What a great deal!!! I'd have a hard time passing this up. What about 3 nights there and 3 in the Epcot area?

It's the checking account. I think I have the savings covered with the $10k transfer from Discover to Chase. I transferred $500 from Discover to Chase to see if that would work. The $500 has already posted to Chase. I just transferred $100 from my CU checking since the DP about Discover were not promising. My CU isn't on the list so I'll see what happens there. I think I can easily request to have $500 from my fed'l paycheck sent to Chase but I was trying not to mess with it if I didn't need to.
I haven't

Hahaha, sage advice! I remember back in college I went to China for a week & felt totally fine when I got back. TBH I felt like a BOSS. Pish jet lag! All of the sudden part way through the next day it was like a sleeping spell hit. I recall walking into my next class, handing my prof my homework and saying "I'm going to sleep now" and leaving for my dorm. Jet lag is real. (It was my hardest class, not one I wanted to miss. And that was back when I could do all nighters!)
- BOOM! I WIN! Take that DIS IT!
Wow I didn’t know it was that great of a deal lol but that’s exactly what I was thinking. I’m just trying to figure out which 3 to do first. I’m thinking Epcot area first and WL second maybe
We are flying business class with lay flat seats. I plan to bring Benydryl or something to help me sleep. Thanks for the advice though! We aren’t doing Disney first on our trip so that should help@kmc8826 , IIRC you have an AMex Plat which (if you keep it) could benefit you since you're automatically gold with Amex Plat. Or...consider the Aspire which confers Diamond level status (and has a $100 lower AF than the plat) if you're not planning on keeping the Plat.
Aww, bless your heart! Once you get those, remember to use all of your Global Entry credit card credits to enroll in that (well, once they reopen I guess).
I apologize for the unsolicited advice, but @DisneyMandC , @Haley R , @wendow , @kmc8826 --please remember that the jet lag is REAL (I remember when John and Kevin did a Dreams Unlimited podcast about Tokyo DL and viewers were annoyed because they weren't enthusiastic enough-they attributed it to being super jet lagged). I've been to Japan twice and frankly hated it, likely because I flew economy (on y'alls tax dollars so thanks) and never recovered from jet lag. So please, especially if you're flying economy but regardless, read and try whatever you can, remedy wise, to mitigate it. It sounds like y'all are making trips of a lifetime and I'd hate for you to be disappointed. I don't want to sound like a know it all...but I've been there done that and didn't go to Tokyo DL because I was just too exhausted (and I was 22 and 24 so not like I was the old fart I am now

ETA: I'm trying desperately to reformat this but it won't let me make it unclickable. Signs I need to go back to work I guess

Got my magical rooms at Pop. I didn't think to be suspicious of the even numbers in the quote and expect tax, but that's okay. We are still $20ish cheaper than the Preferred room at Music, and I'd rather stay at Pop. Renovated, I think ILs will like the mix of Disney icons and culture icons more than just music theme, and I'm biased because Pop was where we stayed on our first trip
The deposit was about $10 more than the Music deposit, and I already cashed out URs based on Music and accounting for discounted GCs, so I'm not going to bother to cash out another ~$7 in URs for the change. It just means I've done Disney math to make my URs worth 1.5 cents

We just used our credits for pre-check lol! Int'l travel was not on my radar screen. But it may take me so long to figure all this out that we are eligible again
