I am starting to download pics to photobucket and I started my TR, here's the link http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=42441289#post42441289





That's great that you can do monthly payments! Does that AP include parking?

Our passes for Universal/IOA, Busch Gardens and Sea World are all set up with monthly payments. It's much less hurtful on the pocket. When those PAP's come due for Disney it's a big punch!

Busch Gardens and Sea World have been wonderful. We have been paying the same rate since 2002ish. $14 per month for me, dh, and ds17 TOTAL!! DS7's rate is more than that each month just for him!

For Universal, I'm the only one with an AP, the others have a pass with blackoutdates. We haven't been back there since March. I think we're due.

The premium AP includes parking and some nice discounts like 15% off in the restaurants plus 20% off in the stores. I think I may get one premium and one deluxe.

So doable! Good for you guys!






What a pretty resort and on the upgrade!!!! I want view pics.

It is very doable!!

Makes perfect sense to do it that way!

I am not really worried about black out days because we never tend to go on weekends which is when they normally fall.

UK Deals are good for OKW/SSR and they include free DDP which is a biiiiiiig plus, would really really really like to stay at BC/YC but not sure that I can justify paying the difference in price especially as we're wanting to do MNSSHP & go to Hazza P's World in Universal....you know me in the words of Sharpay "A WAN IT ALL!!!"

You won't be disappointed with either the OKW or SSR if you decide to go that route. Honestly, they are both amazing resorts. Do the packages come with Studios or can you choose any size villa?

Looks like Tracy had fun at Universal. How long will your holiday be?

We stayed at OKW the last time and loved it, not sure about SSR *** it's a studio we'd be staying in and OKW has 2 double beds where as (and I'm not 100% sure if this is correct) SSR has a double and a sofa bed which is not ideal. Still craving the pool at BC and fantasising about the walking distance to Epcot and all that deliciousness on my doorstep but will have to boot the ar*e out o' the fuzzy Disney accounting to justify this. We're going for 14nights 13-27Oct that Tracy is one lucky ducky and we are definately going to Universal...even if I have to sell a kidney to get there

You are correct, 2 queens in a studio at OKW, only 1 queen and a sofa bed in a studio at SSR.

My oldest son had an allergic reaction while on the sofa bed so we switched beds. I found the sofa bed mattress to be more comfortable then the matress on the bed! Ended up staying the next night on the couch too!

Thanks for the info Toots, we're there for two weeks so I think it'll be a total faff to have to organise a sofa bed for the whole of the trip...I'm lucky if my wee chicks pick their own knickers so making and un-making a sofa bed is like shooting for the stars

And there in lays a problem. I thought they were okay with it but Kody this morning made it clear that she isn't okay with it. So I am waffling.

Yup, OKW has 2 queen beds and the others have a bed/sleep sofa. Could you pay to upgrade to a one bedroom? You'd flip your cookies over how fabulous having a full kitchen is. Not that you'd cook much but it's nice to have all that room. Our trips totally overlap. We are Oct 14-26.

Does Universal offer any discounts to those across the pond?

Knickers.


I hate making up the sofa bed everyday.

I was wondering. My kids would flip out if DH and I went without them, especially Chloe. Hmmm......lie.

Perfection we'll defo be able to do some swalleying around "The World" during that time Baybee

The one bedroom with full kitchen would be fabby but if I paid £600/$900(approx) more I could be in "the precious" BC/YC I just canny let that one go Doll

Have found a site that offers a 14day Ultimate WDW ticket which gives you access all parks + hopping and the same for Universal for £320/$480 per adult & £285/$427 per child, not cheap I know but a pretty good deal none the less ....add to this the tickets for MNSSHP and you do realise I'm not going to have a penny to scratch my ar*e with by the end of this trip good job we'll be getting free dining

The only one it bothers is our 17 year old. She is the one that doesn't want to grow up.

I totally relate, I don't want to grow up either

The thing is on somethings she is way toooooooo grown up. Others she is like a little girl. It is enough to drive me nuts.

There won't be anything wee about my jakeyness, that's for sure.

Gotcha! That is a substantial amount of green

You'll be too happy to scratch your **** anyway. That's a great price! Wish they offered that here.

Hmmm, at 17, I think I would tell her tough cookies. You and Scotty deserve some time alone.

No growing up here either. The saggier my skin gets, the more immature I become.

That was my thought honestly. I think she is being a brat.

They all have their less than stellar moments. I try to install in my kids that I had a life before them, life now, and the fun will resume when they hit driving age. I think Gabby is finally starting to see me as a person and not just her mother.

 

[kaoden39]

Sometimes I think my girls see me as a "buddy". I tell them all the time that I am not, that I am their mother.

Yes, that was at SSR in a Studio. I'm totally sold on CSR, not much difference in the room from the studio at SSR, especially with the complementary microwave at CSR. For the price, I'd rather stay more nights at CSR. Heck, we stayed for $113.10 on Fri and Sat and $106.60 for Sunday, even better with the room upgrade!! To get the studio at SSR with the AP discount they wanted $195/night.

Now if I could get hubby to go for a 1 br, there'd be no question as to which I'd prefer!!

I can sure relate to that!!
