t get an AP discount when I did Caring for Elephants. The CM wasn’t sure if it was offered and since they were saying the money went to the elephants I felt a little bad pushing the issue. As much as I dearly enjoy discounts.![]()
Has anyone rented a car using AA Miles? Just wondering if it went smoothly. Honestly, flying AA from MSP is just a pain, and I think I may find other ways to use these up and be done with it.
