Luckily we still do make it to WDW 3 or 4 times a year but going all over the world is really so important to us...all the culture, people and life experiences cannot be duplicated.
What do you mean? Epcot isn't good enough???
Seriously though, I know what you mean. I have met people who only go to WDW and I don't quite get it. I tell people to go to Paris, where they can also get a little Disney fix (we've done that twice already)!
About the codes, I've been lucky and received them after ordering the planning DVD.
