I am booked for January as a Magical Gathering. The only perk seems to be that when you make your dinner reservations they are supposed to be able to seat everyone together. Also, there are the Magical Gathering experiences, we were going to do the wishes boat ride; however, we decided to do spend the money on the P&PP instead. None of the experiences seem to be worth the price!

We did a magical gathering of 12 people, 4 rooms total. We did not do any of the magical gathering experiences but we did get some nice little extras. (Although, it could have been a coincidence) We got Magical Gathering Pins upon check in. We also got great rooms in both of the resorts we stayed at. Right where we requested. We also got connecting rooms, and we were always seated together, even if the ADR's were made for separate tables. All in all, it can't hurt!

We too booked as a Magical Gathering w/11. We chose none of the special tours or plans. The main reason we booked this way was to get our rooms together. It makes life w/ kids so much easier! I hope we get some nice perks while we are there! Have a great trip!
