Of course the rest of the time we stayrd with family and we only went to Disney 3 days, however you can purchase tickets for as long as you want at the discounted price. You are also NOT obligated to buy anything - you just forcefully say NO and they give you your tickets! It i great. We went to Summers Bay Resorts - not in the Disney compund butt only about 15 minutes away. The room sthat they give you is very basic, however, you get full use of all the ammentities of the resort and they are amazing!!These really do work - I know a lot of people are scepticle, however it really does work! Hope you have fun - We had a blast and loved every minute of it

You are braver than I am! DH, the kids, and I went to Tennessee a year ago and sat in on one of those time share things. Uggggggggh. The lady that was selling to us was so persistent, and the man she brought in after her was even worse. (she brought him in when we said no) Anyhow, she had told us it would be a 90-min presentation and it was 3 hours, 30 minutes. My DH and I were so frustrated and tired when we left. We swore we'd never do it again, no matter what the reward!

Last year, we all went to Disney World. We stayed at the All-Star Movies Resort. It was about $99 a night. Although our room was small, the actual resort was pretty cool and fun! We also did the Disney Dining Plan. It saved us A LOT of money and we got to eat at places that we normally wouldn't choose because of the price. One bad thing about the DDP, though, is that last year's plan was much better than this year's. (more food choices)

The best part about our Disney vacation was that AirTran was having a sale and we all flew to Orlando from Indiana for $99.00 ROUND TRIP each. Great deal. I also loved the Magical Express airport/hotel service. Very handy.
