    Again here to say hello and to announce Free Dining 2016

    Our dates are pretty flexible but we would like to go to the Food & Wine Festival. We can't go until the end of October so if the FD dates are as expected we would miss out on this deal. If we book a few days room only before the 15th of November then a package for the remainder of our stay...

    Jetstar service

    Thanks for the comments. We will be flying in October so will report back re the service. I'm not expecting much, but for $707.00 pp including all the extras (meals, luggage and entertainment) it was too good to pass up. We will be staying at Aulani for three nights so looking forward to it.

    Jetstar service

    I've just purchased flights to Honolulu from Brisbane with Jetstar and now I'm questioning my sanity in doing so. I can't find anything but bad reviews. Anyone flown with them on this route? I know it is more likely for complaints rather than favourable reviews to be posted but it would be good...

    Finally! Qantas sale fares

    It's very tempting. I'm thinking of doing a solo trip to visit my mum Sept 14 or thereabouts departure. I've only just returned from six weeks incuding wdw & dlr so just trying to justify the expense so soon after our latest trip.

    September 2014 Trip and Moving to Brisbane

    I live on the south side (Redlands) but work on the north side (Ferny Grove) area. I prefer the climate in the Redlands. I find the North side freezing in winter and way too hot in summer. We moved down from Cairns in 2008 and although it was a huge move we love it here.

    Online Checkin

    I'm still having the same problem. Everything saved except the pins so we'll see what happens down the track. Not going to worry about it atm as there is still lots of time.

    Trouble with Online Check In

    My online check in popped up at 60 days which was five days ago. I tried several times each time getting through to the final step then got the error message. I gave up but have just gone back to try again and the online check in has changed to modify check in so I'm guessing It has been done...

    Qantas Cash

    The way I understand this is that if you purchase something say in USD but only have funds available in your AUD wallet they will charge you to convert it. As long as you have sufficient funds in the wallet of the currency you are purchasing in then no fee is charged. As I said this is how...

    Qantas Cash

    What I liked about the Qantas card over the Virgin card was that I was able to load directly to the currency I wanted and lock in my exchange rate without having to first transfer via BPAY and then convert. I purchased the amount I wanted in USD and was given the AUD amount with a payment...

    Holiday planning DVD

    I ordered one about 3 months ago and another about a month ago but nothing has arrived. I'm not expecting much anyway, as the last one I got in 2010 was the same as the one I got in 2007.

    Qantas Cash

    I have both Qantas & Virgin and have activated each one. From my experience the Qantas had better exchange rates and no load fees. It was also quicker to make the funds available. I was worried that the card wouldn't arrive in time so put some cash on the Virgin card then my Qantas card...

    Walmart

    The Target in Anaheim is pretty ordinary. I haven't been to a Walmart in Anaheim but have been to a number elsewhere. They are much like a Big W but with lots more especially the Super Stores.

    fast pass + & Magic Band questions

    I've already done ADR's both as a complete group and also separate ones for each party so I know how that works. It's just all the conflicting info regarding the booking of fast passes that had me confused. Some say you have to book all the same others that you don't and then there are the...

    fast pass + & Magic Band questions

    I'm still 72 days out so realise I won't be able to make any fast pass bookings for at least another 12 days. Each time I log in I get a window showing earlier dates to my arrival date but a message quickly flashes up saying at least one guest's reservation must fall within these days to book...

    fast pass + & Magic Band questions

    I did read that, but wasn't quite sure... It makes sense but then I read that everyone would have to have the same fast pass selection (or at least I think I read that) Too much info in my head at the moment...:) If we all had to have the same choices that would be inconvenient since my party...

    fast pass + & Magic Band questions

    So I'm still confused over the whole FP+ and Magical Bands so I guess I will just have to wait until I'm closer to my arrival date and see if anything magically appears in MDE. (I arrive Dec 9th) In anticipation that it will magically appear I'm wondering if anyone can answer a question. My...
