Just saw that Passholder discounts came out for when we are going in May. I had a pin code that I used for the original booking. In the past, like for last years trip the passholder discount was better than the pin code. Not this year. They were the same. What is the point of having the AP now? The price increase on the passholder prices is ridiculous as well. The renewal doesn't seem to be much better than the full price of the tickets we bought last year. 
Still haven't finished the Kona blendLoving your new avatar!! Tell Donna I said hello and I miss her.

I'm glad that you posted that on this site. People need to realize that Universal may not be Walt's park, but, Seuss Landing very readily shows that they can theme with the best of them. In fact, I don't think I can remember any Disney attraction that has that much theming involved with it. It makes Disney look like a bunch of upstarts.
I got that in my 30's. I was an overachiever. I have now gotten to the wisdom level of Solomon. In fact, the only thing that exceeds my wisdom would have to be my humility.

You know, I was wondering about whether to get an AP or not. It doesn’t seem to be worth it sometimes.Just saw that Passholder discounts came out for when we are going in May.

How long has I been now? Do you feel any better or still have the cough?

We have paid for one for the last bunch of years expressly for the purpose of getting the better room only discounts offered and the Tables and Wonderland in the past. TIW used to be $75 and was worth it for 20% off. Now it is I think $150? Not worth it for us. Now the dining discount with AP is back to 10%. Only merchandise is at 20%. We don’t buy that much stuff anymore. I can use our Disney Visa for a merchandise discount. Sometimes I really wonder about AP. I did get lucky to get the pin code I guess. I assume I cannot depend on that all the time. It was for 20% off. I remember getting pin codes years back where I got 35% off for deluxe when we would stay at those resorts. Now I see that discounts for deluxe this Spring are only 20% off. Is it possible that they want to decrease how many people go to Disney because the prices, discounted or not, are out of reach for many. The passholder discount for ASM for May brings the rate to $266 a night. That is a crazy price for those rooms. Well enough griping. This isn’t the N and R thread.

I think Florida has made me a bit thin blooded.
I used to come into work, turn on my space heater for a bit, then leave it off, and some days I wouldn't turn it on at all.
Now I come in, turn it on, and leave it on full blast for most of the day, unless I've got a meeting, in which case I turn it off, and then turn it back on as soon as I get back to my desk.
Whoops.
When I got home from Iraq I landed in a heat wave in California. The temps were just over 101 ish. I walked around for weeks in a sweatshirt because I was so cold compared to where I had come from.

The rate for SOG for the veteran months is $155 a night (that's the full rate you pay as they don't have tax). I've been trying to price other resorts with expected discounts and cannot really get close with resorts we're willing to stay at (especially since POP is out of the question). AoA Little Mermaid rooms were the only thing that got close, but I think we'll be happier overall at SOG.

While watching out of towners blow the light. when we stayed there, before the bridge, we took the bus. Getting to the pick up location at DTD (springs, ugh) was pretty scary, too.Hilton was my favorite down there, too. Been quite a few years since I stayed there, but I also followed the same bus routine as you--and went to DTD (or the freaking Springs as they call it now) for all of my returns from the parks, as there was more service. Unless I'm mistaken, I think there is also a foot bridge over the main road to Hotel Blvd. now. Crossing that road (prior to that) used to freak me out a little--as in 4-5 lanes (both directions) of traffic at the lights.
