So my family of 5... me, DH, 13, 11 & 11 are going to Disney 11/18 - 11/25... Thanksgiving week. We have decided AGAINST doing the DDP. I ran ALL the costs and it's just not working for us.
Goffy4tink suggested I get and AP & DDE card. So here are the numbers for that, I'm not sure I have it right...
5 - 7 day park hopper passes - $1253.75 (which is what I was going to get)
4 - 7 day park hopper passes & 1 AP - $1472.60
So a difference of $218.85
Add the DDE card $60.00
So I need to save $278.85 to make the AP & DDE card worth it.
I went back thru my menu list, added up all my "TS" meals and one meal at AK and came up with a savings of $150.00
So that leaves $128.85 difference.
So, IF... and this is a BIG IF... there is an AP code for some of the dates for my trip... I know it won't be Thanksgiving day or the Friday after... and it can beat my AAA rate...
Then the AP & DDE combo could be right choice for me.
Does that make sense?
