Hey this is a family site here. Let’s keep it clean.

Not safe for work?

 

[wendow]

We do too! I was really on the fence about a pool but how could anyone pass that up?

You made a good choice! I love it!

 

[Haley R]

Hope your DD is feeling better very soon.


That is so scary! Glad things seem to be better now.


Congratulations!!! I do not understand at all how you managed to get this done so quickly. The former homebuying me is very jealous That has to be the record for fastest turnaround I have ever heard of!

Lol we were really hoping to get everything done this trip so we wouldn’t have to fly back down. We got so lucky with this house. Our realtor is FANTASTIC though. He has been so great. He was assigned to us by dh’s new company. He knew the lady living in this house because she’s also a realtor so it was really all thanks to him. He called her and she said we could go in her house that very same day. Then we went back one more time the next day, signed the papers this morning, and the owner of the house signed them about an hour later. The inspection on the house is already this Friday. The whole thing just went so smoothly.

[Haley R]

I know, I would have loved it if it were a PP lounge. Like you mentioned, I'm just glad we are getting one at all!



Also stop and shop peeps gc sale going on Friday - $15 coupon for future grocery trip.

Oh great, thanks. I was just wondering today when they were going to have another promo.



My DS thinks I'm crazy because I can't...stop...laughing!!! I really needed a good laugh, you guys are hilarious!

@Haley R , congrats, and I absolutely love that pool! Really making me rethink about moving to FL![/QUOTE]

Wow, Chase is intent on making the CIP completely useless except for its SUB. A year ago, the CIP was my favorite card, got almost all of my spend, and no way would I ever think about closing it. Today, I was just musing about closing one and PCing another. One of these days, I'll have to make a list of all the nice things that used to earn 3x on the CIP but don't anymore.

Really, every time something comes up like this, a little vignette pops back into my head:

last Chase CC division management meeting:

-they keep using their cards and earning all these points, how do we stop that?

-one way to reduce program costs, get rid of customers. less people to use it, voila, lower expenses. right? guys? what's wrong?

- it's bloody brilliant! although i keep getting a feeling like we missed something...

Am I secretly TPG?

your TPLain...

 

[disneymagicgirl]

How long will you be there? Because if it's for a few days or more, the price difference might well be mitigated by the kitchen and laundry facilities.
Disclosure- I don't like the poly, though.

7 nights...and I do always do laundry on trips

 

[SouthFayetteFan]

your TPLain...

I like it! Get in The Points Lain! It’s like a play on TPG and the fast lane.

 

[disneymagicgirl]

Quoting myself - Anyone?

this may have been answered already, but I have easily moved a credit to another card via SM

I love the one bedrooms and I've done the Poly rooms. What parks are you doing and what kind of dining will you do?

We have 7 nights and 9 park days (if we wish) so we will be everywhere. I don't make many ADRs b/c I just prefer not to adhere to a schedule. Currently we only have homecomin and trattoria (DDs bday dinner) that I can recall.

 

[disneymagicgirl]

We own at BWV...and I love one bedrooms for the kitchen and laundry....plus the ability to walk to Epcot or the Studios ...but if your trip is more MK centered I would stay at the Poly

does anyone in your family sleep on the sofa bed? My DS9 is adamant he isn't sleeping on there. Maybe I could order a mattress topper or something.

We always have someone sleeping on the sofa bed. It’s not the greatest (the older ones were wonderful) but they still get slept on and they survive. And mine are adults LOL.

We spend most nights at Epcot. It’s so easy to stroll over there and such a great atmosphere at night with lots of food options.

Oh I thought we were going for a human soup kind of thing

DCL style

You forgot you app’d for a card? Are you part of this group? You didn’t obsessively check the link every 20 min? Might earn you a spot in shun corner
Barclay is Bar-cray they make no sense!

hahaha, I know. I checked twice...like right after the app and the next morning. Then I forgot. It was a busy weekend...4 kids always needing something...ya know!

This area is a very high selling area but the house we bought wasn’t even listed. Six houses went to contingent or sold after that one day of looking. I guarantee if it was listed we wouldn’t have gotten it because our price was so low. They literally asked what the top of our budget was and that’s what we paid. Their house is easily worth more than that but it saved them the hassle of listing it and dealing with all of that. We got extremely lucky and I honestly think everything in life is either “meant to be or not”. This apparently was. I’m very grateful for the people selling it because I feel like they gave us a great deal and they’re leaving tons of furniture along with all of the appliances.

A similar string of events happened to my daughter when she bought her house. I found the link to the house online before it was even listed, her realtor got an appt to see it the following day. The former owner is a nurse, works odd hours and no one else was able to contact her due to her schedule. We got in to see it the next day, she made a full price offer an hour later (also at the VERY TOP of her budget) and it was accepted before anyone else could even see the house. Sometimes things align just perfectly! Coincidence? Probably not.

AA Miles for Disney Resorts UPDATE
The summer promotions are now showing on AAVacations.com and useaamiles.com!

Unfortunately availability appears limited! Sorry @wendow but Yacht Club isn't on it for your dates and Beach Club is only available on a club level room.

I haven't yet had a chance to do any math and actually figure it out - but that's at least some good news!

EDIT:
Example - Grand Floridian, 8/11 - 8/15 - Disney Promo Rate = $2,085.76

AAVacations.com w/ throwaway rental car = 233,400 Miles at 0.9cpp!

(Useaamiles remains a DUD at 257,000 for the same room w/ no car)

This is really good news. I thought I had found a use for my aa miles for actual flights. Was looking at turks and Caicos or Aruba for fall break. Then I saw it is 2 layovers and 12 hours of travel. Ummm, no. Need a different airline.
Back to wdw or Swolphin plans I guess...
