:offtopic: I want to pull my hair out!!! Obviously, it's FP booking day. To my surprise! I checked just in case I could snag the first day's worth since we have arrival night at CSR but tomorrow was supposed to be the main FP booking day for the next 3 nights of the trip (BC) of my fam's Nov trip. Went on today and all 3 of our back to back stays are eligible for FP booking. That's absolutely not how it worked last year! Seizing the opportunity I just spent 90 mins making 4 days worth of FP (CL FP for the other days thank God). 90 mins for FOUR DAYS BECAUSE THEIR TECHNOLOGY IS SO CRAP. And I had my bag of tricks, I may not have been totally mentally prepped to do this today but I had my computer, my alternate browser and my iphone working on this mess. DISNEY I KNOW THERE IS A FP FOR LIVING WITH THE LAND 65 DAYS FROM NOW BETWEEN 10-10:30 AM. I KNOW IT'S THERE YOU $#&*%&$#!!* MACHINE SO SHOW ME :headache:

...good thing I leave for a solo vacation to wdw tomorrow. I need a break from this nonsense :rolleyes1
I just booked our FP today too!!!! Maybe we will be able to meet up and say hey!
 
I am so happy you got the FP+ for the entire trip! Booking them has really gotten bad. I have been having the same issue where it only shows 3 times for the entire day. It takes a lot of weird maneuvering and manipulation to get it "perfect!"
I had a couple times where I selected a like 9am FP and the confirmation page was like “confirm your 2:35pm FP”- WHAT?! I feel really bad for newbies. And the 3 time thing was really annoying!

Exactly, I couldn't figure that out. I haven't been since March so it feels like a long time since I booked any. Finally, I used the drop down menu to pick specific times I wanted.
 
My plan was to do Discovery Cove/Sea World next February on a school break, but for the past few months Discovery Cove is not showing up on the UR Portal past 12/31. So we will probably just change that trip to Universal. Well yesterday I was able to book SW for 12/26-12/31 for cheap. I'm not sure I'll even keep it, but my question is how busy is SeaWorld during that time? I think DC would be ok because I think they do limit to amount of tickets they sell. We really enjoyed our trip to SeaWorld, but a huge part of that was being able to ride all the rides with less than a 10 minute wait. This was in March and we found the crowds at our one day at Disney and even traffic and the outlets way too busy for our liking. But SeaWorld was great. Has anyone been to SeaWorld during Christmas break?
My only concern would be if it is warm enough in late Dec to really enjoy DC. I haven’t been to SW at Christmas but we were there on Thanksgiving Day last year and it wasn’t busy at all. I love staying at one of SW resorts to get the free card for one front of the line at all of the major rides except the Falls and the dining discount. When we were there for Thanksgiving it was chilly like jeans and sweater but we did see some people going to Aquatica. No thank you.
 
Has anybody used the "Plan It" feature on their AMEX card? I believe @Judique maybe? Did it affect your credit score that you are aware of? Any other possible negative ramifications? I have the offer for 10 free plans, no service charge, no fees. Why not float my money and earn a little more interest for the next 9 months!
 
The instant approval CIP!!! Now that's worth celebrating :D :D 105k URs, here you come!!!

Seriously! Would love to know what Chase's algorithm is for instant approval on the biz cards. Between DH and me, we have (or have had) 7 Chase biz cards, and not a one of them has been through an instant approval. But never been denied either. DH's latest CIP app was the quickest yet for a non-instant approval. Applied yesterday morning, automated status line was at 2 weeks a few hours later and yesterday end of day, and he was approved as of this morning. Just mystifying to me what criteria Chase uses for instant approval vs. "we need more time."

The chase site has USO tickets where you can get park to park tix with the third park free. Florida in December temps are likely warm enough that my little one will want to be in the pool/at a water park but cold enough that I will not!!! Not sure the "free" add on of Volcano Bay is going to be on any value (and lets just hope my little one doesn't read the fine print on our tickets!)

No. I've never used it but they keep offering it to me. I'm not interested.

Yes, I forgot about it picking random times! It even claimed it overlapped existing FP+. Why is this happening?! It is seriously infuriating! I use multiple incognito/private browsers and devices just to get what I need done. I could easily see how a first timer would be completely lost.
 
Actually Dh just started watching arrested development. I don’t really like it. I might have to try schitts creek. Is there any nudity in it?
@Haley R be all like... if there is nudity, count me IN!
