What I would really like to see Disney do is come up with a meaningful rewards program for their loyal customers. Like the casinos do. That would go over well, and would be a win/win for everybody.

That would be awesome... let them track how much you are at the parks and give you comps based on when you go and what you spend

It seems ike they know everything you are doing anyway, why not get rewarded for it?

When I was growing up, we practically lived in the Atlantic City casinos cause my parents got comped meals, suites and just about everything else for as long as I can remember... imagine if Disney would send you a voucher in the mail for a free 2 day Sun-Thurs stay at the resort you most frequented or a meal on the Mouse... I know personally I would just end up spending that money in the parks anyway....
Before we moved to FL, I had been trying for years to figure out a way to do a Disney vacation... but we were never able to... now I'm making up for it!

We got the Seasonal Passes this year, which so far have worked out fine and I'm finding that the boys mostly want to be at the Fort when we are there anyway... I'm the one who wants to go over to the Parks and see the shows etc... they could care less most of the time... but I still spend a fortune every time we go no matter what- wether its on ice cream, toys, pins- whatever... no matter where you look, what ride you go on- you are surrounded by gift shops, carts and strolling vendors for just about everything...
We also have Sea World passes... I love the way they work the EZpay option... for 2 year passes for all 6 of us its only 30 bucks a month that comes right out of my credit card. We get free parking, discounts on food and merchandise, no blackout dates, special events and all sorts of promotions... we could have added Aquatica, Bush Gardens or Islands of Adventure too, but my lil guys are too small to justify water parks and Tampa is too far for just a day trip for us... but we go to Sea World at least 3-4 times a month at this point... I'll go just for a day with the boys and let them play in Shamu's Happy Harbor, go see a show or two then stop at the Fort for dinner on the beach before heading home for the night...

I never go to Orlando wo getting to the Fort... now if Matt would just get a trailer for the van so I could take the cart down with me on day trips....
Anyway... Back to the point I was attempting to make before I went off track... we have trips booked to the Fort during our park black out dates, but I'm not too worried about it. If the boys get antsy at the Fort and want to do something else- its about a 10-15 min drive to get to Sea World and they love sitting in the Soak Zone and feeding the dolphins etc... true you can see everything Sea World has to offer in a day, maybe 2 if you cant get to all the shows in one day- but since most of the shows are with live animals- they arent ever the same twice. I think I've seen Believe about 8 times in hte past 3 months (yes, I am addicted to Sea World almost as much as the Fort... ) It has never been identical... so its always a blast, for me anyway...
Shan- I wish they would give ppl out of state discounts just like they give us- when my parents were here it cost a fortune to get them tix for a week- if they were residents, I could have gotten them seasonal passes and saved just over 100 bucks
Oh well...thats enough of a novel for one post.... what can I say... it gets lonely sitting here talking to the Dog all night... she doesnt talk back nearly enough....
