Ok, so part of the family is going to Disneyland in March (my family is currently separated due to my law schooling). We are thinking of going again in May (not during blackout days) to take another part of the family. For those of us going twice, doesn't it make sense to get AP? Especially since I think we would be able to use them 2-3 additional times before they ran out? (a Halloween decoration run and a Christmas decoration run -- right after my finals but before the week before Christmas when its very busy).
It annoys me to no end that I can't find out what kind of discounts AP holders get on DLR hotels without already being an AP holder. Can someone enlighten me as to what kind of discounts are available?
Is it worth missing MM if we decide the AP DLR discounts aren't enough and stay somewhere else (and thus get no MM)?
And the Deluxe passholders get 10% on many restaurants but not the discount on merchandise? That is reserved for the premium holders? Is that right? I wasn't very clear on that.
Thanks to any who can answer any of my questions -- give advice. Also, this is probably the only year in my life I can do this, since once I'm out of law school, well, I have to work. The two kids who would be going with most often are currently 4 and 6 and I think they would enjoy a year of Disney magic. My others (all older teens) will likely only go once each.
