Anyone in Nov 2011 club get anything recently?
We have until late Sept to pay and now I'm starting to look at other options... other resorts and possibly off site as well.
It's the first trip we booked in advance, as we usually book about 2-4 weeks out b/c I never know my work schedule. I was so excited when BLT was available (it's never available 2-4 weeks out), so we booked hoping to get free dining or a pin or something over the 10 month period. No such luck with PINs and when FD came out I called immediately and they told me no FD rooms available so I'm stuck with my current reservation. I'm so bummed. I even considered buying an AP pass to see if that would work (hoping we can make it back in a year), but they checked and no rooms with discount there either.
So now, I'm considering going back to Poly again (last time I called, we could get FD for our dates). Smaller space, but we've stayed there 2 times before, & know we like it. I was really looking forward to something different for once, but it would save quite a bit of money.
For us, my kids are at the ages that Monorail is non-negotiable for us right now if we stay at a Disney resort. We spend 65% of our time at MK, and it makes sense for us (I know this will change as they get older). If we don't do monorail, I think I'd rather go Off Property for now to save the money. So I'm trying to decide- eat the cost of BLT with no pin/no FD (DH not liking this option), switch to Poly with FD, or just go off property.
Anyone else in a similar pickle?
On the bright side- 2 more months til Disney!!!
