Every 5 Years since our honeymoon, we have gone to Disney for a big platinum plan trip. This year, that is not possible...1, no platinum plan. 2, I got a huge discount on a non
Disney cruise because I won a slot tournament last year with a free seat at a 100,000 tournament in May on a cruise out of port Canaveral. Even without this trip, finances being what they are, would have meant either a really scaled back Disney trip, or none at all.
Then we remembered, we would be already down there, and using points to stay at the Dolphin, we are extending our cruise vacation by one night to see the new stuff in AK. We have booked the night time AK tour for Avatar etc.
I was originally upset that we could not get down to Disney this year, and now so happy, even if for 2 days, I will get some Disney Magic. Maybe I will get some luck and win the big slot tournament...lol!
We are so greatful the Swan and Dolphin exist on property, take points, and are making it possible for a short, but memorable stay! I have always stayed on property since my first trip when I was 6. We stayed at the swan when I was a teen, and it was wonderful!
We are saving up money and plan on returning returning for a big trip in 2021. Magic Kingdom’s 50th anniversary, and all the new stuff should be open.
