So I could not help myself. I could not take the uncertainty of getting the magic bands. I ended up changing my hotel to be able to get into the test. It was only a small amount more to move from the All Star Music to Pop Century. Now my magic bands are all ordered and customized and my fast passes are all set. I am getting so excited to go! Woo hoo! 49 days to go.
Today is the day, the next magical step in our Walt Disney World experience. That's right it was the first day we could do our online check in! I keep hoping that I will get the next great email inviting me to try the magic bands. I will just have to wait to see....
It is that time of year, Disney has offered free dining plans for the fall. (only specific dates). I was not planning on gong to Disney this year with my little one, but last October we had a great time and with the free meal plan it is almost too good to be true. We booked 7 nights of hotel, 4 days of tickets to the park, and it will include 7 days of meal plans for 2 adults and 1 child. All for $1695. That is only $565 per person. I day at the park is now $95. A entire week including food and lodging for that, just amazing! There have been a lot of people complaining about the deal. Some prebooked and were upset about the dates and hotels that were included. I think what most people don't seem to remember, is that no matter how much Disney pulls at our heart strings, it is a company. The only reason they are offering the free meal plans is to fill hotel rooms that are currently empty. If they can fill a hotel at full price, they wont be giving a discount for it. And from any angle, why would they? If you could sell all of a product for $100 and you knew you were going to sell all of them within 1 day, why would you sell them at $20 to sell them all in 1 day? I was happy with the results. but I do understand the disappointment that comes if you didnt get what you wanted, but there have been alot of people being very angry with Disney on their blogs, you need to remember they are a business, a business that sells an amazing product. And with that it is time to count down to the trip..... Drum roll please........
