New 18-month AP promotion through Universal

I wonder if the lunch and dinner menus are the same at Biergarten now. The sauerbraten, at least, used to be dinner only. If I'm paying the same for lunch and dinner it better have the same food.

per the article it just shows one sign advertising for eating there and it includes sauerbraten so I guess so ... I agree though - if they are the same price they need to be the same experience

There's no way its 1 credit. Not at $55 a person and $33 a child. That's 2 credit pricing.

I mean, it says one credit on disneys website so...?

Maybe because of the location, one credit will be more attractive to people to make the "journey" to Wilderness Lodge.

Although not at the parks (that I know of) I saw that Hot Topic already had Funkos for WIR2 out, including Hot Topic exclusive ones.

That's pretty awesome. Gotta say, between Uni and SeaWorld, there's a lot of competition for our WDW AP money....

Yup. I’m definitely renewing my Uni AP now and I’m seriously thinking about that $9.99/month SeaWorld pass too.

Is it really that much more than Chef Mickey's?

I was excited until I realized it was only for Florida residents. The way it is worded I thought for a minute that non residents got 3 months, but I don't think that is the case.

 

[chicagoshannon]

Too bad the Universal deal is only for FL residents. I would have hopped on that if it was for everyone.

maybe start it at one credit ... then when it gets too popular they up it to 2 credits - then wonder why interest drops

You'd be hired on the spot with that mindset

I think this is indicitave of where pricing is going. I think we got a taste with the recent snack and drink prices and I foresee TS prices drastically increasing.

Dining is a big part of our Disney trips - but at some point you reach your limit. This last trip we did less TS and more CS than in the past and I see that trend continuing (not to mention bringing granola bars and stuff and our own water, etc.)

Love Disney but becoming more and more that you have to pick and chose which elements you will spend your $ on

I completely agree. We own dvc and did instacart and saved a ton last trip. If you stay offsite somewhere with a kitchen or kitchenette you can do the same thing. We've really re-prioritized when it comes to spending at Disney. Food is at the bottom of the cash list. That said I have ADRs for January and March but that will be our one big splurge for eating out each trip. With a family it adds up fast.
