So for most AP holders, they will get 10% instead of normally not getting a discount, and Premium AP holders get 20% off instead of 10%. 3. Wetzel's Pretzels is giving 20% off (twice the normal amount) to all AP holders thru December 15th

Originally Posted By hlbtimes2 I'm not surprised it was quiet. I dont think they gave people enough notice, for it being an early morning mid week event. So many people work, that its hard to be there that early.

Unless you were going to spend $1,000's of dollars, not much reason to go, unless you were in the area already.....
Originally Posted By smeeeko ^^well, I know a couple people who had a good time. Didn't spend 1k and the backwards commute to Anaheim didn't stink either.. Also we had a really nice lunch at the sit down place in Downtown Disney with a really nice friend of ours.. pumpkin ravioli in buttered sage.. omigosh! and seanyoda's pizza was ok but I'm happy for what I got. =) The 3 of us enjoyed a really good meal with mixed greens and a meat & cheese plate appetizer. The extra 10% discount on our AP discount was a nice treat as well. (sure 20% off our meal isn't a lot when it isn't 1000 bucks but whatever.. we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves have a nice visit, a good meal with good company & got a little bit of early holiday shopping done. So for the APers that were in the area already (like Darkbeer may have been & the other AP-ers, I can assure you it sure was nice to be able to get around the park after a year of a million toe & heel bruisings). =) seanyoda got some good shots of mainstreet too! =)
