I love credit cards so much! v2.0 (see first page for add'l details)

Aww, that is so cute. They do remember, even if they may not remember wen they are an adult. My neighbor asked me yesterday if I thought her 4 year old was old enough yet to go to WDW since she won't really remember.
Of course I told oh yes most definitely. My DD tells EVERYONE she fell asleep with the Beast (at Be Our Guest), rode the "modarail", etc. She remembers more than me!

They really do. She doesn't remember those trips NOW, but would talk all about the fishies and the beach and the slides, or the princesses and rides when she was younger. I miss those days when she was in preschool and we could travel any time of the year.

Aww that is adorable! We have friends with 2nd graders (twins) who have been all over the world (on school holidays since Mom is a teacher) and maybe they won't remember it all at 20, but they do now. They are local to DL, so they don't spend lots of travel money on Disney.

All this hawaii talk seems to hide the story that Swych with CIC is dead... :\

Dang, Chase is killing all those outlets!

Finally catching up here...it's been busy with DCL releases (I tried to help!). Then mentoring, then y'all were soooo very chatty today

Now I’m wondering if @tink1970 will also have Dr Pepper coming out her nose when she reads all this in the morning.

LOL-the first thing I thought was "diet Dr Pepper" but yes...that...of course!

The prices for the next round of Disney Cruises coming out today is… bonkers. And some people are saying “hey, that’s not too bad!” I must be living in another universe. Yikes.

We must because I was happily surprised. Of course, 2 years ago I took my parents on a Europe DCL in a suite and it was a bit pricey. Sooo anything less than that cruise fare is "reasonable."

My mom would be so upset, 90210 was her very favorite show ever.

I now feel old and am drawing a line in chalk down the shunned clubhouse. You can have the whippersnapper side.

So I was brave and applied for the CIP on Friday. It went pending, then went to 2 weeks, and then today it's at 7-10 days. Guess I won't be getting one. I had a feeling this wasn't going to work.

Awww, you can join me in the No CIP for you club! Sorry, hopefully it will be an easy recon!

And shout out to my GS peeps @kmc8826 and @gottalovepluto --Tagalongs are my favorite with Savannah Smiles a close second! I bought 37 boxes of GS cookies from my niece (must beat ex DH who bought 36) and the $4/box doesn't seem like a lot when compared to the shipping prices. Those were DCL crazy!!

 

[amalone1013]

Your MOM? I feel so old, lol.

Bleh. I feel so old, too! I remember loving 90210 as a kid. I'll be 37 in July.

My mom was 24 when it came out and she started watching. She would have been 53 today

@Haley R you inspired me to get a print of a painting. I think this is going to be our new souvenir to collect. SO is trying to find one of Tomorrowland.

We got a print of this. I feel like I had to because we are getting married at the wedding pavilion in December. I couldn’t afford the $500 painting tho lol

I like that one!

 

[AmyAnne]

Yeah I really don’t know how they do it with three kids. My SO was like losing it in their Disney video when they let the baby crawl around on Main Street. I think they are more laid back then we would be lol

This is what happens by the third. First kid-- sterilize everything . . . by the third, it's like, "germs are good for the immune system."

 

[gottalovepluto]

I applied for the Bonvoy Brilliant in my first self-referral, instant approval! No pop-up. Currently have about $700 charged on my spg personal. Closed my DL gold a couple months ago. My other 3 amex cards are still open and in their first years but get little use (the spg personal has 700 due to Amex Lowes offer).

You feel old LOL? I was married when I watched it!

Official Southwest Hawaii Press Release:
https://www.swamedia.com/releases/release-bc94d941a090ea44998912da1fdcc705-hawaii-here-we-come

Did anybody share this? I tried to read every comment today but admittedly I skimmed some. There's A LOT of detail in there.

 

[jujubiee4]

For you Hawaii experts, how do you get to Kauai for a reasonable cost? Is SW flying these routes as well?

Looking at the Courtyard on Coconut Beach. Isn't that hotel going up soon??

Im glad you are looking at Kauai. I feel too many people miss that island. It is truly
beautiful.

Barclay Hawaiian has the 60k offer. It is a throwaway card for sure but the miles are 17,500
each way (from the west)

 

[SouthFayetteFan]

Guys - I just hit a major milestone!!!!

My wife's Aviator Biz was our 70th card since we started churning in 2011!!! (And then mine was 71).

I cannot believe we are that deep into this. We started slow from 2011-2014 and then really hit the game hard in 2015. I so appreciate this group which has been a huge part of my churning journey for the past 2 years. You guys are AWESOME and I'm so lucky to have this group to share successes with!!

Unfortunately, Barclay won't give me anymore love lol! I think dh & I both have maxed them out for now.

And I missed the SW sale so Kauai will have to wait. I went to Hawaii as a teen and we split our stay between Maui and Oahu. I wasn't really a fan of Oahu but loved Maui. Kauai seems more like Maui so that island definitely appeals to me.

Well, this morning, I could book Den to Oak for $118 there and $88 back in mid-May. Now all of May is showing unavailable. Same for March and April. I wasn't even looking at the inter-island ones yet
