Getting really excited! Started packing even though we have over two weeks to go. I can't help myself! Now, hopefully the weather will cooperate so we can swim in SAB. Fingers crossed
sndral said:Hmm, I'm feeling guilty, I fly out tues. @ 6 am for the start of my GF/YC split stay and I haven't even started packing. I did just get back home from the coast, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! I do have @ least 33 or 34 hours to get it all together.
BTW, the ticker is a tad off, I did it before I added the 3 GF nights and never updated it.
Dee, if you still need photos of the Ship Shape club after we arrive @ the YC on 11/30, I'll ask my son to take a few, he's likely to work out and will have his monster Nikon w/ him plus the know how to post photos.

The beach club pool is so big, what do you do with your stuff? Room key a few dollars a cell and camera? Just leave it in a beach bag laying on a chair?

So as a complete newbie to WDW and this forum, I asked this question already on the pre trip boards, and it seems like so far,the corporate dealive been given on tickets has been the best?
"So, I earned a trip for the family via Team Beachbody, and am due to go to WDW in March 2013. Thankfully, they chose our hotel for us (Yacht Club) so that is one thing I don't have to agonize over: boom, it's done.
Thing is, I gotta spring for the tickets, and I guess I was shocked by the cost. I've compared the corporate rate we got to the Disneyworld site prices, to undercover tourist, etc. I've even tried to see if AAA has any deals here in Texas.
For a 4 day base ticket (so far, we are not choosing to park hop due to the age of our kids, but that can change), for 2 adults, 3 kids (3,5,8), the price with tax is $1,178, or, $230.40 (adult), $215.10 kids, plus tax.
Seems like the most solid deal based on corporate rate that I have dug up. What do you think? Good, bad, average? Any suggestions to find better deals?
Oh, and WOW, the huge discounts for Florida residents!!!! My goodness!"
Any ideas about better ticket prices?

I was wondering... reading these boards, I have had the occasion to refer YET ANOTHER person to this thread for info on the BC/YC.
How many referrals does it take to get the free toaster oven that Janetmom said you could get if you referred enough people here? She also said that you could win a microwave but you would have to have an insane amount of referrals, like 500, to get that.
I've been looking around my kitchen and it's looking pretty beat up. Is there any chance for one of those smooth top electric ranges or fancy French door, side by side, refrigerators?
I'd better get busy with those referrals.... off to the community boards to trick more people into getting hooked on the YC/BC. Those community board folks will fall for anything and the budget board people are ripe for the picking!

The one piece of advice I can give you is that adding on the hoppers to your tickets (is it still $50 plus tax?) is the same price whether you do it in advance or during your trip. So you don't need to add it until and unless you need to. If you decide on your second day that you want to hop to a different park you can pay for the upgrade then. If you decide you don't need to hop, you don't have to add it.
That being said, as ocalla mentioned, being so close to EPCOT makes having park hoppers very attractive.
Good luck!
PS. If I don't get my BC/YC FAQ thread reward points soon I might jump ship over to the BWI and see if I can get a better deal....
