Looks like they are changing some of the extra perks this year.
I'm not familiar with Niki Bryan Spa, or Sammy Duvall?
I also notice they changed the arcade card to a point system rather than a time limit. I think that is a good idea, the previous 30minutes were limiting, but with a point system we could take the kids in to play a few games and then leave and come back another time to play again.

Wow, you have DVC and you still went for the package?! I am certainly jealous.

The deal states that you get basic park tickets. You may have upgraded?

How come you own DVC and book a regular package?

I know, I was wondering that too, but it looks like the package is for February, so it maybe for the 2010 packages?

We booked the package because it was a great deal and we're saving our points for 2 weeks at Kidani in August. We don't want to have to borrow (although I know it's not a big deal), plus we're traveling with friends and this is what they could afford. My kids are fine with the Pop, I'd rather stay at a DVC, but patience is a virtue. I enjoyed my time at Kidani this past August, so I'm trying to keep it in perspective. Either way, it's a WDW trip and that just makes us happy!

As far as the new perks? We did tell them we were DVC'rs and Annual Pass Holders, not sure if that helped? I was surprised at the different selections. Hopefully we will actually use some of them (besides the arcade pts, my kids are all over that!).

Ask my DH, I'm definitely no angel. I'm ok with staying at the moderates, the values are tough, but we'll be with friends and we'll have fun. We've been to Disney so much this past year, I'm greatful for wherever we can stay. (Ok, did I convince you yet? LOL - I'm still trying to convince myself!!)
