[brack]

again but I'll bet no

But I did get a top!

 

[87Heel]

Nope, we are an A.C. Neilson family. Everything I buy is scanned & then I transmit it to them once a month.

Does that cut down on the impulse buying of 2 dozen donuts... someone knows!!

 

[lbgraves]

That is good to know, Kim. It's not too bad, honestly. I am saving points to get the family the Scene it Disney game.

 

[lillygator]

Ok -- I got through the booklet....am debating on getting DH the tux with shoes...one less thing for me to pack and worry about. I also went through last years stuff...ahhh the memories!

No...then we don't buy donuts. No duncan donuts nearby. I can't stand KKs. I do pick up the mini donuts for the kids at the bread outlet store sometimes.

Here is their site. https://www.homescan.com/homescan/US/EN/Login.htm

They track what America buys basically. Similar to the TV Neilson group tracking what you watch. They also send out surveys on your opinion about new products.

Thanks guys! I feel those cyber calories heading straight for my hips!

 

[Jhalkias]

Yes Marielle - we've been watching BWI. That's closer for us. Will you try to remember to PM me when you see the rates get posted for the return. I never thought about buying them separately. I figured I'd wait for the return rates to come out and get them. I check every few days.


Thanks!

For all you SW Airlines flyers - I just read about this today . . . you might want to download this Ap - Mac or Windows, called "Ding" it brings specials right to your desktop and alerts you without having to constantly manually check.

Unfortunately, no SW for us . . .

Congratulations Kim on 9600!

 

[brack]

Goodnight! It's an early and long day tomorrow.

 

[Jhalkias]

Ok, I have a question...

We're arriving in Florida on thursday morning before the cruise, flying in on a red eye. So I figure we'll be too tired to do much that day. Friday we want to do Disney World. DD is dying to see AK, I'm dying to see MK. Do you think we could do both in one day? I know we won't be able to ride much. I believe there are only about 2-3 things DD and DS want to ride at AK and I am happy as long as I get to ride the POTC and Haunted Mansion. So is it possible? This is our first trip to WDW.

You might want to consider resting early on Thursday, and doing MVMCP on Thursday night - 7-midnight. Since you will be still used to your time zone may not be too bad for you. Then do AK on Friday. AK does close earlier than the other parks, but I don't think I would try to do two in one day - you might feel shortchanged at both on your first day in WDW.

I've had this running for a few weeks now... working well (but I got the deal from an email alert--maybe the Ding will get it even lower).

 

[lbgraves]

My mistake...I have to transmit once a week...not once a month.

 

[pjpoohbear]

Congrats Kim!

[lillygator]

Personally being your first time I would think it would be hard to do both and not feel cheated somewhat. I think doing the party is a great idea...we are still tossing that around...it's kind of tradition now but I asked Samantha if she would rather go to DTD and BBB to get her hair done the night before the cruise or the party and she said BBB!! But then no one else had a vote yet!

I am so wishing it were the 'ber months already!

 

[Jhalkias]

Did you buy that online after you booked the cruise or with the cruise? And do you know what the romantic gift amenity is? (Please do not say it is a plastic banana)

Kim

 

[lbgraves]

you might feel shortchanged at both on your first day in WDW.

That's what I was trying to say. I would hate for you to get a bad impression from your first trip to WDW...and possibly put a bad spin on the cruise.
