Hey I have a bit of extra cash before my trip im staying at porfq have a myw hopper ticket and the ddp. I cant afford an upgrade to a deluxe from a moderate... Is there anything else I could upgrade to? Another day would be too much to change the flights im considering deluxe dining plan or the wine and dine package. Looking for suggestions to add a little more magic to my trip.

I would use the extra $$ to book a tour, or for Cirque du Soliel tickets :)

Both would be very awesome experiences, assuming that you haven't done them yeat.

I agree with Heather. From what I read POFQ is a great place to stay and unless you want to have a sit down meal for each meal the regular DDP is just as filling. We always have extra snack credits at the end of a week stay.

So have a new experience. The Cirque is definitely a must see for our next trip.

Did you check WL? It is the least expensive of the dlx resorts and my personal favorite. If your looking to upgrade it may be worth looking into.

It's not really an 'upgrade', but there is also the helium balloon ride in downtown disney...I can't recall the name right now....I think it is not very expensive. Like $15/person...maybe.

Well, if you can't decide on an upgrade...you could always just buy lots of souveniers! :thumbsup:

We did that last year holy amazing!

Thanks for the great suggestions so far. Cirque was vetoed by the girlfriend but one of the tours is becoming a definite possibility.

The Segway tour in Ecpot is lots of fun! If you really want a tour, you can try the all-day tour!

Can definitely recommend doing the Segway Around the World tour. It's a blast! So much fun! Plus, you'll learn some interesting facts about the World Showcase.

I am hoping for spare funds for a Wishes fireworks cruise. Parasailing also looked interesting.

Sorry to jump thread, where can you find information on the balloon ride please? 15$ a person is a pretty good price I think?! Also where to find info on the wishes fireworks cruise please?

Just a thought...you've already planned a nice vacation. Something else could essentially be just "extra"; something else to work into an already busy schedule. Why not use it to book your next vacation? Again, just a thought.

I'd recommend the Keys to the Kingdom tour in MK! We did this on our last trip and it was fantastic and well worth the cost!

Spa. Treatments.

Thanks for the great suggestions. Next trip is kind of up in the air unless we get a ridiculous bounce back offer. I'm sure the girlfriend would like the idea of Spa treatments and maybe I'll spend the day in Disney Quest. Keys to the Kingdom maybe a little too long. Segway Around the World seems to be a winner. If I remember correctly the fireworks cruise was pretty pricey.

Why not do a couple 2TS meals (say at California Grill and Artist Point) and then out of pocket a couple of TS meals someplace else.
