Disney Cruise Line Finalizes Purchase of Bahamas Lighthouse Point Property

 

[SaintsManiac]

My in-laws cancelled a trip in January because of the cost (granted they thought staying on the monorail loop would be nice -- until they saw the cost per night). They went on a ski trip in the mountains and probably spent a fraction of the cost. They also instead go to Great Wolf Lodge frequently.

My sisters family (in two weeks) will be there but they are only staying 3 nights (at a moderate) due to cost.

I value a Disney vacation more than they (and thus go a lot) but I work hard to try and find value by doing things like the Annual Pass, using Disney Gift Cards (purchased at Target) and staying at values or offsite with multiple families, etc. Or simply only going for 3-4 days (I find going for several short stay more enjoyable than one GIANT stay).

so .. I have an AP this year and plan on making 3 trips (#2 coming up in two weeks to join my sis), especially since we have gone so much, it is kind of embarrassing.

I am almost ashamed to admit to friends and family that we are going again here in March despite just being there in November and definitely dont want to say I am going again in the fall. They know how much it costs and even though my family can afford i, my wife and I are starting to feel guilty. We even wanted to hide our Magic Band countdown chain (that just shows how many times we have gone in the past four years) when a friend was visiting for the weekend.

After October, my daughter turns 3 .. and our costs will now SKYROCKET by having to get her another ticket if we choose to go again even though I still have 4 days left on my own(and wife) non-expiration ticket (and 8 days left for my son).

The rising costs was one of the reasons i decided to get an AP. I had family going this year and we wanted to join them. Plus I thought we would get it out of our systems while the kids are young - and return MAYBE after all this other new stuff is done, despite my excitement for it.

Disney is a luxury vacation - for sure. The big cost (compared to other vacations) is the tickets and they have jumped so much in the past decade it is insane. Add on paid fast passes, and Disney may just not be worth the cost anymore no matter how magical it is.

I certainly feel where you're coming from, but until someone comes to my job and earns my check for me and pays my bills, their opinions mean squat to my life.

Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort Adds Upgraded Wi-Fi, New Network Name in Public Areas

OMG was this needed. I had work to do multiple nights last week when we were there and spent more time fighting with WiFi than doing work or more importantly sleeping.

I would have taken that as a sign.

REVIEW: New Himalayan Explorer Margarita at Warung Outpost, Animal Kingdom

I luv me a margarita but that ain't any margarita known to man. Scary. Psychedelic food colour overload.

We fortunately had connecting renovating rooms. Loved them.

But my credit card statement was a conflicting sign that I need to be in good standing at work
