Well, we are off tomorrow morning at 6:30am to WDW! I can't believe it is finally here! We are going for 12 days - 7 nights at Pop Century and 4 nights at Cabana Bay. I should be good and exhausted when we get home.

I'll likely be on the boards checking each night once we are back from the parks if you have any questions.

Happy Collecting!

Have fun....would love a review of your stay at Cabana Bay when you get back....

That's almost the trip we took last year. Cabana Bay is amazing, we stayed in a family suite, and the theming is just right. Hope you get one of the new rooms at Pop Century, they are awesome as well.
Have a great trip, can't wait to get your feedback.

I think that was a targeted offer and not SIM.

 

[osully]

That's a pretty good deal. Includes the Old El Paso tortilla chips which I have been curious to try... will have to pick up a few kits and a bag of those! Quick 50AM.

Otherwise nothing remarkable... again!

 

[ottawamom]

Sobeys will be changing its start date for flyer deals to Thursdays starting February 15th. This is totally going to change my shopping week.

How long does it usually take for AM to send out Universal Passes? I have enough for 3 passes, but we are flying out of Ottawa early on Feb 13th...

 

[Pumpkin1172]

I have to say...with the AM being very few and far between...I did a little happy dance when I seen a decent Blue Friday for us in the west. I looked at my AM account this morning...and seen i collected a sad " 29 " in the last 31 days. Needless to say...i'm glad to see this little boost finally. I will take a look at my targeted offers and what's offered and see if I can get a decent haul this weekend

 

[blue888]

Yay! Blue Friday! Making my list now. Lots of the items on sale are ones I need!

Also, my IGA deals look decent this month. Spend $150 get 300AM. Which is pretty good since it is such a small store.

Do you think the universal orlando tickets will go back to the 2 day 2 park after the promo is done (3 park, 2 days + 2 days free)? I already have 2 of the 2 day 2 park tickets and have been holding out to get the others I need for April as we are only going to be there for 2 days. I paid 4850AM for the 2 tickets and it would be 7100 now for the ones they offer.

Hi Hon
I checked the site this morning (I'd like to get a couple more of the old passes this year)....
The 3 park,2 days+2 days free seems to be gone but nothing to replace it yet. Lets hope some new "old ones" pop up. I do know that they are trying to promote their new Water Park.

Those tickets/promo were only to be sold until November 30th, but because they are good until May 11 (or was it May 30?), I believe Air Miles was trying to finish off their stock.

I'm sure AM will bring back a Universal Studios ticket of some kind back. The 2 day park-to-park tickets were 2,425 each. I have a feeling Air Miles will up the price when they bring them back.

Still no Orlando U/O tickets posted...fingers crossed they come back.

@mernin I just saw the old 2 park 2 day Universal tickets are back but at 2995 AM

They could arrive within 4-5 days or they could take 10 days to 2 weeks to get here. They will be sent through a courier (not certain who they are using today, has been UPS in the past but could be Canada Post) so that speeds things up a bit. It can take them a few days to process the order and ship it out.

You could get lucky and get them in time or you might not (I would put it at 50/50). If you know you will be going again in the next while I would chance it. I personally don't think I would chance it with such little time available to you. The tickets do have an expiry date on them. Not certain what that date is right now, but they may expire before you can get back to Orlando to use them (assuming they don't arrive by Feb 12)

I have never ordered Universal Passes, however I did order Cineplex passes on January 1, 2018 and I have yet to receive them.
