I love Disney economics.

I have always been kind of intrigued with SSR - I am sure you are hoping to get BW or another resort, but if you end up at SSR, I will be interested to read all about it.

Wow, I want a diesel with that gas mileage! We're driving down in June but our car only gets ~ 20 mpg highway
If you've never been during MLK holiday week, just be prepared for crowds, DH's birthday is the 21st and we've gone 3 or 4 times and it was crowded. But yaay for MDE, that should definitely help!
I hope your waitlist comes through, but at least you're onsite!
Totally haven't read the latest update because I just realised that missed one!!!
So Biergarten! How cool that the CM made note of your parents' anniversary like that. Very cool.
I have read so many great things about Biergarten. I have never been tempted to book an ADR there though.I have to believe that we are really missing something.
Those dang yeti stuffies - such lushes!!! DRANKS!
Joaquin is just so funny - I love all his crazy pics, the ridiculous song, everything. What a lot of personality that kid has! Can't begin to imagine where he gets it ..![]()
It's really hard to argue with your math. Especially when it comes to Disney
We're going to just miss you and your family. We'll be arriving on January 28th. Our 60 day mark is coming up next week and I'm just bracing for impact about making the FP+ ressies. To make things more complicated I'm juggling two separate packages: one for my family of 4 and one for my brother's family of 3. Would you like to place odds on whether this will go smoothly?
Anyway happy to hear you finally worked it out although that was a lot of leg work on your part. Or I should say phone work.
What a disaster with the FP+ stuff. I'm glad you got it fixed. I am pretty excited to read about that trip and how it works. It will be at least 2015 before we are back, so I haven't kept that up to speed on the FP+ developments.
I love Disney economics.:

ROAD TRIP TO DISNEY! With it being that affordable there's no way you could pass it up.
Saratoga Springs looks lovely. I'll be crossing my fingers you get GFlo, though. The penguin fountain in the lobby? I just about died when I saw the picture.
Ugh, that's so frustrating about the MDE. There are a lot of kinks in that site that need to be worked out. I'm glad you got reservations made, though!
Don't lose hope on BOG. We literally were just able to book for Dec. 1 this past week. So maybe late December/early January it'll open up. It also doesn't count as one of your FP+ entitlements so you don't have to give up any of your current reservations
The Maelstrom is one of the most popular rides in Disney, clearly.
I love when disney math actually makes sense and not just because we pretend it does![]()

Personally I like number 4 on your list of reasons it would be affordable.
I so love reading about MyDisneyExperience stories. Buy I also love Halloween and horror movies, so that might explain it.
Oh dear, I see you are part of the tier testing.
Keep trying the BOG link!!! Unless the DVC reservaton is different than a "normal" reservation. I was only able to make one last week for early December. Before that there was nothing, so they are late releasing the dates. Then again, maybe they'll do away with it by then entirely. At least it doesn't count as one of the 3 FP selections.
I imagine Mission Space is a Tier 2 for the same reason ToT is a tier 2... so there's at least something half decent in the second tier. Maybe.
I'm super glad you're looking forward to FP+ (despite the bumps). I'm keeping an open mind as well.
Um, yeah, if I could do a week long trip that cheap, I'd be driving down there in a second!
Ugh FP+. Just reading about your experience stresses me out. I'm going in 9 days and i still don't have FP reservations because I don't have tickets, so I'm just praying there will be some good times available for Soarin' and ToT once I get there!![]()
Gotta love Fuzzy Disney Math! Although yours does seem pretty legit!
Sorry about your FP+ trouble! We didn't know anything about it when we were there in October and just made ressies on a whim while we were there! It worked out great but I have a feeling it won't be so easy as the program expands.
That's too cheap to pass up! But I'm with a PP, keep trying the BOG link. I had the same issue but was later able to book at FP+ for lunch, so don't give up!
it can be frustrating when a company launches new stuff. Anything Internet related will always have Hiccup along the way. The unfortunate thing is we are naturally the ones who experience them. I think in a bit of time all will be running smoothly for sure. I always remember that there was a time we had to do everything by phone....... and sometimes stay on the line for 1/2 hour.
For me anything Disney related is no problem..... I can wait because I LUV WDW.....![]()
We love our VW Passat TDI. It is a very comfortable and economical car for sure. Can't wait to see if we improve the mileage on the trip in January. I am sure Danielle will post it on the TR.![]()
I really love your financial explanations for why another trip just makes sense. Works for me!
Wow... two of you and DVC accounts and FP+ and my head is spinning. Glad you got it worked out!
Why would it be affordable?
1) We already have APs.
2) We are DVC members.
3) His car gets 700 miles to the tank
4) I willed it to be affordable.
At 700 miles to the tank at $60 a tank, we would only have to fill up twice each way. 4 fill ups = $240.
Add in $100 a hotel room for two nights (one night down and one night back)= $200
So total travel expenses would be $440. Split between three people.
Crazy, right?! How could we not go.
Absolutely works for me.At that rate, it would be a sin not to go!
