College dd's 5yo (6yo?) MacBook is dead. The Genius Bar dude could offer no hope (after we did the things he suggested).

Bright side, I'll finish my CIP MSR lol

I think we'll go with a MacBook Air from Costco. If the in-store prices are the same as their online prices, it would save $200 over Apple directly, including Apple Care. I'll find out tomorrow!

I know nothing about Macbook Air, but I noticed there was a deal of the day on Amazon today on them. Not sure if it is the one you are looking at or if it is even a good deal.

ETA - dang @Lain beat me to it. lol And changed his pic!!

I’d probably go with the newest model too.

@WVMomof3 - I didn’t change my avatar? I hate change.

@Lain CONGRATS on 40,000 LIKES (i.e. reaction score)!!

I was your 40,000th...aww I'm sure you'll always remember your 40,000th...

EDIT: Also - that 4.53 per comment score is pretty awesome! You should proud of that

Awww, thanks man!

But did you actually click on my profile to check my likes count, then go back and like my old comments until you hit 40k?!

Yep! You were 5 or 6 short and I saw an opportunity to strike!! It was really hard for me to find 5 comments of yours that I didn’t like. I apparently like almost everything you say.

That’s pretty easy these days as I haven’t had much time to comment as much in this thread. We’re off to Disneyland on Tuesday!

@wendow @disfanforlife Not sure if you guys are into 4K/UHD, but Target has Lion King and TS4 half price for $17.50

https://slickdeals.net/f/13612438-t...nForAnon:Control|Feature:isPersonalized:false

I have a few that are 4K since we bought anew TV last year that is 4K. Not sure if we want to splurge on it for those two or not.

Fun! Have a great time! I just love the HM overlay this time of year.

OT, but just saw FROZEN - not the movie but the musical. National tour at a theatre a couple hours from me, I got tickets for my DD for an early Christmas present. So we had a girls day out. It was fantastic!! I highly recommend it if it comes to a city near any of you.

I think I need a new dishwasher and I have no MSR. Still waiting on CIP approval since Thursday.
Unless someone can tell me how to fix blinking lights. It did it the other day and I was able to look up a reset by pushing buttons. It ran a cycle and seemed fine. Now lights are blinking again and the reset isn't working. Tried flipping the breaker for half an hour too. Lights stopped blinking after turning power back on until we tried hitting a button. Then blinking started again.

I would YouTube child lock and your model dishwasher? Or blinking lights and your model.

I tried googling, but besides the reset I couldn't find anything very helpful. But I presently have it running! We will see if it goes all the way through the cycle. The lights have been blinking since around 1:00 today and all of a sudden I just noticed they were not blinking. So running it while I can. Hopefully it will last a little while longer. At least until my new CIP comes!! All I had to do was complain about both on here and now dishwasher is working and CIP is approved! Yay

I just think it’s because of the supreme quality of everything you say!!

The Broadway show in NYC is totally on my list

Yes, it was on my list too. But then I saw it was touring. These actors were top notch. Not any different to me than seeing it on Broadway.

Do you have any other Amex Membership Rewards points earning cards (e.g., Platinum) from which you could make the supportal? Same with DH when he is supporting you to a new card from one of his card. Supporting from a MR earning card might net you more Hilton points.

The Hilton Aspire earns 25k Hilton Honors points when making a supportal from that card. (Someone correct me if I’m wrong.)

The Platinum card earns 15k Membership Rewards points when making a supportal from that card. However, MR transfers to Hilton at 1:2. So, 15k MR=30k Hilton. But right now, there’s a targeted transfer bonus of up to 50% when transferring MR to Hilton, meaning MR to Hilton is 1:3, and a 15k MR supportal can be worth 45k Hilton.

The Platinum, Biz Platinum, and BBP all earn 15k MR per supportal. A supportal from the BGR/Biz Gold is up to 25k MR for a limited time. Each card can earn a max of 55k MR per year.

We only have a personal Gold (DH) and An Aspire (me). I am 4/24 and don;t want to get another personal (I have plans for that last spot), but am open to getting a Bus Gold.

You know when we talk about the cards we regret not getting? I regret not following your advice in Aug and having DH refer me to a bus card from his Plat bus...

The Charter Hotel was a good points rate for our dates (late May/June - so probably still border season) at 49k/night. Better than the other hotels downtown. It's only 2 blocks from Pike Place Market, so that had me sold.

Hyatt House is 15k Hyatt points (I transfered URs), also on the lower end for Hyatt points for downtown. The laundry was what drew me, lol. And it'll be super convenient for the Space Needle, Chihuly Museum, and the monorail. Hyatt Place also has laundry, but the more recent reviews seemed a bit mixed (and it's further from the Space Needle). The Hyatt Regency looks nice too (also 15k points), that's what I originally had booked when it was just 2 nights and didn't need laundry.

Planning to go to Tillicum Village, Museum of Flight, and a food tour of Pike Place - all with URs! The Boeing factory tour is also available in the Chase portal, but includes transportation. Thinking an Uber will be cheaper.

This is really helpful, thanks! I'm looking forward to your review!

The woman who plays Anna is local to me. We have seen her in numerous things and she is sister in law to my kids high school choir director. She is amazing.

With the Citi Premier, you'd have to buy the tickets through the portal at 1 cpp, and probably pricing is the same as direct (not too sure about that). With the Venture, you can get a little discount with UCT or LMT Club. If you have interest in staying onsite though, you can get Disney hotels with the Premier at 1.25x on direct prices.

If the goal is just tickets, then I'd agree the Venture is the better deal. Approval is a mystery though, so just be mentally prepared for 3 wasted pulls (they pull all 3). Sorry don't know about the MS part.

@alryan I can confirm the prices on the Citi Premier portal and they are not great. I understand it’s better to call in and the prices should be Disney prices but on the website right now Citi has the 5 day DLR hopper with MaxPass for $535 or 53,459 points, while Disney’s price is $470.

You know stalking him like that is ...odd

Here is my take on Frozen 2

I agree with most of what you said. I’m not a music person, so songs didn’t stand out for me. The story was more complex than I was expecting, and the ending was cute, but totally opened the door for Frozen 3.
