I have strictly for the 3 day advance warning on discount codes!!! They do offer some incentives for ponits. We were earning 5x rewards earlier this year which racked up an extra 100 points (the program max) besides our regular ones

I always miss signing up for these ...I read about it on the budget board.....I am bad and disorganized. I guess if you can catch that it's a good thing...I charge thousands per month and never seem to rack up many points....I almost hate that visa. I prefer my straightforward SPG AMex. Point per dollar.

I usually get an email or a postcard in the mail about it. The nice thing is that you can sign up the last day of the promo and all your purchases made in the qualifying time still count

Scam artists!! I can't believe they took it!!

DS had a play date right after preschool and I was running errands this am. My LOFT box came today and all my clothes fit great!! (even the petite shorts) That black and white sundress is the CUTEST!!! But to those who also liked it, be warned, it runs big!! I am a size 4 and I took it in an XS

That's GREAT!! I bet you're totally getting excited for your trip!!! All that vacation shopping gets me in the mood....the dresses were both adorable. Way to go on the shorts, too!!

There is parking right there... that is usually where I leave my stroller during our entire tour of Fantasyland and stop back to get it on our way to Toontown...

Kristin: I need an EXACT LOCATION
I will be running like a mad lady pushing a double stroller, I need to know my destination!

Also, I've never been there at rope drop, how much can I get done in 3 hours? DH will be in FT-W taking a Segway tour. I have to meet him at Noon at the WL for lunch (WCC). I can't do any of the mountains as I'll have my little one with me. Only rides that he can sit on my lap. Do have a little itinerary you can whip up for me?

You think she was trying to get those cheap-Os to upgrade to RPC?

Seriously, she won't even stay GF GV! AND SHE's ON THE BUDGET BOARD!

Had it been April Fools Day I would have thought she was pulling our leg!

Having never been in June I can't really predict the crowds so I am not sure how much you will get done. Easily all of Fantasyland and probably Toontown (which normally opens at 10 am). As for stroller parking, just run for Dumbo and park it anywhere that you see strollers. There isn't a parking area per se, but you won't be the only one doing this!! (I think there is more organized stroller parking at Pooh and Philharmagic)

For the EMH, all that is open is Dumbo, Pooh, Peter Pan, Small World and the Carousel (I believe). You would need to come back for Snow White, Tea Cups and Philharmagic.

I would do Dumbo, then Pooh, then Peter Pan, then Small World and then the Carousel. At 9am do Snow White and Philharmagic. Head to Toontown right when it opens and see Mickey and then the princesses (if you have princess lovers in your group- I don't remember ) If you have time, grab some FP's for a mountain for later in the day if the whole family is coming back.

I would allow about 1 hour to get to WL if you plan on taking the boat. We were late for our WCC ressie last year since it took FOREVER for a boat to come and then it went to Ft Wilderness FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not sure how long a bus to WL takes or if it makes any other stops.

How's that??

We don't use the card real often. Our Discover is our primary card. Maybe they are trying to entice us into using it more

I LOVE the budget board!!! Except when they start talking weird and cheap. I get some good codes for online shopping over there - Where do you all think I got that great 50% off Skechers code?? What a bunch of ingrates.

OMG OMG i am seriously cracking up here!

Total ingrate!!!

I like a bargain!!!!

 

[praline3001]

yeah those ppl know how to save a buck or two but SOME over there are just...err... well... lets just say their lifestyle doesn't float my boat

There is knowing how to get a bargain and then being cheap as dirt

 

[Cinderumbrella]

Have you guys seen the proposed MNSSHP & MVMCP ticket prices??

I know we paid less than that in 2006!! My PPP tix were only $42!!!

I like to do a quick skim thru and see what's what. I am curious. All I know is I could never post over there. My grocery bill is GInormous I can't budget worth spit and I can't do meal planning or any of their stuff they're into....they'd rip0 me to shreds and my skin isn't THAT thick yet...BUT I like online shopping discount codes.

YOu guys can laugh ...but I will still share the budget board wealth with ya.

OMG. Hilarious! I gotta go check out that Budget Board. If my DH thought there was any chance I might be looking into a less expensive way to get my Disney fix he'd be THRILLED!

 

[praline3001]
