A few years ago, my family and I stayed in Paris and took the train to DLP. I think it's best for people who want to spend one day there. If you want 2 or more, I'd consider staying on property. The train was easy though - it dropped us off right at downtown Disney near the entrance to both...

Thanks so much. We only need 2 seats which could make it a tiny bit easier, but I've never booked to Japan and it's kind of overwhelming. Europe is so easy for me by comparison. I really appreciate your advice.

I'm doing a bit of travel thinking today and I'd love a few recommendations on Japan (considering it for our next big trip). Anyone want to share preferred airlines and hotels booked on points? I know a lot of you have gone and I've taken notes, but thought maybe someone has a bit of advice to...

The flight credits are easy for me to use. Between multiple Plat credits and a couple of Aspires I have enough in there to get a flight or two out of it. The FNCs are working well for me this year (I think we ended up with 4 and already have those nights booked at resorts which will also give...

Same here. I thought it would be too hard, but so far I've been able to get great rooms for those FNCs and as long as I can use UTB I'm good with the airline credits.

Amex gold is great if you spend a lot on groceries and dining, but only if you think the MRs are useful.

The points weren't showing up.

No, I have the card. Still working on the MSR for it. In the past they have counted the taxes for MSR purposes. It's not in their list of things that don't qualify. I know people have been able to push it through but I really don't feel like fighting with them.

If anyone has current info on a tax payment not working with AMEX, can you please send it my way. FM just said it wouldn't be a problem, but it seems like I'm the unlucky one this time.

Is there a reason for this new Lion King attraction? Are more characters coming? Honestly I think I have enough Lion King in my park as it is.

nvm. I found a list online.

I see there is new content today. At least this time it's characters from a movie I've seen. Archimedes and Madame Mim from Sword in the Stone.

DH has been flying SW a lot for work and he books biz select whenever possible (of course we aren't paying for those flights). It really does make things easier when you're A1 instead of Bx, but we mostly fly United domestically because we prefer to know where we are sitting, etc. Whether it's...

The prices change all the time. Lately, the cars we have rented have gone down in price closer to our travel dates. Also, sometimes we see certain categories dropping and not others (an upcoming stay has SUVs cheaper than Intermediate sedans which isn't usual).

Just want to say that I'm sorry you're going through this right now. I know how difficult it is.

I feel like such a MK slacker when I read your updates. :rotfl:

Chiming in to say that my family felt the same. We enjoyed the HP part of both parks, but just didn't really like the rest of them. We did a split stay with a much longer WDW trip and were ready to leave US after one day. It's funny, because we went to US in CA a few years ago and we enjoyed...

That's what I did and I eventually found appointments for me, DH, and DD all within the same week but not on the same day. (in other words, we had to go to the airport and pay for parking 3 times). :headache: Now you can also do the interview upon arrival which would take up far less of your...

You explained this really well. I feel like I have to stay at a Hyatt much of the time, but I also have a bunch of Hilton FNCs that I really want to use at high-end places. I think we are going for it again this year since DH has been traveling for work, but that's almost over and I'm not sure...

I see the same thing. So glad I went on the Norway/Iceland/Scotland cruise back when it included Scotland (and now they aren't even going to Iceland) and I'm so glad I found the 9nt Med & Greece cruise when it wasn't a RT itinerary. I think that placeholder I have is going to expire because I...
