Yay for a picture a day countdown!

And awesome about 17 (16) more Mondays!!!

Good job staying off the food porn threads! After all, you gotta save some stuff for Gnomefest! And for all your DVC trips that will INEVITABLY come down the road a few years....

Love that count down calendar. We will start one at 30 days. Friday April 3rd is a great day-my oldest DD turns 5! I know that you mentioned before that it was becoming a challenge to start a family. I have been through almost every treatment/procedure/medication-feel free to pm me. I wish you lots of luck, it is a hard journey but very worth it. Also crossing my fingers for May hours soon. I am also trying to stay away from the dining threads.....

Thanks. Happy Early Birthday to your DD. Thanks for the nice wishes, I will keep your offer in mind.
It's really hard to stay away from the dining threads! I was on there this morning.

What a great idea! I can't wait!!

Re: the gift card I don't know about tips. I know you can use them for snacks at all the carts and for counter service.

And hurrah for saving money for Disney!!

I have to find the answer to this question. Maybe I will just call the number on the back of the giftcard.

I really want to do 1900 Park Fare during Gnomefest.

Your photos are almost all uncovered!

As for the gift card, I can't see a reason why it wouldn't hurt. Maybe if you call Disney direct or the number on the back of the gift card, they'd give you a definitive answer.

Good luck!

First of all I'm so glad to be back and caught up now to make some comments!!!

First of all I want to hear all the reviews of ASMu because that is the resort Paula and I will be staying at so I want to know all the details and take pictures...lots of pictures.

Secondly, having my car was a godsend! I didn't ride the bus but once and I loved the flexibility of having my own vehicle and leaving places and literally with Stanely it never took me more than 10-15 minutes to get anywhere I wanted!! I might never go to Disney without my own car again!!

Thirdly, I was told you could put tips on the gift cards, they are just like cash! I used them this trip and intended to use them as tips. However, Prince Phillip wanted me to use our CC!! Hopefully that helps!

I think I will give that number a call and see what they say. I figure when I add money to it again, I'll ask the Disney CM too. The manager I spoke with the other day was very knowledgable, at least it sounded good.

I am so very jealous of your October Trip! Thats mean green with envy. I will take lots of ASMu pictures for you.

I'm excited about having our car there. I think we will probably use it quite a bit. With Betty we will be fine!

Who told you that you could use it for tips? Just curious. I wonder if they will give me a hard time if I try to pay for just the tip.

The CMs on the phone when I asked if I could use my gift card for tips!! They informed I could use my gift cards for anything on property including tips and I used it at the dayspa so they are taking anywhere for Disney!

Excellent! You are a wealth of information!!

The way I see it between me and you...we got all the questions answered LOL!!!

Wait till you see the light fixture pictures I took...especially the one taken...well you know where LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MegansMom]

The giftcard is a great idea. From now on, I think I am just going to ask for Disney gift cards for birthdays/whatnot!

 

[Diamondintheruff]

You did a great job on your countdown calendar!

Since I'm in the presence of such Disney greatness

The way I see it between me and you...we got all the questions answered LOL!!!

I have a question you might be able to answer.

When I go on my birthday in April I heard that Disney will give me the price of my park entry on a gift card. Do you think I would be able to use that for tips?

I'm really liking the idea. It's a lot less painless to put $20 here and there on a gift card then a big lump sum of cash.

I don't know if am I greatness princess but funny you should ask. I was just researching what you can use the Birthday Fun Gift Card for and this is what I found on allears.net

Q. What can I use the BFC for?
A. According to the official brochure, the BFC can be used for things like: Merchandise at Disney-owned locations, stroller, wheelchair and ECV rentals, certain recreational activities, the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, prepackaged food items like chips or candy at merchandise sales locations, Photopass services, golf cart rentals at Fort Wilderness, etc. When in doubt, ask first before trying to use your card for payment!

Q. What can't I use the BFC for?
A. According to the brochure, the BFC cannot be used for food or beverage service (accept as noted above), Disney gift cards, Disney Dollars, alcohol, cigarettes, resort folio charges, spa services or products, or personal services like face painting, caricatures, hair braiding or wrapping. In addition, the BFC may not be used at the following locations: the China, Japan, and Morocco pavilions at World Showcase, Arribas Brothers, Basin, Basin White, Cirque du Soleil, Curl by Sammy Duval, Ghirardelli, House of Blues, Hoypoloi, LEGO Imagination Center, Magic Masters, Magnetron, Niki Bryan Spas, Orlando Harley Davidson Store, Planet Hollywood, Rainforest Cafe, Richard Petty Driving Experience, Rubio Balloon Arts, SD Watersports, Sosa Cigar, Starabilias, Sunglass Icon, Surrey Bike Rental, Virgin Megastore, Wyland Galleries and any other locations or kiosks that are not owned and operated by Disney. Once again, when in doubt, ask first!

I'm kinda bummed you can't use it for meals. I want to know if you could use it for the Keys to the Kingdom tour or something like that but I think you have to prepay for that so probably not. I am going to do some more research and if I find out anything else I will get back to you.

I can't use it for food or alcohol? That really does suck. I guess I'll just be using it at the gift stores.

Isn't that really annoying!? I think it is.

 

[Sarilas]

It does stink about the cards having limitations on them; if we do end up going back in October I at least know it won't worry my daughter one little bit about HAVING to spend it in a store... poor girl.

 

[jenjolt]

I registered today at the Walt Disney Site...I just take my little barcode on my birthday and get their card...I'm so going to buy souvies with it LOL!!!! It's hilarious I was doing research on the card the same time LL was...not suprising she beat me to posting about it LOL...Love it!!!!
