[quote name='sangredekrazy']anyone get/saving points for the tours or the resorts? just wondering if anyone has actually redeemed anything like that before. seems like it would take forever and i feel like once i got that many points, i wouldn't want to spend em![/QUOTE]
I'm actually saving up for the Disney 3 Day Resort trip for 22000 points at the moment.
The most I ever redeemed was a 7500 point reward to see Mary Poppins on Broadway. If I remember correctly, you choose the reward, check out and then wait a day for an e-mail.
Here's the part I forgot. The e-mail either had me call them, or they mailed or e-mailed me a form to fill out. It included my details along with me writing down the top 3 times/dates of the available dates to attend the show. I mailed, or e-mailed, or faxed the form in. Eventually a woman from the theater left me a voicemail a day or 2 later saying to call her back. She told me what was available and we confirmed. I used my license to pick the tickets up at Will Call. The seats were center orchestra and only like 10 rows back. I was rather impressed with the reward.
Later on in the coming year I should be able to redeem the trip and I'll post details about it then. Apparently you just get a gift card and have to redeem it. I'm guessing you have to pick the reward, finalize dates with them, they'll tell you how much it is and that's how much your gift card will be worth.
