Question for those that charge everything on Disney Visa, then pay it off right away???

How long should I wait between charging and making the payment? Does it matter? I don't want to lose out on my rewards if I make a payment too soon.
 
Proposal for booking night

I know we were talking about being in the chat room and some people were going to call each other.

Is anyone interested in a conference call? I have access to a conference bridge through work. It's technically for work purposes, but what are they going to do, let me go? :rotfl: They've already done that! Besides I used it during the AWE Red Carpet (for about 6 hours) and never heard anything about it.

If there's enough interest, I'll PM everyone the info.
 
There's a bunch Mike. Julie, Todd, Chris, Paula to name a few. I'm booked but there's no way I can swing it. I'll be canceling later today.

I'm sorry to hear that you'll have to cancel the 5 day, Monica. :sad1:
 
good morning everyone! hope you all have a great weekend. we're gonna hopefully take the winter cover off the pool at some point this weekend....but who knows! things are going too fast here, and the weekend will be over before i know it. guess that means i should get off this computer and get things done! have a great day!! talk with you all tomorrow!
 


OK, here you go:

Sour grapes, Andrew, you know you would like to stay on the ship with us for the 5 night!​

Thank you for Arthur Pirate for my 2,500 post, No not sour grapes, after to panama crossings and the bashing she will get, there, she will be due her 10 year service! They have even allowed an extra week this time for her.
:cool1:
I'm sure Andrew's reply will be coming very shortly! :)

I wonder how many of us are staying on board for the extra five nights?

I was going to go to Disney for the week when we got back. But, running a price comparison on lodging, food, entertainment, et cetera, I decided it was cheaper (and certainly very appealing) to remain on board.

I'm hoping that I will be in the same room for the Repo as well as for the 5 day. I have asked for that but right now I am one of the many who are GTY for the repo cruise. I'm still waiting to find out my room assignment. (On the 5 day I am in 6090.)

Looking forward to both segments!

You would have thought DCL would now know who is where and the only reason they are not assigning, is some, ''might'' be in for an upgrade, but they will not publish that in advance, as you or someone else in your Cat, might contact them to pay for an upgrade and they might swap that around.

As they are advertising a lot of vacancies this week there isn't any worry, that GTY's will not be assigned, its just when, you might see lower Cats being assigned within the news few weeks now, but higher Cats might hold out to about 30 days.
 
I cannot seem to get anything done this morning. The church is set up for First Communion in an hour and a half and I am sitting in my office and should be working on next week's column for the bulletin.

Instead, I find myself minimizing the Publisher window and pulling up IE and going to DISboards.

I need to fortify myself and get to work on this computer.

OR, maybe a game or two of solitaire! :lmao:

quick question....
we've never booked excursions before we've boarded. actually the only excursion that has ever been booked was for dh to parasail at CC (which ended up being canceled due to weather).
anyways, when booking tomorrow nite, do you reserve a time? if it says it meets at 8:45 or 9:45, do you pick that tomorrow nite too? or will they place us wherever there is room?
 
Could someone confirm when we can try for Palo brunch? Does anyone know if they had brunch yesterday going through PC? Thanks :)

As of right now, they're showing Palo brunch ressies for all of the sea days. They don't show anything for the Panama Canal Day. If you really want that day, I would check every so often to see if they add it, based on how it went over on the WB cruise. If not, ask when we board in 3 months from today!

If you're booking a table for 1-2 people, you can choose from 10:30, 11:00, and 11:30 AM. As of now, they all have availability.

If you're booking a table for 3-4 people, you can only choose 10:30 or 11:00AM. There is no availability showing for Thurs Aug 21 at 10:30 AM, or Wed Aug 27 at 11:00 AM. Everything else is still available.

Hmmm...which 1/2 body gets the massage with the wrap??
That's a real question! Is it the back half or the top half??
Or is it only the parts that are unwrapped??

I don't do this often, can you tell??

Thanks for getting the spelling the correct way!!! opossum spelled this way gets you two drinks.:drinking1 :drinking1

Opossum!

Does that get me 2 really big drinks? .:drinking1 :drinking1

quick question....
we've never booked excursions before we've boarded. actually the only excursion that has ever been booked was for dh to parasail at CC (which ended up being canceled due to weather).
anyways, when booking tomorrow nite, do you reserve a time? if it says it meets at 8:45 or 9:45, do you pick that tomorrow nite too? or will they place us wherever there is room?

If it's offered at more than one time, there will be a little button to choose which time you want.

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

my goodness, I wonder if I show this to DS, he'll stop liking sushi.....then there will be more for me!!!!

Thanks for the condolences on the cruise. It was booked as a whim while on the Magic last year. Todd, Chris and I all booked then. I really didn't think that I could swing it, but wanted to be booked with the discount just in case.

You will have to pick a time when you book.
 
Cheryl (micmse2003) is staying at the Mariott LAX I believe. As far as I know she is the only one getting DCL transfers from the airport. She may have more info.

We're using DCL transfers but, we are coming in early that morning. I think we get in 7:30am LA time.

Cheryl & John, maybe we can meet up for the bus! :goodvibes
 
Anyone noticed this?

3 transits of the Panama canal by the Magic so far, each time the Magic has used the same set of locks. IE going West to the left, of the two or if going Eastbound the right of the two. (As you approach)

Presume is because of the viewing gallery's are on that side, IE Port W/B and Starboard E/B. We saw yesterday people waiting to watch the Magic on land on its port side. At the last two locks, Perdo Miguel and Miraflores.

If this pattern is the same, the Port side will get the view of the other set of locks and the ships going through them. Starboard whatever lock it goes through will see the viewing galleries.

2005.

oh goody does this mean I'll be getting a phone call in the wee hours of the morning?

Maybe...

I won't be in that queue! I'll be hiding somewhere so I don't have to get off! ;)

Shove over Diane. There's plenty of room in that broomcloset for both of us.


There's a bunch Mike. Julie, Todd, Chris, Paula to name a few. I'm booked but there's no way I can swing it. I'll be canceling later today.

That's a bummer, but I'm glad you're still going on the important cruise.

Question for those that charge everything on Disney Visa, then pay it off right away???

How long should I wait between charging and making the payment? Does it matter? I don't want to lose out on my rewards if I make a payment too soon.

Arlene is our resident expert, but I've paid things off as soon as they showed up in my account online & I still get the rewards. I charge everything to DV and pay it off 2-3 times a month.

You can pay it off as soon as it hits your account. You don't even have to wait for the statement date.

As long as there was a transaction in to your credit card account, you've earned the "reward."

I almost always pay a week or so before the statement date and have always accrued the points.
