Hi,
Was just listening to Disney podcasts while doing my weekend cleaning and heard the following news. Had just read your trip report this morning (hello, yes, I'm a Disney addict!) and thought you'd be interested.
Effective 2/20 AP holders can book a room only plus dining reservation and won't need to purchase a separate magic your way ticket to take advantage of the dining plan. You do need your AP at the time of check-in.
So sounds like you can add a bit more to your savings!
Have fun on the trip of a lifetime. I can't wait to hear what 30 days in WDW is like. I can't even imagine!!!
