    Funny Memes

    Is the “joke in every wrapper” that you’re supposed to believe it’s banana flavor?? j/k, I love banana laffy taffy (more than I like actual bananas 😁)

    Hagrid’s “Express” Line?!

    I am quite short, so the bike is uncomfortable for me. I go through the regular line via disability pass and am nearly always a single rider (either by myself or my group is odd numbers), and the single rider is always thrilled to get the bike.

    Tickets and Annual Pass Questions - Please add your ticket questions to this thread

    You might need to modify your current 4 day tix to be 6 (good for 9 days, ex Nov 1-9), 7 (good for 10 days, ex Nov 1-10) or 8 (good for 12 days, ex Nov 1-12) day tickets, depending on your date configurations, but any of those would likely be cheaper than buying additional 1-2 day tickets.

    Are you done borrowing yet?

    Yes. I use the rent/trade board to find folks with points to transfer. There's quite a few rules involved (can't transfer banked points but you can bank transfers points...single transfer per use year, etc). I've always done a paypal transfer and then member services gets called. I usually have...

    Are you done borrowing yet?

    I tend to hunt down some transfer points every 2-3 years. That way I don't have to buy another contract to fix my problem, and it often helps out another owner who has extra points for whatever reason. It also allows me to get 11 month priority (even if I usually have to call) at resorts that I...

    what would you do--grandkids and christmas gifts

    I would leave it as is and not worry about it, unless you don't plan to do something similar for the younger kids when they are saving for cars.

    I am fascinated/jealous of work from home people!

    I work for the federal government; my job can absolutely be done completely from home. I hired in just as COVID was starting, did 3 days of orientation, went back the same week for a computer issue (we got sent home with circa 2013 desktops that VHA didn't want anymore), then 3 months later to...

    The Intersection of FIRE and Disney

    Definitely only looking to have no money when I die if I have already given the kids most of what they would have inherited. But, also not wanting to leave them a crazy amount. My FIRE philosophy changed considerably when I moved positions at work about 18 months ago. Now that I love my job, I'm...

    Issue with Financial Planner--looking for thoughts/input

    Another significant concern is the distinct possibility that, if they can't get your deposits right, that they aren't handling the tax withholding correctly either....

    How many hours do you work in a week on average?

    I'm a civil servant. At my agency, we have a set "tour" that we work, but my position frequently has mandatory overtime, so I work an average of 90 hours every 2 weeks (just for clarity, that's 90 hours in a 2 week pay period, usually 40 hours one week and 50 the next).

    Spirit vs southwest

    I attempted to fly Frontier a couple of times for the savings, however they canceled and/or changed the flights so that they didn't work for us, and I ended up paying even more for Southwest than I would have had I just booked them in the first place. I stopped looking at Frontier altogether...

    In theory, it will use whatever your park pass for the day is tied to.

    DVC Annual Pass

    In the past, a not yet active voucher could be used to reserve a room with the discount, but you had to have an active pass by the time you checked out in order to pay the discounted pass holder rate. You also would not get any other discount without the active pass.

    DVC Annual Pass

    I got an e-mail that had my dates on it, and I was able to go into the app under "my profile" (hit the 3 lines at the bottom, scroll down past the tiles for things like future plans, tickets, etc. "My profile" was the first thing in the list of everything that didn't get a tile. Click on that...

    DVC Annual Pass

    As an FYI, at least 3 people have reported getting vouchers good until 2099 on their purchases today. Not everyone, though, so maybe not something to gamble on (but an interesting data point nonetheless).

    ANNUAL PASSES ARE BACK!!!

    Mine was a ticket upgrade (5 day hoppers that weren't the military salute, but undated MYW purchased from SOG in July 2022, due to expire in Jan 2024), mine show 2099. The poor girl I got did not know what she was doing (she said I was her first DVC upgrade) but when I was very (politely)...

    ANNUAL PASSES ARE BACK!!!

    Exactly what I'm looking to do....did you have 5 day hoppers and can you share the upgrade price per ticket (approx is better than I have now). Thanks!
