What to do with the discount?

**Dopey** · 08-13-2007

I got lucky today - the Disney Visa discount was applied to my trip

I had to move from POFQ back to POR, where we originally had the ressy until I changed that last Friday - but I love it at POR, it was meant to be for me to be at that resort.
I saved $ 600.00. I am so happy.
So now I am contemplating doing something special one night. We are already doing the MVMCP, but I am all for spending some more on something special

Got any ideas?

allirella · 08-13-2007

No big ideas, but congrats on the big savings! I'm sure that you can come up with something to splurge on...

palmickey · 08-13-2007

Congratulations!

Victoria and Albert's?

OR you could get me a flight down to have dinner with you!

**Dana** · 08-13-2007

You could take me as your personal WDW advisor....$600 should cover it..lol
Kidding my dear. I think you and your DH should have a nice dinner and send the boys to DQ.

How exciting! Maybe a special dinner show like Hoop-de-Doo or Mickey's Backyard BBQ.

Or how about a show like La Nouba?

Dana, I think I can do that and won't get any complaints from TheBoyzz.

La Nouba - I have been kicking that idea around. I wonder. How long is that show. I know my boys won't be interested, but again, I can send them to DQ and they'd be overjoyed

La Nouba is 90 minutes and there is a 15 minute pre show.

How old are the boys? There is really great "trick" bike riding, trampoline and a lot of strength and skill like acts boys will LOVE.

My girls are 3 & 7 and the ACTIVE 3 year old sat memorized for the whole 90 minutes!

It is an AWESOME show . . . we loved it!

La Nouba is fabulous, and I think your boys might love it as much as y'all will! Wow, what a show. If you decide to give it a try, buy the second-priced seats, and get there a little early for the pre-show!

**MissDisney** · 08-13-2007

... or maybe you could apply it to your park passes and extend it to a full 10 days plus water parks, and add the no-expire option so you don't have to buy park passes next time!

... or take a cookie-baking pal with you!!!

The boys will turn 14 on our trip.

They roll their eyes when Bravo shows all of the Cirque du soleil shows and I watch. I think they'll be happy with DQ, it's one of the things I entice them with to make them go with me to WDW

I say you and your DH go to dinner at portabello's and drop the kids at DQ....you could always mosey over to PI for an hour before picking them up. I had a great exeperience with leaving the kids there. The cell phone doesn't always reach them inside that place, so set a meet time in the gift shop.

**WishUponAStar** · 08-13-2007

OK, the boys are 14 so this is what you need to do with the $600...

Leave them to their own devices for a couple hours one evening and hire the Grand Floridian yacht (the Grand 1) to cater your own personal dinner on the lake during the Magic Kingdom fireworks. I think you can do this for $400-$500.

ohhhhhh, that is really special and would make for a great 28th anniversary to-do, wouldn't it?
Where can I find info on that one? That official Disney site is so convoluted and not very helpful with stuff like that. They hide the good stuff
