I've gone the "bugger it, I'll pay OOP and suffer the increase in cost if there is one compared to DP".......I dont want to spend my 7 days racing to dining if I want to spend the time doing other stuff because we "have " to use the credits....

we will get groceries delivered just purely for the other stuff we want..ie: walmart do both groceries and stuff..kill 2 birds with one stone re candy, cereals, chips, drinks.....dvc have a good store for milk and other cold stuff.

now all i have to do is wait

I wouldn't do the DDP if I had to 'pay' for it. I'd just do out of pocket. Sometimes I want an entree with a main rather than a main and bad cupcake. However, the free DDP is great if you can wing it. We worked out we'd broken even last year had we paid OOP for the same thing on the DDP. We would have saved money if we just ordered what we wanted only rather than purchasing the DDP. Because it was free we saved anyway because this works for us as the best discount. Otherwise it's just easier OOP.

we have decided to go totally OOP for dining, unless FD comes out, then we'll go with that...

we have 2 x part days offsite, and 2 x TS meals booked at this stage, so FD will save us $$$, but if we go OOP, we won't break the bank, as typically we only eat bfast (cereal or a muffin) and dinner (TS) with maybe some fruit or a snack in between. we like to keep distractions (like eating) to a minimum when we're in the parks, lol.

in relation to numbers... i've given up, and have gone from to to when the $ fell to to now

i'm just zen about the whole thing. it's insurance and usa domestic flights that are doing my head in. i had perfect flights at perfect times and perfect prices all ready to book then the stupid airline changed the times and they no longer work with my schedule, and now i'm back to being


time for some then i'm off to

I know what you mean about domestics flights we are flying back to LA 1 day early for DH to do a speedway course and the flight difference is $60+ more per person soon adds up when your paying for so many people I am hoping for some and maybe a July 4th sale Would be nice

You (and your Visa) have had quite the weekend!

I just did our ESTA applications. Bloody hell, I'm sure it's not a bad process when you are only doing one or two, but FIVE seemed to take forever! Anyway, they are entered and Pending. Is it normal to get a Pending message or are we going to be denied?

Ours went straight through but a few people lately seem to get pending first sure it will be fine

We got pending, but it went through about 2 hours later.

 

[australiankaren]

if you are renewing then it goes thru fairly straight away...i think...YMMV

yep, my visa is upset...and with my shop at disney last night shes not a happy camper at all!

Could have been ESTA TwilightZone on their systems.....either that....or one of you has a name that matches Interpol Top 10 Most Wanted.



(Don't laugh.....a friend of mine had an EXACT name match with #7 about 10 years ago. He was constantly held up at airports!!!)

hrmm. helps if i remember to renew our ESTAs *squirrel* ((note to self: must not forget to renew ESTAs))

my little mastercard is so exhausted... but i want to take advantage of the $ while it's still above 90c

shop at disneystore.com ??? wonder how many times it will hit memphis this time

he sounds like my dd2. I'm dreading her behaviour over there. She can't even behave on a trip to the supermarket. We'll definitely need some down time for her because the more tired she is, the more irritable she gets (which means the more stressed and grumpy I get). Anyway, I'm going in with fairly low expectations and maybe she'll surprise me.

Did your ESTAs come through?

Well the 1st of July means that I can finally say that we leave next month It might be at the very end of next month, but it's still next month

That would be awful. Your poor friend.

Fingers crossed that wasn't the reason for the small hold up on my ESTA.
