Still in catch up mode but here are our 2019 plans:
We will be in Antarctica from Christmas through the first week of the New Year. Used AA miles to get our flights for that trip. The cost of it earned us a travel together ticket with British Airways which we will use to go to Europe for a future unplanned trip.
January, we will be going to New York for the Mickey True Original Exhibition. We are staying at a Residence Inn by Central Park that available using our annual free night certificate with our Marriott cards. Flights were paid for with Amex MR points.
March, we leave for a trip to Dubai staying at the Al Maha Desert Resort and Spa using Starriott points at 60K per night before the category changes to something like 100K per night. Then we fly to the Maldives and at staying in Overwater Bungalows using Hilton points. The $500 sea plane transfers are covered with the Hilton Aspire resort benefit. We are flying first class on Etihad using Alaska miles that were accumulated with the Marriott Night and flight packages before they were devalued.
April we are going to WDW for Flower and Garden. DVC points and staying at the Boardwalk.
May we are going to New Orleans for a long weekend and using our 7 night travel package certificate from one of the aforementioned Marriott night and flight packages.
June/July we are going to Scotland using a British Airways travel together pass that was earned last year.
August we will be going to New York for the weekend to see Hamilton and we used AA gift cards to pay for the flights.
Late August and early September we will be on a 3 night
Disney Cruise paid for with discounted Disney GCs or earned at 5x UR points.
September/October is our Adventures by Disney trip to Japan. Flights are in first using MR points with a bonus transferred to
Virgin Atlantic in order to book ANA. The trip will be paid for using discounted Disney GCs or earned at 5x UR points.
late October - WDW F&W and staying at AKV with DVC points
November Thanksgiving trip will be a repeat and we are taking both sides of the family again to WDW using DVC points.
Tentatively planning
Disneyland in December but nothing set in stone just yet.
for that guy if it was the CSR. Hope he pocketed a bunch of chips at least.
We'll be staying at 1 Hotel South Beach. Anyone have suggestions for interesting things to do/see and good restaurants? @calypso726 and anyone else? We'll need to find 2 lunches and a dinner. One of our chosen activities is a Cuban food tour, yum!
No WDW trip until youngest's spring break 2020.
Love reading about your amazing trips and use of points
