    Official inaugural Tower of Terror 10 miler thread. September 29, 2012

    I just looked at the final race instructions and I am confused. AM i reading the instructions correctly that even if we are at Hollywood Studios on Saturday during the day, we have to somehow get to WWoS to take a bus back to Hollywood Studios? Also, what about after the race? Will there...

    Need a bib for the Tower of Terror 10 Miler! PayPal in exchange for your extra bib!

    Jessica - Sorry that you are having health problems. My understanding of the transfer is that it works unofficially--that Disney does not do official transfers and so whoever you transferred your bib to would run as you. You would give that person the waiver forms and they would pick up...

    Need a bib for the Tower of Terror 10 Miler! PayPal in exchange for your extra bib!

    I dropped the ball on this one, so if anyone has a bib that you are not going to use, I will happily send you money through PayPal (or any other means that works for you).

    Canceling Southwest card?

    I have only used the Southwest card for Southwest purchases (double points). For our other purchases, I have been using whichever card has a 5% back promotion. It is my intuition that we come out ahead this way, but I probably should do the math--we charge a lot (but pay it off every month).

    Canceling Southwest card?

    Lisa--Thank you! This is the first time the card has been renewed, and if I knew about anniversary points when I signed up, I definitely had forgotten about them by now. But I just checked the account, and you are correct: 6,000 bonus points. So I guess it does make sense to keep the card...

    Canceling Southwest card?

    I signed up for the Southwest credit card last year, and got the 50,000 points. I just got billed $99 for the annual renewal fee and am thinking I should cancel the card. I buy 4 - 6 tickets a year on SW, and am thinking that the benefits at this point are not worth the cost. I assume...

    Please say a prayer....dog medication warning

    Hugs and prayers. We had a scare with our lab a few years ago--she managed to get an unopened pack of sugar-free gum off of the kitchen counter. By the time I found her, she had chewed up about half of the pack. Took her to the vet, and she had elevated levels of whatever it is that reveals...

    eBay experts: Question about timing of auctions

    I have not listed anything on eBay in probably three years, but back when I did use eBay a lot, I remember that Sunday evening was thougth to be the best time to both start and end an auction, based on data from somewhere about when people were online or when people were likely to bid or some...

    Kohl's Clearance 60-80% off

    I have started to become aggravated with Kohls. Their "regular" price is 30% - 50% off, which with a 30% off coupon is typically less than the clearance price. It seems to me the "clearance" thing is a scam.

    60 points at SSR: Direct or resale?

    This is starting to seem crazily like a good idea . . . I am wondering, if I did purchase 60 points at SSR, would it make more sense to buy from Disney at $110 per point or resale at something like $68 per point. I understand closing costs will be less buying direct from Disney, but lower...

    Texas: Buy a $100 Disney Gift Card, get a $15 H-E-B gift card coupon

    Thanks to everyone who posted about this! SIL and I trekked up to Round Rock from San Antonio, and a little more than four hours later we each have 16 $100 Disney gift cards. I think (someone good at math correct me if I am wrong) we saved $240 on the cards, plus we both have the Chase card...

    Glad that you were able to find a store with this offer . . . Would you mind posting the Corporate number of the store? My SIL and I are thinking we might take a road trip after dinner, and would like to be able to head straight to the right store!

    Best Use-Year for Winter (Dec/Jan/Feb) at WDW?

    I htink I understand that you should pick a use-year that is a few months before the time that you plan to actually be at WDW. Is that close to correct? So if my plan is the be at WDW Dec/Jan/Feb, would the best use-year be something like October?

    Point reallocation?

    Thanks--So the point chart in subsequent years will be the same as the point chart for 2012, except for some reallocations?

    Point reallocation?

    I'm sorry--I have looked for an explanation for this but I am confused about the point charts. Some posts refer to point reallocations and others to point increases--can someone explain, does Disney recompute the point charts every year?

    A small number of points to get started?

    Thanks. We have been to WDW every other Christmas for about 10 years, but with a family of 6 and traveling during the peak season, DVC didn't make sense--it would take more points than we can afford, and I don't want that much money committed to Disney as the kids are getting older. BUT my...

    A small number of points to get started?

    I am thinking about buying a small number of points to see if DVC would really work for us. If I bought somewhere between 25 and 60 pints, could I use them for one trip every couple of years? Also, last time I thought this through, I think the smallest number of points you could buy directly...
