My family just went for 5 nights over the first weekend the Christmas stuff was open a couple weeks ago.

I am not sure I think the Christmas activities were worth it money-wise at all. Everything is very expensive for what you get and not that amazing. (My almost 2-year old would challenge the fact that any amount of money would make her unlimited rides the one day on the carousel worth it however. )

The resort itself was very nice everywhere though and felt really festive.

We used SNAs which they approved right away (booked 4 or 5 nights before arrival) and it was a giant 900+ sqft suite. (I asked about further upgrades to the presidential suites and they offered me that for $500/night on top of my 140,000 points and SNAs. Supposedly they normally go for $5000/night?? They have their own gym room in them. But that wasn't in the cards for this trip.)

We also purchased a night across the street at the Great Wolf Lodge (was cheaper to buy the night and get two days at the water park than buy a single day at the water park...) and we felt that was a much better value for the money for an activity.

Oh and I am Titanium Elite and got literally nothing but a $10 food cert which I forgot to use.
