Silver Plan Add On?

[leighe]

I am considering adding this to our December trip. We were planning on doing most of the things that are included - spa treatments and Cirque for example. How much is it per person per day? We already have AP's - do you have to purchase UPH? Can you do this for only certain days of your trip - like maybe three out of five? Thanks for all the info!

I'm normally an advocate of the Silver Plan, but since you already have APs this plan is not for you. It can only be purchased with the Dream Maker package, and includes your resort stay and UPH passes.

But... here's the info you were looking for in case you haven't activated your APs yet, and want to save them for a future trip. The cost of adding on the Silver Plan is $68 per adult per night. Since you get two wishes per adult per night, each wish is worth approximately $34. As long as you will be using the wishes for things that cost more than $34 you'll do fine.

For instance, Cirque is a good choice (saves about $10 per adult), as are the tours (saves about $30 per adult) and the dinner shows (saves about $20 per adult). From what I've heard spa treatments come with a good savings as well. But, on the flip side, dinners (unless you share meals or eat a lot) are generally not a good way to save.

Keep in mind also, that you get one freebie with the Silver Plan (a choice of souvenier, minigolf, Leave a Legacy tile or $25 Planet Hollywood gift certificate). You also get preferred viewing locations for Wishes, Illuminations, and the AK parade. While I think the locations stink, others enjoy having a definite seat.

Oh, and to answer your questions about whether you could add the plan to only part of the trip... the answer is yes and no. You can't split a single reservation up and add the plan onto one part of it. But, you can split your stay into two separate reservations and add the plan to one of those reservations. We did this by booking a Dream Maker package with the Silver Plan for the frist three nights, and booking a separate regular Dream Maker package for the last three nights. Worked out great, but we did have to use up all our wishes during the first half of our stay. You could do this by booking the Dream Maker plus Silver for the first few days of your stay, and then booking an AP room only package. Could actually work very well for you.

Definitely something for you to think about.... good luck!

Can anyone tell me what spa treatments are allowed on the package? Thanks.

We have the Dream Maker plus Silver Plan for our Oct trip. Do you actually have seats for the parade and Wishes or does everyone stand to watch in a roped off area. Where are the spots to watch them. Our TA is arranging to reserve the spaces for us.

The Dream Maker package you get $25 Planet Hollywood voucher. It is dated or can you use it another date as my daughter will be there a week after us and was wondering if she would be able to use it. We are using our wishes for dinner each night, 2 tours, Cirque du Soleil and dinner show.

If we do the mini golf how do we go there as we do not have a car.

The spa treatments that are available for the Silver Plan are:

* 25 mi. Face and Scalp Massage
* 25 min. Sinus Relief
* 25 min. Lavender Meadows Bath
* 25 min. Sea Salt Body Polish

They are 1 wish a piece and there is only allowed 1 treatment per person during the package stay. You have to book in advance by calling the GF Spa at 407-824-2332 and you'll need a credit card to book it.

I couldn't find any exact descriptions for these, but there are descriptions for other similar treatments at the GF Spa

here

Hope the info helps!

The viewing location for Wishes is near the Plaza Restaurant located between Main Street and Tomorrowland. You actually have seats at the table chairs that are used for eating during the day. The ones that are down the steps, not the ones near the Plaza Pavillion counter service - those are open to anyone. I liked this location alright, but there are definitely some spots that are better.

For Illuminations you watch from the boat dock near Morrocco. This location does not have seats, and because of the way the boat dock is set up, you can't still on the ground either. You must stand to see. This was a stinky location in my spot. Illuminations seems like a much better show when being viewed from somewhere else around the lagoon. My personal fave is China!!

I'm not sure where the AK parade location is. I have a feeling that it doesn't include seating though.

The voucher they give you for Planet Hollywood must be used during the Silver Plan ressie. It's got some bar codes and a date on it that I assume make it invalid after the ressie is over.

The AK parade location is Bridge near hababe village and and resturant but I can't recall name. I'd say it's best of 3 VIP locations. And no theres no chairs to be had.
