I got an email too but it's for Jan-March I believe. And the discount is not very good!

Hello my peeps! I've been AWOL bc of some health concerns for the entire month of September. I had my very first mammogram the first week of September and it came back suspicious (calcifications). I had a diagnostic mammogram the next week, and then needed to go back on the 27th for a biopsy. That also happened to be my FP day. Needless to say, I didn't really care what FP I got that day, but I did manage to get everything we wanted.

The best news: my biopsy finally came back as benign.

We will truly have something to celebrate this year.

Hope everything is better with your health. That can be very scary!

YAY, for getting all the FPs that you wanted!

It quickly puts everything in perspective, doesn't it? Glad you got good news AND all your fastpasses!

Nope! Nothing on the email at all. I read another thread that people were having the same issue and had to call to have it applied. But since I promised my husband we wouldn't be going back again for a few years there's no point in calling really

You mean you won't be going back for another year right? I made the same promise 2 years in a row and we are on our 3rd trip in 3 years. Hahaha

Yes yes yes! That is great news and thanks for sharing with us.

Need some advice friends...which do you prefer, ohana breakfast or cape may breakfast?

We have ohana booked for our departure day at 10am. We have never done the breakfast there...my kids don't know Stitch but i really like the idea of the family style meal. But I have heard the Beach Club is beautiful at Christmas and really want a reason to get over there and see it. We are driving so we have our car. I also know ohana waits can be over an hour which will make DH and the kids fidgety and by the time we eat they will probably be ready to get out. So now I'm second guessing things.

There's no availability at Cape May but I can keep looking.

Hooray for benign! Now you can really celebrate!

After our 2014 trip, we said we were waiting at least 5 years. And then we went back in 2015...and now 2016...we have only missed one year since 2010. We have finally accepted that we will probably be going back every year. We just can't help ourselves

Is anyone planning to upgrade their park tickets to APs? I'm pretty clueless on this except I know you can only do it at the guest services counter when you are there. Anyone have more info to share?

Though this probably isn't a good idea for us because we are planning to start a family next year.

I promised DH we wouldn't go back for a few years last year.. Here we are again. Good thing is he isn't quite as grumpy as he was about it last year.

Yeah, we weren't planning to head back this year either. Funny how many of us are addicted to Disney! Luckily for me, DH has gotten the bug too.

 

[Iowamomof4]

This is supposed to be our last trip for "awhile" (whatever that means). Dd will be a senior next year and ds will be a junior. It's getting harder and harder to plan things like this. I'm glad we got a couple trips in while we could!

We stayed at BC last year. The carousel is absolutely amazing. The smell in the lobby is to die for. I wasn't planning on doing a Cape May bfast last year. It just so happened that DD woke up early (8a ) so I snuck us out of the room. I figured either way we would find some food somewhere. I was surprised when I asked the host at Cape May if there was any chance of getting in. He said as long as I was wiling to wait about 10-15 minutes he could get me in. DD just stared at the carousel for our wait time. The food was good. Breakfast buffet. There was enough variety to satisfy anyone. I had to special order gluten free Mickey waffles. They were on our table by time we got back from getting buffet food. It is only Minnie, Goofy and Donald. They are in beach attire. They spent a good amount of time at each table. It was expensive but on par with all character meals at WDW.
I haven't been to 'Ohana. Breakfast is hard for us because it is "the most important meal of the day". Staying at BC, getting up, getting dressed, taking bus to MK & then monorail/boat the Poly would take to long. You would think DD has hypoglycemia. "Mommy, I'm just so hungry." DH would just be plain hangry.
I think either one you would love. Have you set a TP alert for Cape May?

Just the little I know.. If you book AP you get 13 months for price of 12. It is $749 per person. This included a park hopper and photo pass (plus some extras). Assume you go twice in that 13 month period. I figured mine for a family of 3 (its the same price 3+). I also figured the photo pass early payment of $149.

AP x3= $2247

(6 day park hopper + photo pass x3 persons) x 2 visits= $2802

I wouldn't have necessarily gotten AP last year since DD was only 2. I really did not think we would go back this year. But hind sight is 20/20. If I would have gotten myself and DH AP. I would have only had to get her a ticket this year...

I'm going to upgrade my ticket to an AP, I'm just going to do it at the TTC when we arrive.

Thanks! I think it would be worth it if we can really commit to coming back again within 13 months. So when you upgrade, do you pay the difference between your tickets and the AP? For instance, I paid $398 for our 6-day PHs through undercover tourist. So would I owe $749-$398=$351 per ticket? That AP price doesn't include tax. With tax, I think the AP is almost $800, so I'd owe more like $400 per ticket I think.

Do you have to do it before you use your tickets to enter the park on your first park day? Or if you decide on day 5 can you still do the upgrade?

Oh, man. I would have loved to get this code! It would have been fun to play around with dates and see what we could have done. With already having paid for 10-day ph for everyone, we could upgrade to AP's and save majorly on tickets. Then we'd just have to pay for the room and food! C'mon Disney, throw me a bone!

I used a PIN code to book this coming trip. If I got another one, it would be pretty hard to pass up the AP!

My countdown says just a mere 50 days until the trip. I should be excited, but I feel I need more time!
