Thank you. DH and I now have reservations at Palo's 7:30 pm Castaway Cay Day!!

Just curious about this as I have always paid with my Visa debit cards and never had a problem. Do they not accept Visa credit cards?

Also, here is a pic of our local Sam's club display for reference. Each Sam's may have a different display but this should help as to what to look for:

SAM's Clubs still do not accept VISA as a credit card. I can use my VISA at my SAM's Club, but I have to use it like a debit card and enter a PIN Number. Some have suggested this for using your Disney VISA is go to Walmart and purchase a Walmart Gift Card using your Disney VISA and then use that gift card at SAM's club to purchase the DISNEY Gift Cards and then you get your Disney Visa Reward points.

Okay, just listened to this week's show and all I have to say is.......


I AM SO FREAKIN EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[tlcoke]

Glad everyone was able to take advantage of our freed up Palo reservations.

When I first saw this display I asked the Club Assistant Mgr if the $10 bonus card was good at Disney World. They told me yes, but I found out later it wasn't. It was only good in the Disney Store. Glad I didn't buy them right away.

I wonder if the $10 bonus card is good at the World of Disney. I doubt it.

Most of the posts I have seen elsewhere is that it will not be good at World of Disney. They are good for use at Disney Store locations or online at disneystore.com. There is a Disney Store at the Florida Mall.

There are Palo Brunch openings available and some new dinner times open, if you are looking for either for our cruise.

Thank you. DH and I now have reservations at Palo's 7:30 pm Castaway Cay Day!!

Excellent news. I was even on the DCL site this afternoon and never thought to check Palo. Luckily I got back in and was able to change my Tuesday 9pm reservation to 7pm. Looks like we'll be getting to the Pirate Party after all

See you there THeresa

If you don't mind a tag-a-long... retty please with sugar on top:

We will be going on the 16th...
Would love for you to join us.

They have posted on the DVC website they accidentally posted last year's info, and have since retracted that posting. Speculation on the board is that area was overly crowded, so the convention center would allow more people access and they don't have to worry about weather issues.

OK, that makes sense. I didn't get there last year, but friends of ours did and they said it was crazy-crowded. So this will be an improvement.
Too bad we are not doing MMCP that night though. We are headed to Yachtsman for dinner with our son (at least we hope he gets the time off...)

I am thrilled to be able to go to some non-DISboards meet-ups prior to the cruise!

Inner Mouse / Disney Driven Life Meet-up - Sunday, December 5 · 2:00pm - 4:00pm at the Animal Kingdom Lodge ~ Sunset Lounge

WDW Radio Meet of the Month and 200th Show Celebration - Sunday, December 5 · 3:00pm - 5:00pm at Ariel's at Disney's Beach Club Resort

AllEars - Thursday, December 9 · 9:00am - 10:30am at the Electric Umbrella in Epcot

Who else can join me at these meets?

I would LOVE to be able to go to a few (if not all) of these. Especially Lou's meet at Ariel's. Sadly, we do not arrive until the 10th.

A bunch! The Entourage got approved for the private Palo dining room - which I didn't even know EXISTED last year!!! Looks like the wedding reception dinner is a private affair! What more could a girl ask for...

How does one become part of an Entourage?

 

[Becx N Gav]

Happy Thursday Everyone!!

Three weeks from now, I will be waiting for all my friends to start arriving at WDW (and probably doing my first round of vacation whilst I wait for them).


I leave in 16 days for WDW and have 9.5 days of work left in 2010.

 

[TXYankee]

Happy Thursday!

 

[georgemoe]

Checking in to say hi.

No time to post like I used to but just wanted to say can't wait to see you all in a few weeks.

Sniff sniff. I smell vanilla.

I want to thank everyone for posting what they will be doing when, because now as I am driving from Virginia to Florida in 16 days, I will be thinking.... Oh so and so is here and so and so is doing this.

It will be rather fun to think of people I haven't met yet doing certain things. At least it will help the drive go by faster.

Just 24 days...
