Hi Everyone,

Sooooo, my boyfriend and I had planned a short trip to Orlando to celebrate him finishing law school and completing the Bar exam. When we decided to go on the trip, we were thinking it would be a relaxing trip (lots of pool time) and that we would watch our budget. Looking at the weather report - it seems we need to have a "plan B" - might not get too much pool time in with the Hurricane!

We have both been to Disney before (We went together 2 years ago and I have been a ton of times in the past). Usually I stay onsite, but this time we are staying in a downtown disney hotel. We also have a Disney visa card, so we have $167 reward dollars.

OK, so i'm finally getting to my question! I can't decide if we should use our reward dollars to get tickets to the parks or to use them for meals and other smaller attractions. Again, we are on a budget so we need to use the reward dollars as best we can. I have never really done some of the non-main attraction things (never been to Blizzard beach, mini golf, ect - plus we could use the rewards to get some FINE dinning! :wink: ). We are pretty low key, so no matter what we do we will have a blast!

What would you do? Get Park tickets or do other stuff?
Oh ya - we will be there Sept 3 - Sept 6

Thanks for your help!
Kate

Well it looks as if the Hurricane might miss Disney now. How many parks are you planning to go to in 3 days? I think prices for one day admission is around 55.00 so you could get 2 tickets and still have some money left for dinners etc... Which hotel are you staying at?

I wouldnt worry about the hurricane it will be long gone by the time you go plus its not going to hit Orlando anyway.

i think it depends on how many days you'll need tickets for and what kinda dinning you want to do!!! park tickets may be the best bet

I would use the money for the tickets, since you have to get those it gets them out of the way :D
