Hey y'all.
We have a reservation deposit down for the week listed above at the Beach Club - Club Level.
We will only book a room because we will be getting tickets separate. Room charge is $3903. If a 30% discount applies we will be at $2732.10.
Spouse still has active and valid Florida CDL and a house in Jax. We will at least qualify for FL - Annual passes for spouse and girls. Tickets at work price is $402 each. [We are planning on July, 2013 for 17 yr old's graduation and we will be able to use the passes then too].
I only have a MA license and will not qualify for FL Annual PassTickets [unless tax bill comes from Florida that has both of our names between Sept 18 - Nov 1, which will qualify me the FL Annual Pass] and the Tickets at Work price is 7day hopper $319.00 that expire 14 days after 1st use. Total for tickets for two years is between $1608 - 1844 for 4 people 10+. Total for 6 night, 7 day vacation $4576.00 Keep in mind this includes tickets for most of us for next summer as well.
Does anyone know if this is a good deal?
PART TWO - Vacation Plan Confirmation
Can you take a look at family plans and confirm?
Listed below is our family's attributes:
13, 17 yr old girls who have been to Disney at least 5-12 times at all different age levels, experiences at All Sports a few times, Key West [very funny picture of them as my avatar in jacuzzi tub], going for weekends and staying in Kissimmee [Old Town rocks] many times, French Quarter, and in March, 2012 the All Star Music Suites.
13yr old is petite, fearless girl, who is not playing Barbies anymore but is now collecting Disney Princess dolls. She was very scared to go on the Tower of Terror [we had to walk off the road after waiting in line] but finally took the plunge! She was born in Jax, FL and moved here to Boston when she was 11. She will go to a park at opening and will want to stay until it closes. Picky eater.
Favorite Character: Minnie
Favorite Princess: Rapunzel
17yr old is a reserved young women who is aspiring to be an Elementary Teacher with sights on Westfield State. She also was born and raised in Jax, FL and relocated to Boston in her sophmore year. This A-B student [who also attended Sacred Heart] suddenly was a C-D student. A very big adjustment. By the end of the school year she was into a multiple grade range with progress in each. She loves Alternative being around concerts ate Metro Park since 13. We have tickets for Uproar in Sept to keep that part of her life intack. She loves coasters and thrill rides [ loved Mission Space] and is stoked we are heading back in Nov. She will go to a park at opening and will want to stay until it closes. Can always find something on a menu to eat.
Favorite Character: Peas from Toy Story 3
Favoriet Princess: Ariel
Spouse is 54 and used to attend his father's FPL company outings as Magic Kingdom since its opening. He was born and raised in Hollywood, FL. He goes on any ride but HATES lines! He can get very irating to anyone near him and does not use good Disney language the longer the line is. He did not go in March. He would rather go early to park, leave midday and rest at resort, and come back for dinner or after dinner. He will always find something on the menu.
He has no favorites - we just get him Grumpy shirts...
I am 43 and originally from Saratoga Springs, NY. Came to Jax in 1991 and stayed for 19 years. The move to Boston was to get wokr. We all know FL was hiot first by the economic issues our country is having. I have motion sickness so some rides that I have rode at leasst once, I avoid. Those times I like to check out the details and leisure shop in the area the family is in for the ride.
Since I am getting older, I now like to split my day as well. Being to these parks many times, I have more to explore at resorts. I have some dietary needs, where I try to avoid fried foods and eat healthier.

Based on all of this information we chose the Beach Club - Club Level. Looks like the extra $25 per person a night is worth it since we will get use of it. I think it will also be nice to have the special attention.
