Dana,

I finally got it all taken care of, and boy is it expensive to go. Good thing, I'm starting to save money now for it. Dec 30-31 because these aren't discountable days are going to run me $539.66 a night in a gardenview room at the Polynesian. However, for Jan 1-8, 2006 I will atleast beable to apply a AAA rate to this reaservation for the gardenview room at the Polynesian. With the AAA rate, it should only cost me $288.11 a night as long as the rate for the value season stays the same as Jan 1-8. 2005. They quoted me the regular rate of $394.71 w/ tax since the 2006 rates aren't out yet, but someone will call me in Septmeber when they are out to let me know what the rate will be.

I have my AP pass so my park tickets are taken care of and I just transfered my airfare from my May trip to my Dec trip and only had to pay $3.09 more which I was surprised about since I'm leaving the night before New Years Eve. Also I was able to give them my flight information, so I am set up on the free magical express service.

So now all that's left is to save money to cover my room and food. I know this is not going to be a cheap vacation, but I'm not exactly going during the cheap time either. I am kind of disapointed that I won't be going back as soon as I thought, however atleast after Memorial Day I will still have a trip to look forward to. I will be coming in early enough so I can see the decorations still up on the 30th and 31st before they take them down and I'm excited about that.
