Morning Gals!

Up early looking for codes but, alas, I'm disappointed. Hopefully tomorrow's the day!

Off to get ready for work . . . only 3 clients today WAHOOO!!!

Have a great day everyone!
 
I just called.... and check the Disney Visa site.... the only codes out are the AP ones....

maybe tomorrow.....
 
I'm up too wasting my time hoping for codes today but not yet. Does Visa release them in the morning like Disney or are they generally later in the day?
 

not sure.... I just keep checking their website.....I am also signed up for email alerts so maybe that will come before they release the code??? I have never used a Disney Visa code before...
 
Morning Ladies!!
As far as codes, I thought I remembered hearing codes come out at 7am. I guess that would be Disney time?? Yesterday, I didn't see it posted on mousesavers until LATE morning, and they're usually pretty quick! I'll give it until lunch time before I call it!
 
Well in my disappointment of no codes I'll turn to a happier thought...

Yesterday's QOTD: We are getting Photopass so I am looking forward to a picture of my whole family- me included and not behind the camera lens as usual- in front of the castle or anywhere for that matter. As long as we are all in it together!:hug: We're going as a Grand Gatherings so I also want one of all of us together- my family, my sister's family and my parents. :grouphug:

Just wanted to wish all of you a wonderful good morning!! For those of you who woke up early in anticipation of codes...no worries if the CMs are saying something is going to come out that is awesome then it will!!!! Keeping those fingers crossed for you!!
 
Remmy...

Just wanted to say "HI" since we seem to be the only ones up.


:cool1: :cool1: :banana: :banana: :yay: :yay: :woohoo: :woohoo: :cheer2: :cheer2:


Good Morning mana liz,

I am sorry that I missed your "HI". I usually do stay up later, but I thought I would go to bed early to try to get in on the thus far elusive codes.

Thank you for the thought.

Remmy
 
I HAVE A CODE QUESTION!!! Are you sick of these yet? LOL

I posted this on the code board but thought I would ask here too.

I have the Disney Visa, but I didn't pay my deposit on it. I have every intention of putting the remainder of the trip on it, though. Do you think I would still be eligible for any codes? Do you think if I am able to make a payment on it BEFORE I try to have any code applied? I know i'm putting the cart before the horse, as there aren't even any codes available yet. I just want to be prepared.

On my last trip I already had the trip booked before the codes came out. When I called to apply the code the CM asked me if I had put the deposit on my Disney Visa. I had, so everything was good to go. If I had used another credit card for the deposit then she would have had to refund that card and put it on the Disney Visa. Does that make sense? So I guess the credit card used to pay for the package has to be the Disney Visa to get the code.

Hope that answered your question! :goodvibes
 
QOTD:

Here are some of mine from May of 08....

Love the pictures Mari! :goodvibes Great as always!!
 
When we got our Simba and Stitch it was just something the photopass person did. We also have a lot of individual pictures of us 'with' simba. They turned out really cute. I have them on another computer, but I'll post some tomorrow. If they don't mention anything, just go ahead and ask if you can do a simba one.

We've ordered our cd's from the site. We don't do the big fancy things, just the cd. You can look at all your photos online and you have ( I think) 30 days to order. On the site you can add all the fun borders for each park and special occasions.

Hope that helps...at least a little.;)

Thank you so much crzyred for your response. It does answer some of my questions. I can't wait to see some of your photos if you wish to share. I think it is great you have a lot of individual pictures with 'simba' so it should mean that the CMs will take their time with you. I often worry about that. I wonder if there will be long lines if the photopass catches on. I know we will be searching out as many of those CMs we can.

Crazyred, do you remember how long after you placed your order it took for the CD to arrive?

Thanks
Remmy
 
I am here waiting.:rolleyes1 popcorn::

I will be in and out trying to check for these elusive codes. :cool2:

I do hope that they do come out today and put all of us out of our misery for waiting for the code.

Patience is not one of my virtues. By waiting for the special code, it is definitely teaching me this virtue.


Dear Disney,

Please release a really great and wonderful code today that everyone can participate in and save a lot of money. We would like to have a very magical vacation and a nice code would help us out to be able to make it to your parks.

Thank you
Remmy
 
Good morning all! Just checking in before work. I trust all of you will alert me if/when you hear about a code.

I noticed I am now a mouseketeer too, no longer Earning my Ears!! Yay!

Hope everyone has a good day!!
I found out late yesterday that our trial has been mostly settled and now I won't be stuck in the courtroom all day!! So now I can visit with all of you more! :)

We have been to Chef de France many times.... I love the duck.....yummy.... and believe it or not the mac and cheese is very good also!!!
 
On my last trip I already had the trip booked before the codes came out. When I called to apply the code the CM asked me if I had put the deposit on my Disney Visa. I had, so everything was good to go. If I had used another credit card for the deposit then she would have had to refund that card and put it on the Disney Visa. Does that make sense? So I guess the credit card used to pay for the package has to be the Disney Visa to get the code.

Hope that answered your question! :goodvibes
