RE; Port Orleans French Quarter, Barb and Lewski: The April 'off-season' rate just came out yesterday at $75 !!! (plus tax etc) for Annual Passholders. The Disney visa rate we got was only about 6-7 dollars more. If you gals don't have either of these, when the time comes be sure to check for
AAA auto club discounts also. If you don't have AAA....WHY NOT? Barb....how many days is your earlier trip? It might be worth it to do an annual pass (for you) if between the two trips you have 7-8 park days. Also if you pick up an AP at the beginning of your Aug (?) trip, you may be elligible for some discounts to use on that trip.
RE: Danauk...if I win the lottery before October, you are SO THERE with us! Heck, if I win lots ALL TAGLIKINS will attend! (even if you have to use the 'grandma died' story to get off work) Guess I better pick up some lottery tickets, huh?
RE: Magical Gatherings, we'd be interested in this option. However, as we're doing the time share 10/9 for four nights we couldn't count as Disney guests. The remaining nights are not booked yet, could be Disney property, but we also consider Swan/Dolphin which are not included in the Magical Gatherings. Plus, we'd want to do it at the beginning of the week while Barb and Lewski are there anyway. Though I haven't gone back to Ohana's post to see which days events are offered, I'm most interested in the Fireworks Voyage/dessert buffet.....fireworks and chocolate! and the price is pretty good. I would also be willing to pick up the tab for a childs ticket for that event....anyone else?
OK, PixieMagic just called and yelled at me for still being at work! So I'm heading home now and probably will check back in later tonight (done with dog sitting). I just made PS's for April...dinner at Boma, lunch at Crystal Palace (which starts at 1130a, BTW) and dinners at Bietergarden and Cape May....that's $86 bucks I have to tuck away from my dog sitting fee (not including tips).
Geffric, bet you're getting pretty darn excited.....I'm putting Disney crusing on my wish list for 2006 (or late 2005 ??)
