Clearance socks were my jam.

It was clearance party supplies for me. I also replaced my bath and kitchen towels one piece at a time. I cry a little inside every time I get an eBay bucks email. That was such a high.

For our Sept trip, I currently have Cabana Bay booked with 11973 URs and All Star Movies for $153 ($109 free night plus $37.50 OOP for discounted Hotels.com gift cards.

Now I see a Pop room only offer on Disney's site. So I could call in and have Chase Travel book that for 9360 URs, and switch my Cabana Bay reservation to Hotels.com for $179 ($109 free night plus $59.25 OOP for discounted gift cards)... so paying $21.75 more but saving 2600 URs... More decisions! Why do I continue looking and changing things?

ETA: Technically the URs are worth $39+, so mathematically I'm better off switching? Maybe $18 isn't worth the effort, but I do like Pop so that's more emotional $20 won't make or break the budget either, right now I'm at $343 for flights and 9 hotel nights, and $189 of that is the resort fee at the Dolphin.

I'm still using the pencils and tape I bought with every gc order to make it a 'legit' number... those were good times... I got in about 6 months or so

I bought tons of glue sticks, rulers and notebooks back in those days. As a homeschool mom, I think I'm set for life lol!

ETA: I started the GC churning in Sept 2015 and rode it all the way until the bitter end. My only regret is that I didn't jump in with both feet ASAP. I was cautious with it until Dec 2015.

I keep meaning to post and then spend all my time just getting caught up BUT wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU for all of you DVC members who encouraged me months ago about your initial feelings on your DVC purchase and your continuing thoughts. I can't remember who all but everyone who took the time to respond was a huge help to me in deciding to just go for it. I just sent off the closing paperwork with a direct purchase at OKW (cheapest way to buy direct and still fit my family of 5) and I have a resale contract for BLT with Disney in ROFR right now. If resale was not such a cost savings I would just buy more direct as seeing the 30,000 UR's post on my Reserve is pretty sweet and so easy!

And side note, I really appreciate everyone on this thread. As part of this DVC quest I have been looking at that section more and while there is some helpful information on there and I have "met" some nice people I also find a lot of really negative and judgmental people who overall can be just annoying. I can truthfully say that on here I like everyone and would be happy to meet in real life!

Congrats on your DVC purchase....we’ve owned since 2001 and love it......agree with you about some of the people there...I sometimes wonder why they don’t sell....on almost every thread they post something negative

We loved cabana bay! Had an amazing week there last August. We liked Pop too but our room was so noisy (from the pool) it was kind of miserable. Probably an issue at any Disney value—especially in the summer when people are in the pool late.

Not sure how many fellow New Englanders but this is a great deal from Dunkin’ Donuts load $10 onto app and get $5 if you pay with Masterpass and you can do this daily. I was not targeted and the $5 credited yesterday and today with $10 load

Pretty sure I recall reading that the crime rate increases during the summer.

You're correct. Unfortunately, the cases that I handle are approximately 3-6 months old when I receive them after an individual has already been convicted. Which means I'm having a busy summer, and I'm also going to have a busy winter.

Having no experience with the All Stars and only staying at Pop once in my life... I vote for Pop

What are you carrying in that pic? Love seeing the new avatars!

It's a 30 lb sandbag. I didn't believe my dh when he said I have visible back muscles so one day during a special outdoor workout, a trainer took this picture without me knowing

It's been a long time since I have changed mine. The baby in my photo is going to be starting kindergarten next month!

I think I have you beat.....that little boy on Tiggers knee will be going to college next year.

Just back from a 4 night trip with my son for his 13th birthday. We had so much fun, even though it was hotter than Hades. Came back to approvals for my SW business card (had an ongoing saga of applying when I shouldn't have, 2 denials, 7-10 day message on third try, letter to send birthdate confirmation). And while that was taking forever, applied for DH to have amex hilton business because I was in cc withdrawal. He was approved also. Now to hit $8000 in the next 3 months between the two, then enjoy my first companion pass!

Now that I have the CIC, I'm going to try my hand at this whole buying a gift card from gyft.com. Any promo codes for first time users that anyone knows of? And do I have to do anything special to make sure the CIC code the purchase correctly? I feel like there is but I haven't paid attention to those 'chatterings'.

No promo codes that I'm aware of. Add your CIC to PayPal. When checking out on Gyft, select PayPal, log in with your credentials, make sure the CIC is selected as the method of payment. As a new user, take it slow, avoid large denominations, build up some history and pattern of purchases. It's super sensitive to potential fraud like PPDG and may put your order on hold or decline the transaction.

Thank you!

Anyone else get this? I am going to check it out and see what they have for gift cards. I had thought about getting a Best Buy gift card and then convert with Swagbucks to pick up Disney...but that is dead. Bed Bath seems to be hit or miss...not sure the risk is worth it...or if they even sell those gift cards.
