And these are the {Resort} Changes of our Lives ~In Memory of JungleCruiser <3

[pas130]

Mine is next month, but I plan on skipping it. I refuse to get older.

I've tried skipping mine for at least 9 years....but the kids get me cake...so I celebrate

Sorry hubs sugar is wacky Surprised they didn't take it down with IVF and a wee bit of Insulin...then oral hypoglycemics....at least he has a wonderful Nurse Wifey

Jeanette: I sometimes lock myself in the bathroom!

DS4 had a meltdown at the glasses store..after the battle to get him buckled in the SUV...I blasted Motley Crue until he promised to stop screaming It worked..but not my finest mommy moment Too bad he won't wear those specs...

I know! Now she's got me checking Orbitz. I'm not changing though, I'm just checking out my options...

Jeanette – I don’t like real life at all I have been to the grocery store and BJ’s this morning, but haven’t started the laundry yet. So I am lost, have you changed to YC or are you still at GF
Melissa

LOVED the pics!! Thanks Melissa

As of last night we are YC CL

I trust all of my fellow indecisive dis-ers to make this decision since I have never stayed in any of these resorts and honestly can't say I prefer one to any other. I'd be happy to stay at any of these resorts so give me your honest opinion. It's in your hands now.

Pop preferred....save the extra $$$ for cab fare if that tootsie starts aching!!! I am biases as my BFF is the "Queen of Pop" But I just can't love the mods...that's just me. Second choice would be WL

Thank you so much to everyone for the birthday wishes!!! You are all such a special group of ladies and I'm so happy to have you all in my life.

We love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Bandits mommy Welcome to our little home! I am usually more active here, but work life -- as my RCer Friends will tell you has kept me away from my favourite hangout hopefully in the new yr. that will change and I can be a more-contributing member of this thread as I enjoy chatting and sharing day to day life with you all!

Miss you Marie

Jeez I am so easily swayed!! Maybe May could end up CR...who knows!! MK is the one park we will be going to twice...

I finally just heard from hubby. He was wined and dined on Rodeo Drive all day, oh poor baby For the first time he had relief in his voice so I am hoping this buyout is for the best!!!

Sent from my iPhone using DISBoards

Poor thing

I hope it is as well.

I'll have to catch up on more tomorrow, but we have our trip figured out!!

I'll post more later when it's not almost 1:20 AM.

Thinking of our Sarah...and hoping Candace gets her raise

padawans - I hope your DH can get his sugar levels under control soon. Good luck with the FMLA stuff. He's lucky to have you around to help him

Mousemommy - I hope you are getting GREAT news today!

babyberger - Your DH's trip sounds promising.I hope things works out quickly and favorably.

pas - YC CL!

The Disney hotels are back on Orbitz. Must have been related to the booking shut down Anyway, I know what I will be doing during DD's nap

Quick note ..... if anyone is still looking for an American Girl Doll the Today show has a large discount on their steals and deals section. I don't know which dolls but I thought I heard them say 60%.

 

[babyberger]

i_heart - okay I can use the Orbitz promo code on my Feb CR res, and do better than the AP rate. Now have you used Fat Wallet before, I know of it, but never used it. Will I really get 7.5% back on the room rate, I am guessing it exculdes the taxes and fee portions. Have you done it before?

I had never used it myself before but DH does sometimes. I got an email 2 days after I booked from fat wallet that says my cash back account will be credited with the cash back on 2/25. The amount is for for 7.5% before taxes. Make sure you click through fat wallet and get the pop up that says you will receive cash back for shopping at Orbitz.

I cannot really vouch for any of the process though as this is my first time trying it. So far everything has worked well.

They wouldnt let me into ed with the kids. They gave him fluids no insulin. Never rechecked bs before he left .They forgot to give us a script for strips, but charged us 500 dollars. Called nurse manager to complain. Not happy with pcp for not treating him I really I didnt thi.k he needed to go to ed in the first place. Pcp was completely freaked out by his bs and wouldnt do anything. I guess he has to cover his behind. Spent a lot of money for something could have been treated by pcp.

