Dd and I just watched Onward. We didn’t expect much and ending up loving it.

We watched it tonight too! I wasn't that thrilled but we enjoyed it!

Tonight must be Onward night. We watched it as well. We all enjoyed it.

Trying to avoid buying stuff on shop disney that I don't need as they are dust collectors and I don't have space for them. I did get the lounge pants and Small World ears I ordered last week today. Love the ears and only $15, which I kept thinking of @wendow as I was buying them and feeling bad cause I was getting them for half price. I love the ears and just couldn't with the price when the sequin headbands drive me nuts. But for half price I'll deal and they'll work at the Asian parks Though I do want to make myself 1 pair of ears for that trip but I want them to have something to do with visiting all 6 of the parks, I just can't figure out how to represent that. So if anyone has ideas I'm open to them

We can twin next time we meet

We watched it the day it started streaming and I was not expecting much at all but our fam all loved it! I loved the message so much!

I just received a SM from Chase at 10PM. 5 days ago I had requested an extension of my MSR period for the CIP I was approved for in March. They have extended my minimum spend time from 3 months to 6 months. I was originally supposed to complete the spend by June 14th, now I have until September 14th to complete the $5k spend. It actually brought tears to my eyes simply because I never expect to be given any favors, and this one is much appreciated.

It's the little things these days that can bring such joy! Glad Chase accommodated you!

Can I ask- how did you word the request?

 

[Delite]

Minecraft Con tix are coded as bonus. Don't understand why. I guess that's considered travel? Is all entertainment code that way on Cip. Got concerts I'd travel for...

I called chase cruises right at 9am ET.

Is anyone else not stocking up on as many Disney GCs ?
We have $1,200, now and I was planning on using the Lowe’s 10% off with Amex BBP cards to purchase $2k more before 6/30.

Now I’m not sure if the 2 planned trips to visit our son will happen and if they do how much time/money we would spend in Disney. Our DVC dues will be aprox. $2,200 on 1/15/2021 and I would rather use a Chase card for the URs since they are more valuable to us.

Discover has warehouse clubs as one of the 5% categories this quarter that just started and usually I jump on that whenever I can to get Disney GCs from BJs but I just don’t know. Part of me is still a bit scarred from the theft situation a few months ago even though it was resolved and I ultimately didn’t lose money. And another part of me is almost too depressed to contemplate it with so much still unknown, even though our canceled May trip is being put off a whole year, and we decided on a dream GF RPC/Poly CL split with the extra time we have to save.

I just got an email from my hair salon saying we miss you and call and make an appointment. What a tease! It must be autogenerated. My hair misses you too!!

I have a small stock of Disney gift cards. I had considered using the Amex offer for more but got a generator at Lowe’s instead. It wasn’t as much fun but we will have it if we need it.

I haven’t bought any lately. I had enough saved for all of our food and miscellaneous for our trip for 4 people for March, plus at least half enough for our DVC dues. So those will either all go for dues or for us to use in either November or next March depending if we go on either of those trips. So no, not going to buy anymore in the near future. But I do plan to buy again later.

I just bought a bulk order from BJs in Jan and wasn’t planning on buying anymore soon. Was planning on using those for our spend at Aulani trip in July and put deposit down on a cruise for summer 2021. If either or both of those end up not happening, I’ll have plenty to last me awhile.

Not changing my overall strategy, but may impact the timing due to increased inventory than originally planned.

I don’t know if anyone is still looking at the meme thread on the community board. This made me laugh. Then I felt bad for laughing.

(Hope I’m not violating our rule)

Well,I took your advice and did the same.... I got right thru- but I'm booked on Carnival,and she had to call them to ask policy...she said their policy is I booked a non refundable deposit,which = $800...and so I'd forfeit that if I canceled without any sort of waiver. She recommended calling back closer to PIF date to see if they'd issued a statemtn about my dates by then. So I guess I paid the entire cruise cost (not taxes and fees) at time of booking(?) Is this sounding like the right info?
Anyway.... it's all points,so the most I'll lose is that amount in points. (I don't like the idea but whatever,I won't be going on a cruise) That plus the extra gc I will hang onto and hopefully be able to resell at a later time ( I know plenty of people will still want to cruise at some point)

 

[LuckyMamaInDE]

Yep same here. About 2 weeks ago when it was hitting hard that pretty much everything we had planned was getting cancelled I had a small break down at the super table and just cried. My husband asked me today how I was feeling about it all. I told him I was fine, that 2 weeks ago I had hope we could salvage the vacations and now I know there is no hope, so not going to dwell on it. I'm just going to throw myself into other house and work projects.

Edited to add: That sounds dark, but It is more of I've mourned the loss and am ready to move on.

You all will need to hold me up if we have to cancel the Sept Australia trip.

I haven't purchased any in a month. I have enough on hand to pay for dining and one special event (dessert party or similar) should we be able to go at the holidays/January. I would need to get some more for our DVC dues if we aren't able to go then. Oodles of time.

My overall spending has really gone down. We are getting takeout once a week, for which I over tip, but that and groceries and the odd amazon purchase are way below my usual spending.

College dd really needs sneakers but how the heck do you order shoes without trying them on? Her perfectly good sneakers are sitting in her on-campus apartment along with the rest of her shoes, and she has no idea what brand they are. She has a very high instep which means many shoes don't fit at all. Funny story---when she was packing to come home for spring break (before the uni announced kids would be home for an additional two weeks), she remembered all the important things except shoes other than the boots on her feet

Hi All. I've been a member of the DIS a long time, but I don't post here much. This thread caught my eye. I don't have any specific questions, just saying "HI" for now and subscribing. Hoping to learn from all of you. Thanks for the thread!

I don't think I've bought shoes in a store in ages. I use shoes.com, nordstrom, Dick's sporting goods, Nike, Amazon, etc. Most of them do free return shipping. So you could buy a few pairs and return what doesn't work.
