No joke! A family of four or five could probably stay in an All-Star for a week at those prices. Yikes!

All of the parties sound like lots of fun but they are too expensive for us. Last New Years we went to the Grand Floridian to watch the Magic kingdom fireworks from the beach area. Than we enjoyed the Christmas decorations inside the Resort. Keep up the good work Kenny!
