    Bending the rules

    Well, I believe in Karma, and I wouldn't try to cheat Disney. That makes them raise their prices just like shoplifting in stores. However, I do think it's feasible. I think your food credits are on your card and you can use them as you see fit. So, you would get to use the credits even if you...

    The Official Free Dining Watch 2007 Thread

    My TA informed me that free dining IS offered tomorrow. She forwarded me an official email she got announcing the free dining. If someone were to PM while I'm still online, I would forward it to you as well....

    *help* WCC(I know this doesn't belong here but I need help)

    I'm sure you can decline nicely if they ask you to gallop. I mean they aren't the mob. They aren't going to break your knee caps or anything if you don't. If it were me, I'd do it anyway to make my mom happy, but that's just me.

    Taking kids by myself...help me calm down, lol

    When I have several kids on my hands alone, I find that patience and planning are the keys. For one, enlist the help of the older child as your special helper. Kids who are 10 or so love to feel important, helpful and grown up. Second, be structured. Get one of those touring plans and tweak it...

    I think our trip is off....

    There are a lot of ways to save money. When I sat down and figured out our savings plan for Disney, I noticed that we spend a lot of money on weekends. We take our daughter shopping and to the movies and we eat out a lot. During the week, my daughter and I get bored and we go shopping, too. I...

    my dh does not know we are going to WDW

    I stand by what I said. I don't care what spin you put on it to rationalize what you are doing. You ARE hiding this from him. From my view of relationships, and I have a great one of almost 9 years, you are partners. You are a team. Your money is his money and vice versa. You should be able to...

    Ok, what food is everybody looking most forward to having on the Free DDP?

    I want to try the African food at Boma. We're getting my sister a birthday cake while there, and I cannot wait to try a Disney cake. I LOVE white chocolate mousse but do not eat dessert very often. A marble cake with white chocolate mousse would suit me just fine. Or maybe raspberry mousse...or...

    I think our trip is off....

    I think you can do Disney on a budget. Stay at a value resort during free dining season for example. Push your trip back a few months and try to save even $100 a week. September is 20 or so weeks away, you could save $2,000 which would definitely help pay for the trip. I think you can make it...

    my dh does not know we are going to WDW

    I, just in general, have problems with dishonesty and hiding things in a marriage. The fact that you can't sit down with him, disclose how much money you are making, discuss a Disney trip, show him how you can afford it, and make a savings plan together worries me.

    December 2007 Code Watch

    Subscribing, too. We were scheduled to go in May, but BOTH of our vehicles broke down this week! It's costing over $1,000 for both:( We don't want to go in the hot, crowded summer months, so June, July and August are out. We also don't want to go during hurricane season since we're driving...

    Animal Kingdom - okay, just a zoo...?

    We're actually going to AK 2 out of our 6 days at Disney. My daughter LOVES animals. We go to the zoo here in Nashville 3-4 times a week. We bought a membership as a way to save money for Disney. I thought I'd take her to the zoo instead of shopping or to the movies or out to dinner. I thought...

    Just can't talk DH into another trip...HELP!!!!!!!

    I don't know. If I only had $4000 in the bank and my husband was in school, I wouldn't be planning an expensive vacation. However, I would be willing to find the least expensive way to do Disney, come up with a realistic savings plan, and then present it to my husband. How long is your hubby in...

    Other guests who ruin the Magic...

    I'm hoping this is a joke. Breaking a shovel on a child is ABUSE. Look it up. Also, children do not respect people for hitting them. I had my fingers burned on the stove, I was burned with cigarettes, I had my hair pulled out, I was bitten, my grandmother would dig her nails into my face and...

    Latest ADR at Boma?

    I don't think it's necessary to make posts like this. She got the answers she was asking for. So what if she asked a question that could be answered somewhere else? Lots of people do. It's nice to interact with people and ask and answer questions. You say the info was updated 3 weeks ago. Does...
