The easiest way is the shopping portal and doesn't cost you anything.
Except what I buy LOL, I didn't see any place I would be shopping anytime soon. Is there something you have as a go to that's cheap and easy through there?
I love your trip reports! From getting there to where you stay to the sites, thanks for letting us tag along.
We walked over to Boardwalk from Swan last time. TBH I don't like the Mears buses to any of the parks but MK is the worst. Before park hopping was taken away sometimes we walked thru EPCOT, stopped in France for a snack then went to the entrance to catch the monorail. Of course that doesn't work for rope drop but at least real park hopping is back.
Absolutely. I had no idea that it had changed when it happened to us. A Mears bus picked us up but I assumed it was super busy or some Disney buses were down or something weird. But when the bus stopped in the lot for TTC, I was like What?! Took me about 2 seconds to decide never to do that again. Boardwalk bus it is.
Yes, the Venture X. Between DW's and my cards, we've actually used them to pay for four replacement screens.
Would like to know as well. Reconsidering the Miracosta.
You can check out my trip report from a few years back, but we definitely preferred the DLH Beauty and the Beast room over the Mira Costa. We didn't have the Venice view, though.
We have the Hilton booked but considering switching to the Disneyland hotel or Miracosta. I like that the Disneyland hotel has a convenience store for snacks or quick breakfast. The Miracosta doesn’t have that. We’re looking at maybe doing the grand park view at the Disneyland hotel.
What was your view at the Miracosta? I’m wondering if the Venice view is worth it or if we should try the Disneyland hotel instead (assuming we can’t get harbor view)
I’ve had a lousy time lately and literally did that
Luckily for me it’s a solo tip visiting a friend so NBD compared to most of those here. I’m using airline points with a combo of bank bonuses. Moments like this remind me it’s nice to have that Bank Bonus stash to compliment the points laying around!A summer home in CHICAGO? With that humidity?
It will be blasted across the blogosphere if it changes. For now walk to YC/BWI or MV to MK. I decided it’s rather a draw between walking to YC/BWI and taking Swolphin or rideshare transport to TTC personally. If I wanna save time I shell out the dough for a MV.
That’s a negative to both. I’ll stick with option: Neither …until the ground shakes and I wonder “is this the one?… Bleep, bleep, I hope not!!!… oh yay it stopped… is the coffee shop line really that long? Don’t they know we basically almost just died in an earthquake?! Uh, yeah? 1 Latte please…”
My brother got married last year and seeing what my parents shelled out even for a mid level wedding-
you need more MSR.Alaska is fine (when they keep their doors on but UA had the same unknown threat
). It’s like flying UA except no seat back entertainment pretty much. Personally I’d just book on cash whichever is cheapest now. I’d be too worried about the “Taylor Swift affect” cities talk about when she comes to town and it rains money on them to play games with gathering points hoping availability is still there once I had the points.Nope. They don’t care. It’s not a personal convo, you’re a reply on a list until they punch out.
Concur. It’s not like there is some max exodus from Swolphin, or even a steady stream, of guests to BWI/YC first thing in the morning for MK buses.
Got 7-10 day message when I app'd for biz card, so I didn't go for the personal right away. Didn't call recon and just waited it out on biz card. Ended up getting a letter late last week that it was approved - they moved credit line from another biz card to open it. Just app'd for Priority today and was instantly approved.
I immediately sent a SM requesting the card to be expedited and a separate SM asking Chase to please match the currently available SUB of $900 from her current SUB of $750. 
This was our view, which was pretty cool:
Hmm, I may be interested in this card instead of the Barclays Aviator... but I've never had Alaska miles before. We do fly American a lot, and we may be flying Singapore or Qatas later this year. I see all 3 are partners(?) of Alaska. Can you transfer miles to these programs specifically, or does Alaska show availability for all their partners and you book direct through them? It's a very tempting offer.
Thanks for sharing! I showed ds a picture of a grand park view room at the Disneyland hotel and he was super excited about seeing the monorail and castle so I think we’re gonna try to book that.
