For those of you in RCI Points, I just found out the old 7-day, hopper unlimited use tickets are still available using points. Don't know how long this will last. I just called earlier today expecting to buy 2 of the new 10-day ones at a higher point price. They were 34000 points plus the booking fee. Just thought I would pass it on incase anyone was interested. I had some points that were going to expire so decided to use them this way. Thanks to CZ for that idea!!

Hey Bruce-

When our two weeks in Cayman last fall was canceled due to the hurricane and some of the points went back into my account, I realized they had to be used up this year. Since we already had everything booked for this year and were working on 2006, I was looking for something to use them on. I remembered you talking about Disney tickets. Well since David's kids & G-kids live east of Tampa and we go down there 2-3 times a year, I thought it would be a good thing to get for future usage. They all have the annual state resident passes and when we took the G-kid last year it was a real bite to pay the walk up cost for the two of us. So thanks to you, I'm feeling like I got a deal. We don't go a lot to Disney, but can easily use 7 days over a couple of years of trips. Thanks for the tip.

Aren't Tuggers great!!

Sorry to hear you lost that vacation of yours.

In 2004 which was just our first year of being in RCI Points we have booked 8 airplane tickets costing us only 320,000 RCI points which saved us about $1,800. Those savings I would belive are non taxable compared to our rental profits which are.

We exspect to save big time on Disney tickets the next time when take the grandkids to Disney World, and really big time if we fly to Hawaii at 70,000 RCI points per ticket.

But IMHO it is not fair what they are doing to the people who are just in RCI weeks.

Also the points assigned on the genaric weeks points gird is to low compared to the outlandish overblow point values given to most of the points resorts.

if you are purcasing any multi day pass make sure of the experationdate.
to the best of my knowlege mutiday passes are one good for 2-4 weeks after first use. so if you go for only one day on a 4 day pass the next 3 days are only good for use in the next 2 or 3 weeks after that first date of use.

The new Magic Your Way tickets expire unless you pay extra to add the no expiration option.
