Hi
We went in April stayed at POFQ and are already saving for our trip in March.
1. I have a 430.00 credit threw SouthWest that has to be used before the begining of April. So airfare PD.
2. I just purchased 4 Q&C Vocuhers today I purchase two a month that was for May and June. Out of those 18 I will purchase over the next 9 months. I will purchase 6 Breakfest Vocuchers . We eat twice a day either a 1030 breakfest or a early lunch than dinner. That means I will have to pay for 10 meals or less I may purchase rainforest cafe GC or Planet Hollywood. I also purchase Movie tickets for Down town Disney.
3. When my husband and I are shcedule to recieve and extra pay check I will purchase are passes and Universal that will be aprox 500.00. I have a AP to Universal to get the discounts on the hotels.
4. I purchase all tickets thew hotwire. I don't cancle my membership as I purchase something monthly.
5. Hotel depending on Codes if there is codes we will stay at a moderate if no codes POP Century. At Universal we will stay at RPR. I put 100.00 a month towards the hotels. That =1,000 Pus those extra pay checks I usually throw in an exta 100.00 those months.

It hurts less when you do it this way I have 25.00 a week that goes into savings directly this way the Hotel is paid for. I never use our tax money I always have enough saved. The past two years we have been paying off credit cards with are tax money this year the rest will be paid.. Can't wait. this is for 2 adults for a 10 day stay

One more question. Does the gift card come with the entertainment book? When you say "activate" ... what kind of gift card did you get?


Thanks for your help.

No it didn't come with the book. When you buy the entertainment it takes a couple weeks for them to "contact" yourgiftcard.com. yourgiftcard.com will send an email confirmation and ask you to verify your address and they send out the card. You have the activate the card by simply calling a 800 number - like any other "credit" card - it has a visa logo on it. Simple. I give these Visa gift cards out as wedding gifts, shower, birthday, etc. (usually from AAA). - And for the record its a great way to save. Most major banks have them (including Bank of America - usually everywhere - and in Orlando).

What is a Q & C meal voucher?

Also, where can you get the Rainforest Cafe meal vouchers or gift cards? I'd love to eat there one or two nights and Planet Hollywood as well.

Anywere else good to eat???

The Q & C meal voucher info is at the top of the budget board titled "Everything you wanted to know about connections vouchers" The Q & C vouchers are good at a lot of counter service restuarants all around Disney Parks and resorts. They are $11.50 via hotwiresavingsclub.com (free for 30 days - $7.50 thereafter). I'm not sure about Connections.

Here is the link to that board

The Lunch Vouchers are also available via Connections and Hotwire Savings Club ($31 for adults and $12.75 for children). These vouchers can be used at many (not all) sit-down restaurants around Disney (Check that link above) - one of which is Rainforest Cafe in Animal Kingdom only (although I just read that someone a few weeks used this voucher in DTD - but I'm not sure about that one). Also, Rainforest is apart of Laundry's group, so you can go online (www.rainforestcafe.com) and get a gift card directly thru them.

And if you join Hotwire Savings Club for every $25 Planet Hollywood gift card you buy you get a $5 rebate.
