8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #6

M..... No really. As long as the 0% promo is on the card and you charge additional purchases ( summercamp) , the 0% will stay intact. Just a word of caution. The purchase must show on a statement to transfer it off. If it is not showing on the statement the 0% will get the transfered balance instead.

Hope this clears it up for you.

Thanks Arlene! I get it now.

Paying for a full summer of day care upfront is just about killing me here. I want the Disney dollars, but I don't want to pay the high interest while I wait for my dep. savings account checks.

Just because we seem to have an expert and a been there done that for everything...I have a Disney Visa question...

How does transfering the balance from Disney Visa to another card effect the 0% interest on the cruise balance?

For instance and for the sake of round numbers -

I have $5,000 in a 0% interest pocket until Sept. (cruise PIF)
I'm about to Visa roughly $100,000 for summer day care (OK not really, but it seems like it!)

Since Disney is my highest interest card, I want to transfer the day care balance to another card while I wait for my Dep Savings Account reimbursement checks to roll in. {Side note: sucks I have to pay for summer camp all at once in May, but can only get my money back that I put into the stupid account one month at a time}

So if I transfer the $100K interest-bearing balance to another card, does my $5K 0% still stay there?

I know this is how it works if you make a regular payment - just not sure about balance transfer.

Arlene? Anyone else?

I can't help you with your question, but what we do (so as to not confuse myself with the 0% interest for Disney vacations) is have 2 Disney Visa accounts. One is in my husband's name with me as an authorized user. The other account is in my name. We use his account for everyday stuff and mine strictly for Disney vacations. That way it keeps the two separate and just makes life easier for me!

That is cool. What's cooler is that my Disney rewards are paying for all my tips and then some on TOAL. We charge everything and never carry a balance, so it's free Mickey Money.

This is why I really want to charge summer camp to my Disney Visa.

We do the same thing. We should have around $1300 in Disney Rewards come cruise-time, also enough to pay tips for our family of 6 with a little left over! Plus, I think we have $400 in obc from our TA.

Hope you had fun today.

I had a really good time today, although I am exhausted tonight! There was about a 90 minute bus ride to and from Stamford, CT, a program on a beautiful 3 masted schooner for three hours while sailing in Long Island Sound, lunch, and then another program on the beach involving tagging live wild horseshoe crabs so that their movements can be studied (apparently one they tagged last summer traveled all the way up and over Long Island and ended up in New York Harbor). We also collected samples of plankton and looked at them under microscopes.

I took lots of pictures, especially of my daughter (although I don't know when I will find the time to load them to the computer!) and the weather was beautiful . . . the time on the schooner was really relaxing.

You can see the schooner and read about some of their programs here:

I've been a victim of decades and decades of singing along with Bostons' "More than a Feelin'"....

​

That's what's on my MP3 today.

So...just to start a topic of conversation...what are everyone's plans for Mother's Day this weekend?

Flowers for mom & OBC and probably tag along to lunch or dinner paid for by my brother.

Celestine asked about the limo tour of LA yesterday

Heading to the planning boards to check this out.

Well, we're now on day 3 of not having access to our onboard reservations.

Well, that just stinks! Hope they work it out for you soon!!!

No, she's not stoned at all. She just has an unexplained craving for a bag of Doritos and a plate of brownie. You can tell from the picture.

Doritos and brownies.... YUM! After having a salad for dinner, that sounds wonderful!!!

It has to do with the times she is eating. Most diabetics are supposedto eat early. I can't do early dinner .Remember it will be throwing most of us off 3 hrs .

Exactly. We weren't sure if they wanted her to do it X amount of hours after dinner or to keep taking it the same time as our time. Verdict was since it was only a 3 hour change at the beginning and then a gradual change back to our time, they want her to keep taking it same time as our time. So one person in our group will continually be three hours early to everything.



