Since we usually get two one-week trips out of one annual pass, the cost per day becomes extremely low ($446/14 = $32 a day). The best part about having an annul pass is the freedom it gives you. You never feel like you "wasted a day" as you might with a regular park-hopper. If you only want to be in a park for Illuminations one day no problem... you are not using up a limited number of days on your pass for just an hour or so in the parks.

I am used to staying at the regular hotels and having more flexibility, but in 3 visits at current prices this will pay for itself, so hopefully all will go well. (I would have gone a week earlier if I were staying at a hotel but couldn't get the DVC I wanted at that time - just 1 day was not available which threw out a whole 10 day vacation!)

I just want to recommend Mousesavers.com for their section on DVC in the - Other Disney Vacations. Seems to explain a lot altho it needs to be updated. Have you registered as a member on http://www.DVCMember.com I guess you can book online now! I was able to grab one night at BLT during Easter Week just to use up remaining points.

Have looked there for other things but not this for some reason. I actually made our first reservations by phone because I had so many questions and am glad I did because DH was interpreting the info all wrong and in a way that would have worked against us.
