Hi everyone.
So my wife and I are now considering several different options in planning our trip. It looks very likely that we are going the week after Thanksgiving. But how we are going to plan this trip is the big question...
So I'm looking at different sites about ways to save money and one thing I notice is it seems like the biggest discounts available to non-Fl residents is with the AP. 20% off meals (with DDE)? 10% off purchases around the World? That seems pretty good! Of course, it wouldn't be worth it unless we went twice within a year, so we'd plan that as well! Two trips within a year! Whoo hoo!!!
Anyway, that's not a definite... yet. It's just something we're deciding on, but the thing is, is it worth it for us? We also have a Disney Visa and AAA and would the discounts we would get from those be better or equal to the discounts/benefits we would get with APs? Would the APs give us better deals? Basically, which would give us the best discounts for rooms and dining/shopping? Forget the fact that we would do a 2nd trip... just consider one trip in Nov after Thanksgiving and assume the ticket prices for one trip would be about the same (AP ticket prices split between two trips). AP with DDE versus Visa/AAA with DDP... which is better?
There's so much information out there that it's hard to assimilate it all to figure this out easily so if anyone out there has any experience with this or can give me any idea of which would be a better option... ANYTHING... that would help us with this decision, we'd appreciate it. Thanks.