You just sign up for a free account and click through them before shopping online. They have cash back for a lot of different places.

I should mention, although I got notice about my cash back from Orbitz, I have yet to recieve anything about my hotels.com ressie that I booked way before the Orbitz one.

I don't know if the different vendors submit at different times or something. The email I did get said Orbitz contacted them to give them the cash back info so I'm guessing hotels.com has not yet done that.

 

[babyberger]

iheart - I guess its worth a try, I am still trying to decide if I want to change it to an Orbitz booking. Do you remember if the hotel charge showed up on your statement from Orbitz or Disney? I am thinking I remember a few years ago it coming up as Orbitz.

Another question .... when you book thru Orbitz how do you do your ME?

It comes up as Orbtiz.

I admit to being very skeptical of booking non direct myself. It feels scary. Both of my ressies pull up when I enter them on mydisneyreservation.com so I feel pretty confident that they are ok, but still...

Another question .... when you book thru Orbitz how do you do your ME?

It came up right on my final booking page to add ME. Once booked, it then gives you a link to go straight to the ME site to fill out your info to finalize the ME reservation. I haven't received my packet yet, but I got a confirmation email from ME that I had a reservation.

 

[babyberger]

Yeah I am definitely skeptical about booking through Orbitz, I always have a problem when I book through a third party.

If I book thorugh Orbitz I save about $65 total, which is on the cusp of being worth the worry. But if FatWallet comes through that would be another $80 or so.

My other issue is that I had already bought Dis GC's to pay for the room, which I could use for food and then whatever is left over save for whenever our next trip will be. So do I feel like coming out of pocket for another $1200 right now, especially with Hanukkah starting this weekend and DH's job still iffy.

Ugh, no sleep and a head cold are not good for these kinds of decisions

I don't know that I'd put the money out if you already have GCs. Hope you feel better soon

 

[pas130]

Me either...you have to pay in full with Orbitz right???

They wouldnt let me into ed with the kids. They gave him fluids no insulin. Never rechecked bs before he left .They forgot to give us a script for strips, but charged us 500 dollars. Called nurse manager to complain. Not happy with pcp for not treating him I really I didnt thi.k he needed to go to ed in the first place. Pcp was completely freaked out by his bs and wouldnt do anything. I guess he has to cover his behind. Spent a lot of money for something could have been treated by pcp.

Ugh! Agreed PCP could've handled it..some outpt labs...etc...And to let him go without a recheck I have no comment.... Yes I do..that all stinks

Sleep on it Melissa!!!!

Oh, and I booked our Beach visit the week before YC...Anna Maria Island, looks beautiful, we've never been there...now I am wondering ...drop CL (it would pay for Beach.....)

 

[Grumpy Grandma]

I don't know that I'd put the money out if you already have GCs. Hope you feel better soon

Did your DH actually get the % rebate. I noticed that it says up to 7.5%. I was also reading some reviews that stated the amount was a lot less ... of course they were all on airfare not hotels .... complaints were about Orbitz not Fat Wallet.

He's never done cash back for a hotel just purchases from online stores, but he's always gotten what he was supposed to.

Airfare is not a 7.5% category, so whoever booked that probably didn't read the fine print. Here's what I copied from Fat Wallet about Orbitz.

Cash Back Amount
$3.50 Cash Back available on Airfare
$4.00 Cash Back available on Car Rentals
3.30% Cash Back available on Retail Hotels (those paid for upon arrival at the hotel)
7.50% Cash Back available on Merchant Hotels (those paid for before arriving at the hotel)
4.00% Cash Back available on Packages
5.00% Cash Back available on Activities
$30.00 Cash Back available on Cruises



My cash back email shows the right amounts and percentages.
