Perhaps but it doesn't seem to give you nearly the same bang for the buck

Wow! alot of great info... I am just curious about how many points it takes to stay at Disneyland. There seems to be alot of info about WDW, I guess there are more options there. Would it be benifical if I mostly went to Disneyland?

True maybe but then if I go to somewhere in Europe or Africa my air fares aren't as huge as they would be to the US. And plus there's a great big world beyond Disney Parks.
