    GotG Cosmic Rewind AP previews

    I got in for 5/18 and received the confirmation email minutes later. Makes me nervous that there are no more Epcot reservations for my pass type on that day.. I will just have to trust the fact that park reservations are not needed. Can't wait!

    Antarctica!

    Having an amazing time! Good news is we had an antigen test today and everyone was negative! When the captain made the announcement during dinner, there was cheering throughout the dining venue and ship. :) Weather has been great, some snow the first day we did landings. Today we had some early...

    Antarctica!

    That’s where we are having dinner.. great outdoor seating, service and food! Lots of restaurant choices here, but this one was recommended by our first AbD representative that we met at the airport and escorted us to the hotel.

    Antarctica!

    While it is highly recommended we stay in the hotel, there are several restaurants with outdoor seating nearby as long as you feel comfortable with that. They are not quarantining you in the hotel. :) Edit: The one bummer is that we are meeting in the lobby at 4 AM on Monday for our transfer to...

    Antarctica!

    Made it to Buenos Aires! Easy transfer to hotel, checked in and had our first swab. Fun fun. Great weather, sunny skies and about 80 degrees F. Latest guest count is 136.

    Antarctica!

    We decided to remain on this trip. Got our Neg PCR results today for our flights on Friday. Tomorrow we will complete our DDJJ and the Anvil uploads on the 29th as requested. I guess it's time to start packing. We are not going to be able to enjoy Buenos Aires as we had hoped, but the whole...

    Antarctica!

    I spoke to AbD today as well. I was given the same information as llachance; pre escape cancelled, but sailing still scheduled. We were told that they are going to try to keep us in a bubble from the moment we arrive into Buenos Aires, asking us to stay in the hotel until our flight out to...

    Antarctica!

    Not on the BA Escape, just added an extra night through AbD prior to the trip start. American did the same to us, placing us on a later flight into MIA which then gave us a layover of about 70 minutes prior to our EZE flight, no thanks! Looking at the flight they gave us within the last week...

    Antarctica!

    We received the second AbD box containing the bag, masks, sanitizer, wipes etc.. very exciting! Yet the CDC just raised Argentina to level 4; do not travel and I had another flight change from American. What a roller coaster of emotions.. if this trip goes smoothly it will be a miracle!

    Antarctica!

    This trip is coming up fast! We scheduled our PCR tests to be taken about 60 hours prior to our flight out, Ponant medical forms submitted online a few days ago, purchased everything we think we will need, and more we probably won't! Nerves are still high that one positive test can make our...

    Antarctica!

    Latest update I received on our 1/30 trip from AbD this evening. Some key points: Sailing as planned with one change, the excursions in Ushuaia have been cancelled and the ship is now sailing on the evening of day 2 instead of day 3. This will add a fifth day in the Antarctic Peninsula with...

    Antarctica!

    We have PIF for the January sailing as well. I just noticed that 3 categories are now available. The news of Argentina opening up for travelers gave me hope that we may actually sail!

    Expedition Everest Closing for Refurb Early 2022

    I was at Animal Kingdom yesterday and rode it several times, it was walk-on every time. Hope the downtime is minimal and doesn't get extended.

    50th Anniversary Limited Release MagicBand

    Activated my pass at Disney Springs yesterday and spent the afternoon at Epcot for the first time since March 2020. Great to be back at the parks! I didn't see any magic bands I liked there, so I was happy to see the 50th Anniversary one available online this morning and ordered one. It did...

    Antarctica!

    Thank you for the ideas. I do wish to go, this is a bucket list vacation for sure. But things aren't looking good and the trip is less than four months away. I will reach back out to ABD later this month and see if I have any other options. I have purchased travel insurance and did look at the...

    Antarctica!

    I am booked on the late January sailing with final payment coming up in early October. I have spoken a couple of times with ABD and I am told it's sailing as planned. This is my first ABD trip and if I read the confirmation email correctly, If I cancel, I forfeit the $5k deposit. Talk about...

    What was your first credit card?

    I had a Star Trek credit card issued by MBNA as my first credit card. Being a huge Star Trek fan I loved that thing.. until MBNA got acquired by Bank of America and they cancelled my card. I've been tempted by the offerings at NASAFCU but don't think I will apply.

    Any idea when we can buy WDW annual passes?

    My wife and I were FL resident passholders until August when we requested refunds. We wanted to re-join the Passholder program so I called in late January and was told we qualified under the Annual Pass Recovery Sale to purchase new ones and that I would receive a call back in about 7 days. 21...
