Just got back from my first flight and 10 days with Mickey, although I had to share him with some chick named Irma. I've been thinking about when I would like to/can afford to go next and have a few weeks next year in November and December I am looking at. I think between the amount I regularly contribute to the vacation savings account and my daily WW rewards jar, it might be doable. I am also playing with the idea of shooting for another trip in September 2019, which would make an annual pass attractive. Since Photopass is included on the AP, it looks like that would be the way to go if I decide to do try to do both trips. The discounts should help me out too.
I know the AP holders typically receive resort discounts as well. If the trip for Nov/Dec 2018 has an AP discount available for the resort and I try to apply that, when does my year start? Would that be the day I apply the discount or the day I use it to get in a park the first time?
I'm also wondering about ADRs for solo travelers. My whole family went with me a few weeks ago, but it would most likely be just me on these next 2 trips. We were there during Irma and had 2 ADRs cancelled due to that. I was able to reschedule Chef Mickey's for myself, but no one else was available or interested in doing breakfast there vs. brunch. It was a little weird, but I had a valid explanation for what happened. It was still a lot of fun, but somewhat of a hassle trying to find someone to take my picture for me. The 3 I would definitely want to do are Chef Mickey, 1900 Park Fair, and Liberty Tree Tavern. Does something like LTT work when it is served family style for just one?