Cheers!​

Happy Tuesday to you too! It's a beautiful day today in North NJ. At least looking out the windows it seems beautiful

Mother's Day is going to be unique this year.... my parents recently told me their putting the house on the market and moving to AZ.(hopefully the house won't sell right away) My 90 year old grandmother (maternal) has expressed in the past that they can't move till she's dead...(she can be overly dramatic at times)
So my parents are breaking the news to her on Sunday... this ought to be fun!
Of course my grandmother can go with them or stay in NJ. Hmmm... I'm the only one left in NJ after they leave...

I think lots of wine will be served my way Sunday..... Happy Mother's Day a little early to all the Mom's out there....

They're breaking the news on Mother's Day

ooooowwww my head hurts....

OMG!

I've had these Dorrito and Brownie cravings ALL MY LIFE!

Seriously....

Does this mean it's just a matter of time before I get photographed by the police?

I was thinking the same thing !!

 

[GoofyontheHiSeas]

BTW
Mulan would totally kick all the other Princess's adds.
Followed closely by Pocahontas.
Cinderella is going to need some serious gel inserts for those shoes.
Snow White would never make it to the starting line - she'd be supervising all the woodland creatures cleaning the latrines.
And Ariel seems like much more of a tri gal.

So do you think we could talk the princesses on the ship into competing in a DIS Princess Gladiator contest.

 

[Grandma x3]

After 40 years of cooking..............I am so done with it!!! I don't mind cleaning so maybe we could do a trade off. I am all done with my spring cleaning 5 weeks ago. I do start in January and completely tear apart each room.

I do hear you - although I'd always rather cook than clean - cooking is one of my hobbies!! And - after all these years I do some of it by rote!!

Oh, good idea!

Mulan over Jasmine.
I hate to see Ariel out so soon, but I have to go with Pocahontas.
That Cinderella-Belle bracket is difficult to call. I don't see either of them as a scapper. Either one gets killed by Pocahontas in the next round.

I still say this ends with a Mulan-Pocohontas smackdown. I'd give it to the warrior. Mulan.

Signed up on the Piratezone. However, I can't check that at work as it's been "banned" for some reason as a "game". Anyway, I'll try to check it at night but won't be able to tomorrow. When will we know if we're on the tour or not?

I am hoping to get all the info this week. So we will know before the DCL bookings

 

[PBader]

You all will have to forgive me. I don't have time to catch up. Read the page I left off at and skipped to the end. Did I miss anything IMPORTANT--or just a lot of fun

You all have a great night and a happy hump day

Thanks! Now we just need to hear back from the PV Los Veranos Zipline tour company.

 

[tom31b]

Yes, as I recall there are over 60 of us staying at HOJO's. We'll be arriving on the 12th. The best place for info on pre-cruise meets are the piratezone boards. The pre-cruise meet can info can be found at:

http://rgpweb.com/dcl/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=7&sid=5bed3abfb0a37ef5104ec0fcf756a5a3

You can find some pre-trip meets at DL for Fantasmic, etc.

There's a bus taking a bunch of DISer's to the port. As I recall, SmeeCananda (Wendy) is organizing it:

Chris,

Try the http://www.thepiratezone.us address for the boards, from the links you posted, it looks like you have the underlying site bookmarked and the address may be throwing your internet security off....

Anyone who is interested, can't hurt to ask about the 12 noon running of the zip lines, there may be some openings there

Haven't booked mine yet, but will probably have a vet-tech stop by in the while I'm away. Peepers has chronic renal faliure but it's been two years since she was diagnosed and is doing great. Also thinking of having a neighbor just stop by in the afternoon/evening to try to save on vet-tech visits. However, even with having a vet-tech visit, it's still about the same as boarding my cat so she'll stay home. She'll have a hard enough time for the nearly three weeks, so the less stress, the better.

Jennifer, your cat reminds me of our Reebok. She was also a black and white tuxedo. That's great that she is doing so well with renal failure. Our neighbors have offered to loan us their kids to play with our cats while we are gone. We'll also get a pet sitter to make daily visits as well.
