For Space220 - just do the Lounge! Way cheaper. We had 5 people and it was about $180 USD for food & drink. …and we were full! (We had to split into party of 2 and party of 3, but that was no big deal - we still passed Apps between the tables)
The reason I can do multiple trips per year…no kids. I just have to pay for myself. If we stay on property we don’t rent a car, if we stay off property - it’s in a timeshare. (My friend has one and my mom has one …so I’m fortunate I don’t have to pay the maintenance fees, they just charge me my share of exchange fee)
…and then there is the AP. For me it’s been 100% worth it. Including the money I have saved for the non-AP’s that have travelled with me. (The money saved on Parking, Merch & Food add up!)
