    Wonka: The Best Movie Ever?

    Recently watched Wonka on a plane flying home from MCO. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Of course, I had a few gin & tonics in the lounge before takeoff. I am a big Timothee Chalamet fan. We saw Dune 2 at the DS AMC while we were down there also.

    Arriving late for cosmic rewind

    I think it can still be hard to get an early BG. I tried at 7AM last week, got group 88, which wasn't called until 3:00. We had gone back to our resort for a break and returned around 5, had to wait in line 45 minutes to ride. I also purchased ILL for it because it is such a great ride, and that...

    May the Fourth Be With You -- Always

    Growing up in Ohio, May 4th has another meaning. Really hoping history is not repeated with the new crop of campus protests.

    Don't bring ammunition to Turks & Caicos

    I wish the US govt would throw people in jail who try to take loaded guns through security at airports (or even unloaded guns for that matter). Penalties there are not harsh enough to deter more idiots or criminals. from tsa.gov - During 2023, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)...

    Premier hotel, change # of guests in room

    I would just wait and add the extra guest at checkin if they come. In the past when I have done that it hasn't changed the base room rate, just added the extra adult fee. (And one time the desk agent waived the extra fee)

    2 Bedroom with Kitchen Accomidations

    Just wanted to say thanks to your recommendation and a few others on here, we just got back from a relaxing 5 night stay at Sabal Palms. It was just DH and I, we would definitely go back there, possibly with more family.

    Grand Floridian question

    Check the confirmed reservations on dvc rental store site for GF villas. I was able to pick one up last Sept for a more reasonable rate (had always wanted to stay there).

    Billy Strings

    I enjoy his style of music. I am not a fan of modern country music, but do like good bluegrass. He sold out several nights at a smaller venue in Washington DC a year and a half ago.

    The 150th Running of the Kentucky Derby

    Over the years I have turned anti-horse racing, especially 3 year olds. I know there is a lot of tradition around it, but it needs to change. It is animal abuse. My in-laws were married in Indiana on derby day in 1947. MIL's father had a lot of family in Louisville, and they were not pleased...

    Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

    I placed 2 orders, one at 8 AM and one at noon. I got 2 GC emails 7 hours apart, one at 12:46 and one at 7:27, but they both contain the same 2 gift cards. They have different order numbers. Never mind, I had to go at it a different way to get the second order, looking it up by order # instead...

    Official APH Rate Info for Universal Loews Hotel Properties

    Wow, I had Aventura Sept 27 - Oct 1 for average of $190/nt SMSM, just got AP rates either 181 Aventura or CBBR for 162. Went for CBBR. Would prefer Aventura, the extra AP cost was for the skyline room. Will keep checking for a std room.

    Sometimes polite complaining works!

    Rented a compact with Alamo through Costco. When we arrived (skip the counter) the guy steered us to a line of cars, all Mitsubishi Mirages. Seriously the crappiest rental I have ever had, must have been an economy. Another weird thing is that is that it had a Florida plate on the back, and a...

    I love credit cards so much! v6.0 - 2023 (see first page for add'l details)

    I think the CSR PYB categories for wholesale clubs specifically exclude gas. Not sure about Freedom. It’s been a while since I tried it. A workaround is you can buy a Costco shop card and use that to pay for gas.

    I love credit cards so much! v6.0 - 2023 (see first page for add'l details)

    Did they offer no AF for the first year also? DH just got 150 back and no AF, but he downgraded a year ago. I just downgraded mine, so we upgraded his.

    I love credit cards so much! v6.0 - 2023 (see first page for add'l details)

    Not the person you asked, but pretty sure you always have to call Chase to SM because they have to read you some terms. It’s just called Chase Freedom. ( there is also a freedom unlimited and a freedom flex, but you don’t want those!) no idea if it is still available though.

    I love credit cards so much! v6.0 - 2023 (see first page for add'l details)

    Ooh, didn’t know that! Ordered 2 this morning, will try some more. Was just able to add 2 more. Yay. Checked out of our resort in Orlando this morning, hanging by the pool. Really enjoyed our stay at Marriott Sabal Palms, used my 3 50,000 FNC plus a 35,000 FNC and one night at 36,000 points...

    Feedback on Safari opening time?

    Generally the plan should work fine. We rode safari this morning and there were some issues, one of the trucks ahead of us broke down and we sat in our truck on the Savannah for at least 20 minutes until a tow truck came to get it out of there! Got a great view of the zebras and giraffes, but I...
