    Disney Visa Rewards - "Pay Yourself Back" option

    I didn’t even have to wait for the statement, just for the charges to post. Even my charges from last year were available for applying the credit, so if she had any eligible charges in the past year, she might be able to apply it tonight.

    26 years ago....addon posts, 12, 15, 22, 27, 31

    I was in the College Program in spring 1998 and picked up extra hours to work AK for opening week. The mumu I had to wear was awful but the memories of those days are fantastic!

    Mid Manhattan hotel recommendations

    We like Luma because it has decent sized rooms with two king beds and is right by the Whole Foods.

    What is the latest on popcorn buckets?

    My DD bought a Figmet popcorn bucket at EPCOT. Has anyone refilled a popcorn bucket on the ship that was purchased in the parks? Otherwise, she will bring the one that she bought on the Fantasy last year. Thank you!

    Disney Visa Rewards - "Pay Yourself Back" option

    Yes! I just did this with our trip to WDW. The charge needs to post and then it is eligible. It shows up as a statement credit and it took two days to appear for mine.

    Karaoke on Fantasy

    We will be sailing on the Fantasy. Our family would like to know whether they still do karaoke. If yes, do they use an online catalog of songs or something else? My DDs would like to plan ahead. Thank you!

    Student Council slogan?

    DD11 wants to run for publicity director of student council. Catholic school. She needs a catchphrase/slogan. Apparently I don’t know what is “in” with the kids right now, as she doesn’t like my ideas. Help!

    Dining Reservation Party Size Issue

    I am looking for a reservation at Napa Rose. If I put in 4 people (what we will have), it tells me there are no reservations available. If I put in 5 people, there are reservations available every 30 minutes starting at 6:30. I don’t want to lie by making a reservation for more people than...

    Fairmont Hotel Alaska Cruise

    We stayed there for our Alaska cruise years ago and had a good view of the harbor. One of my favorite memories (and videos and pictures) of the cruise was my two girls with noses pressed up to the window watching Mickey’s boat…oh the anticipation! I have a faint memory that you can also see it...

    Colorado Springs, CO

    Paint mines were a fun adventure nearby. Further away are the Sand Dunes and well worth the drive.

    Exploding sunroof on Hyundai Sante Fe

    Oh yes, unfortunately! My DD17 is driving my old 2017 Hyundai Sante Fe and we just finished the three oil consumption tests (it failed all three) and are now on the detergent portion (not exactly sure what that is), but the dealer says a new engine is in her future…that one has 78,000 miles on...

    Exploding sunroof on Hyundai Sante Fe

    My panoramic sunroof on my 2022 Hyundai Sante Fe spontaneously exploded today while driving down a county highway…the glass shattered and fell in (tempered glass failed completely resulting in a 18” x 20” hole and glass fell onto the retractable fabric sunroof cover, so not into the car itself)...

    We've done 7 DCL cruises. On our first NCL cruise now and it's beyond horrible!

    We did the same Alaskan NCL cruise as OP on the Bliss in summer 2019. It was horrible. We are DCL fans, but we also had a couple we were sailing with who had never cruises before, and they too vowed never NCL again. The housekeeping was almost nonexistent, the meal service took forever and...

    Costa Rica ABD gluten free?

    We are thinking about doing the Costa Rica ABD trip in 2024. DD has celiac and I am always on high alert when someone else is preparing her food. I would love to hear from someone who has done this trip as strictly gluten free, either themselves or a family member. We did the Southern...

    Anyone Ever Ship any Coffee Home?

    I just received my Greenwell Farms coffee by FedEx today! They have free shipping about 4 times per year. The coffee isn’t cheap, but it is great. Plus we have such good memories of being there (free avocados, stone oven bread making, and the iguana in the tree)!

    Has anyone gifted a grandchild with money for college (via 529)?

    We set up our kids’ 529 accounts at our local credit union. I did a quick internet search and it looks like some credit unions in TX advertise them as available through a local branch. We do not live in TX, so I cannot speak to the value of a state specific one, but I believe it may be related...

    Cardboard Disney Gift Cards

    I just bought some Disney gift cards from Sam’s (3x$25). They were in 100th packaging. The cards are made of cardboard, not plastic. I tried to peel the sticker off instead of scratching it (that works on the plastic ones) but fragments of the account numbers pealed off too. We were able to...
