Yikes!! We have a 5am flight in July (to Disneyland), so we don't need to be up quite that early, it will still be rough! My kiddos will be going on their first flights, so I doubt they'll get much rest. I've decided not to do the parks that first day, I have a feeling we'll all be in bed by 5pm PST!

That’s so exciting for their first flight! I am planning a full day EVERY day. This is a short 4 night trip. But since we get there so early in the morning I plan to take advantage of going to the park the day we arrive and the day we leave our flight from MCO doesn’t depart until 10 pm! That will be our latest departure
I am sure we will be exhausted, but I don’t care. I can sleep when I am at home.

My older child turns 17 this year. Ugh. I got clobbered by tax reform last year.

Same

No kids here. We got clobbered last year. I am nervous about filing this year because I made some significant portfolio moves. Basically taking the tax bite now vs. later but still. April probably won't fun this go 'round.

Looking for input on Coronado Springs resort! We have a quick weekend trip planned in March and are staying there. Cabanas or Casitas? Any tips?

Also looking for input on the Fairfield Inn MCO. Anyone stayed there?

What’s this about a dischurners sub on reddit? This thread moves way too fast! Can I get in?

I have some great news to share too!! A whole bunch of alerts went off on my phone and I discovered that Chase gave me some CLI love again!! CFU was nearly doubled and my Experian score shot up 38 pts!!!! Amazing to think I had to call the recon line to get approved for this card! Chase has been very good to me. I forgive them for laying me off during the 2008 financial crisis, lol.

Advise please:
I need UR’s for a Disneyland trip. Need about $4000 more for a dec 2020 trip, cashing them out.
I also need SW RR for flights, need about 100,000 more. Not sure weither to go for 2 SW (business) cards, could maybe make use of the SW CP, don’t want to mess with my 3/24. Or to go for cip’s for p1, and p2. Does anyone see a clear path for me? or other ideas on were I should be putting my spend? going to try to post on reddit. don't know if i have ever sucessfully done that.

DH and I currently only hold one amex plat between us.

There’s no magical way to get our second kid into the centurion lounge with us tomorrow, is there? I’m guess no and we’ll have McDonald’s for dinner down in the southwest terminal lol.

I wish they hadn’t changed it from your immediate family. I’m sure my 2 year old would eat nothing in there and insist on sitting in my lap the entire time lol.

I do not understand this. Let’s take away this credit 2 years before these parents start shelling out thousands for college... wut?

You may be in luck, under 2 is free. But this kind of wording always confuses me, is it < or <=?

Yes, I get lot's of offers on ours. A few I use, most are useless to me

You know this prompted me to go look at my Amex offers to see what I had that might be expiring. I completely forgot I had the Sam's offer for spend $30 online and get a $15 credit on 3 different cards. Just saved $45 on $150 worth of 4% off discounted Sam's Disney GCs. Thank you!

I also used the 10% back offer on my Chase Ink Plus up to $7.50 back at Office Depot. So, I bought a Disney GC and will get 5x on top of the 10%.

She’s not under two anymore, she’s actually 2 now. I’ve heard they ask for a lap infant boarding pass for an under two. And while she’s not big, I’m likely not passing her off as a one year old lol.

 

[tink1970]

Thanks to whomever posted about the Chase Hyatt offer. I had Hyatt House 15% off up to $45 on my Hyatt card and cancelled a points booking and snagged a reasonable cash offer for the same room but now with a 15% discount. Whoo hoo!

We stayed there two summers ago right after the renovations. The new rooms are super nice! I’m pretty sure we were in casitas and it was a little far from the lobby. We only requested it to be away from construction of the tower at the time

 

[LuckyMamaInDE]

Also seeking some hotel advice---has anyone stayed at the Hyatt House Lake Buena Vista?

We need one night (March 13) before our on-site stay, after dh visits clients in the Jacksonville area. I'd love to stay in the Disney Springs area but (1) I don't want to pay a resort fee and (2) I don't want to pay a parking fee

We just returned from our last minute Magic cruise, our 20th DCL cruise. Can I just say I cant wait for Virgin Voyages? I'm hoping their cruises are as good as they sound because their ships look beautiful! The service, food, overall vibe of this last DCL sailing was not what we're accustomed too. Time to diversify, like credit cards

 

[ten6mom]

@ten6mom just do 5 $1 debit purchases!

So, the checking account will come with a debit card and I just go use it for a candy bar 5 times or something? (making sure to add more than the exact $2500 or I'll go under)?

Darn, guess they do mean <2, not <=2. I feel like wording it as age one and under would be clearer, lol.

Because Chik FilA is high class?
