Premium Plan for One Night Just for the Tours, LaNouba, etc.??

[Symans3honeybees]

Yeah. My AAA agent charged us $50 when we booked a cruise with them. She said it was any time you used a travel agent.

Maggie

Wow, that's so not right!! As I recalled, they do charge booking fees for airline and train tickets. In order to avoid the booking fees, my TA suggested that we should get our Amtrak train tickets at the station ourselves 2 years ago. But we are talking about a Disney vacation....

Does anyone know where the priority viewing for Wishes is located? I'm trying to decide if it would be worth it to try to make it back for Wishes after La Nouba or not?

I'm not 100% positive, but I believe it is in that lower patio just to the left of the always closed Noodle Station food service, and in front of the Plaza Restaurant. It is normally a designated smoking area, but they close it off every night for Wishes and only a very few folks are allowed down there. So I'm pretty sure it is for premium/platinum/grand gathering viewing.

Just wondering if anyone has done this and if reservations for the 2 (1 Night) stay are harder to get since you're on the plan. THis is a good idea. We priced it for Value season and it really is a bargain when you think of it. THanks!

Is it the same area where they have the dessert party?

No, the dessert party is actually in the seating area of the "ever closed" Noodle Station.

This area is to the left of that (as your facing the castle), and down a set of steps.

If you are walking to the Noodle Station from Main Street, just before you get there, look left, there is a set of steps leading down to a patio with metal tables and yellow umbrellas. This is right across from the Plaza Restaurant and some restrooms.

I got a quote from dreams unlimited, and they require you to buy +1 extra day on the park tickets if you want the platinum plan.

 

[maggiew]

What do you mean +1? Yes, you have to buy at least a one day ticket to make it a package. Are they making you buy a 2 day ticket??

If so, do it yourself online. It only requires a 1 day ticket.

Yes, this is true. It prefills a 2 day but lets you change it to a 1 day. Maybe the TA is just not changing it. I would book it myself it's that's the case.

i have booked this twice in the last week...a one night stay at POP (we're never gonna be in the room so why not??) with 7 day PH and the Premium Dining. We were not asked for a $200 deposit, it was only $130--the price of the room.

Just wanted to let ya know. We DID book both online if that makes a difference.

Did you receive a confirmation from Disney Destination reflecting these reservrations?? My Premium plan reservation was booked with $200 deposit. My extra night(room only) was paid fully upon booking.

yep.

 

[Symans3honeybees]

yep.

That's interesting!! Good to hear that you weren't charged so much up front.....but my final payment date can't come soon enough...we still have months to go.

Maggie

Yes, they said it requires a two day ticket if you're doing the plan for one day.

 

[Symans3honeybees]

Yes, they said it requires a two day ticket if you're doing the plan for one day.

I have seen it in their "supposedly" new addition to the website. I have to say that I hated it. However, you have the option to choose your own ticket configuration. Don't fall into that little trap of confusion.

Wow, that was a quite change for the better!! WDW has removed that "2-day ticket" away from site. It's all good now.

 

[clkelley]

Yeah, call back. When you price online, it automatically comes up with a two-day ticket, but then you have the option to change it. The DRC cast member either didn't know how or was too lazy to attempt to change it.

Anyone know if the Cabana rental at the GF are part of the recreation on the Platinum plan? Thanks!

 

[Bete]

Looking to hear from those who have done it and how well it turned out.

 

[Symans3honeybees]

We won't be going until late August. Hopefully, we will have plenty of pics to share to all of you.
