I really need some advice....

[JohnTigger'sMom]

I'm really needing to trim my budget even if it's just a few $$...we bought a new vehicle yesterday and my gas budget for the trip has increased about $100.00. My plans are to trim the food budget about $100.00 and also trim the hotel budget a little bit. We currently have Portofino booked at the APH rate of $188.00 for 4 nights but was thinking about changing to the RPR for 2 nights at the seasonal rate of $219.00 and 2 nights at the FAN rate of $164. Since I will have to upgrade to an AP (about $83.00) when I get there, I'm including that into the cost of the Portofino. So, staying at RPR is not but about $68.00 cheaper. My question is this....will the AP make up the difference in discounts on food and souvenirs? Or, should I just go ahead and change the ressies and save the few bucks? Now that I've currently confused everyone...could someone give me some advice? Especially on the benefits of the AP.

Thanks!!

Am I right that you need to save an additional $32? You can easily save that much using APH discounts depending of course on how you buy. Merchandise discounts are 20%. Food discounts are normally 10-15%. You have an excellent rate at PBH. That would be hard for me to give up.

If you are there for 4 days and plan on buying a few souvineers I think you might as well stick with PBH. Keep checking the Loews website though because about a month before my trip the rate for RPR dropped to $119.

Like hockey mom said, Keep checking back with Loews because their rates change day-to-day, hour-to-hour, and heck - almost all the time. You never know when you are going to get a good deal.

The AP gives decent dining discounts plus u get 10% at citywalk

also you dont have to buy an AP until you get there to get the APH rates! so you can wait until last min to see if you need an AP
