I juggle credit cards to get the freebies. DD24 and I will be staying at AKL for 6 nights in August through a TA deal. Standard view room with 6day PH and a "freebie" water park admission is $2100. Thank goodness I have Disney VISA rewards built up- and this TA takes them. We also have tons of Southwest miles, so airfare from Hartford, CT to Orlando is $22, total, and no charge for checking the suitcases. We won't be renting a car as Magical Express is free, as are the Disney busses (even though I truly hate them). I'm debating about the food... I have $400 in Disney gift cards (incentive reward when we spend our Disney Visa cards) that I could use, but I also have about $800 in Disney rewards money left after paying for the room/tickets. Any way you look at it, I am getting off pretty easy on this trip!! (Of course, I could have done free dining at ASMu for about $2000 and had points leftover, but, oh well, you don't go on a 25th birthday celebration EVERY year!!)
