We barely even get a discount for Disneyland tickets here at Universal Studios Hollywood...which would probably be maybe $5 off the regular price. I'd basically be paying the old price pretty much. It's been almost two years since I last was in Disneyland so I'd love to go back again.
I can't believe you are that close and haven't been in two years :( That must be sad for you indeed.
Why do you get a discount through Universal for DL?
We get discounts for the other theme parks around California. I know we get discounts for Knotts, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Legoland, Sea World San Diego and since I'm an employee at Universal Studios, I can get free admission to Universal Orlando if I switch out my comp tickets that I get here.
That is a nice perk ~ surprising since they aren't all under the same parent company though.

Nice! That should be a good time to go. I went in September of 2003 and it was great weather and low crowds. I think the DLP parks are so pretty!

Not really. Just probably our last hurrah on our APs unless we renew them. (When? ;) )
I will post any pics I take. Just for you Sis.

Gotta get as much use out of those APs as you can. You might need a Premier AP so you can use it at DL and also at WDW then over the next year?
Thanks! And I will get to my TR, eventually, I promise. My computer is still having problems and shutting the display down without notice ~ grrrrr!

Even better ~ a completely new resort experience! I've heard nice things about OKW so I'll be interested in hearing what you think as well :D

Me too. Folks in the time share forum say it has the most space per unit. And looking at my new travel agent reference forms I can verify that is true. It's the oldest vacation club resort but well maintained from reviews I've read. Seems Disney figured out how to trim the sq footage on the newer resorts.

Whole week will run around $800. The $500 maintenance fee for my Hilton timeshare (already paid), $209 for the exchange fee (already paid), then $99 resort fee charged to non-DVC owners (upon check-in). Not a bad deal at all. AND I'll get a tiny commission on my park tickets when I buy them. Working the system for every cent I tell ya.

200 days feels like sooooo long, but I can make dining reservations in just 20 days. :)

Sounds like you got a great deal! That 200 days will fly by before you know it ~ especially if you get your foster child(ren) in that time frame!
