Hey all,

Help me decide what to do! We have 2 birthdays within a week of each other in July. July 23 is my husband's and July 29th our daughter's. We already are planning on getting 10-day non-expire PH/WP&M tickets, and I'm trying to figure out if it would be best for us to go during this time to take advantage of the Celebrations promo. Looking to go maybe July 22 thru July 30, so as to be there for both birthdays and would probably pay for our weekends cash to conserve points.

My other option is to go during Sept/Oct for MNSSHP. We went to the Christmas party last year and LOVED it!!! So we wanted to try the halloween party..... However, no birthdays during either of those months. :sad2: I was set on going during this time, even though it meant pulling the kids out of school for a week or so. Then they came out with the Celebrations promo and I'm SO tempted to go in July!

I'm thinking it would be to our advantage to go in July but would like to see what all of you have to say. I understand it's a $75 (??) gift card in place of park tickets if you already have park tickets? And is this per celebration?

Help? Advice? Buy more points? :rotfl:
 
Yes, you can get a $75 gift card for each birthday person if you already have park tickets. Whether it is worth it to you depends on how much you wanted to try out MNSSHP and whether the summer weather is to your liking. If you were considering September then July is probably not much different because both times will probably be hot and humid. October weather should be more moderate. MNSSHP starts Sep. 4 and Food and Wine starts Sep. 25. Free Dining for cash reservations is Aug. 16 - Oct. 3, in case you wanted to consider that possibility for all or part of a trip, or maybe you want to avoid the busy restaurants and go after Oct. 3. Good luck!
 
Definitely wanted to avoid free dining! Done DW in July and said I'd never do it again, but the opportunity of NOT taking the kids out of school is looking pretty good right now, and we would avoid the baseball/football issue here in Ohio... I think maybe I'll call member services and see what's available. Just saw on another thread July 22 is not available anywhere, so may be out of luck anyway.
