New Perks for AP Holders

[Mamu]

Anyone know anything about these new perks bring offered to AP holders.

Illumination dinner and private seating?
Private safari with dinner?
Wishes cruise?

One other that I can't remember.

Are they finally going to offer some perks to AP holders besides resorts discounts that seem to be fewer and fewer. These sound interesting.

Anyone know about these perks and when they start?

From the way I read the info posted it was basically giving AP holders access to some of the magical gathering perks even if you weren't staying on site. You still needed a large group and the prices were still high. I could be wrong but that was my take on the info.

What I would love to see is access to some of the magical gathering perks for smaller groups if you have an AP. I would love to do the safari but I travel in a group of three so that leaves us out. Give us some AP perks we can really use.

I agree. It would be nice to have some perks that didn't require a large group. We don't travel in large groups either.

Although they do not specifically say it, I believe the prices are per person.

I'd like to see smaller groups too. A couple of things looked really interesting but we don't have 8 people in our group either (4 for our May trip and 6 for December) so I had thought of booking it for 8 and posting an offer to see if anyother DISers will be there at the same time and like to join us to bring the #s up to 8+.

Just an idea...

I don't know if this is 'cheating' or not, but why couldn't you do it the same as people do with Illuminations cruises? There is currently a thread to share cruises once someone books one and there is room to invite others who pitch in towards the cost. Just a thought...I'd be willing to do it this we travel with 7 this April (one short..go figure!!)
