Hi Everyone!
Merry Christmas to all of you from all of us at AffordableDisney.Com!
May the joy and peace the Christ Child brought to us 2000 years ago be with you now and forever!
--------------------------------
Donna and I just received a deal from Disney via email that is not available to the general public. It offered the Value Resorts at 30% off, the Moderate Resorts at 35% off, and the Deluxe Resorts and Deluxe Villa Resorts at 40% off on select dates from January to June, 2010! It requires a pin # so I can't share it with you. Here's what Beth says about improving your chances of getting a similar deal:
"Some people may have heard about email promotions. If you sign up for specials at the Disney website, are a Disney Blast subscriber, etc., you might get these from time to time. They are the same as the post card deals, though: recipient-specific and you must have the pin number. (So no, you can't get the number from you friend at work because you're name wouldn't match.)" To increase your chances of getting an email deal, our advice is to sign up for everything that Disney offers, from sweepstakes to the Disney Rewards Visa.
--------------------------------
NOTE: If you want to visit Walt Disney World when there is no deal for the general public, you will need to follow the discount strategies that are revealed in our online book, "Secrets To An Affordable Walt Disney World® Vacation," to make your vacation affordable.

GINGERBREAD EVERYWHERE!
Beth, our travel agent, writes:
"Recently I watched a Food Network challenge where two top-notch bakers were creating giant gingerbread houses. One designed a simple house, but executed the plan beautifully. The other designed a really amazing house, but suffered one calamity after another and barely finished at all. I couldn’t help but think that he could have really used the help of the food artisans at Disney’s Beach Club Resort.
Four weeks ago I was lucky enough to enter the Beach Club lobby when the baking team was about half finished with their annual edible carousel and the giant partial gingerbread house they sell baked goods from. I was amazed to see that the long, rectangular 'bricks' of gingerbread were very flexible. No cracking here! I asked the cast member applying the 'bricks' just how they managed to create cookies that acted like thin strips of rubber. She explained that they make the cookies with honey rather than molasses, and they start months in advance so that the honey-flavored base for the dough could absorb moisture from the air. A week or so prior to needing the cookies, they mix the honey starter with the rest of the ingredients and bake the cookies. The result is a cookie that lies flat, is perfectly formed, and is very flexible.
The Food Network chefs used two different 'glues' for their cookies. One used chocolate and that seemed to work well, although under the hot lights of the cameras and stage, I’m not sure why it worked so well. The struggling team used (or tried to use) royal icing. Each batch was a different consistency, it took too long to set up, and they ended up with chunks dropping off the house. The Beach Club cookies are glued onto the walls with egg whites. I was told that egg whites work perfectly for this – and they sure seemed to! The cast member just had a big bowl of plain old gloopy egg whites that she dipped her big paint brush into and applied to the back of the cookie. Then she stuck it on the wall, maneuvered it a bit into place, and that was that!
As with the Food Network chefs, Disney chefs use royal icing piped between the bricks to look like grout. Interestingly, though, the Disney gang makes up a mixture of watered down chocolate that they brush over the bricks after they’ve dried into place to give the walls more character.
If you ever get the chance to see these food artists at work, don’t miss it. The whole thing was really fascinating, and the result both looks impressive and smells heavenly."
=================================================
