    Budget..... I'm in shock right now... (rant of an old person here)

    I was genuinely shocked by the price myself but shouldn't have been surprised. When I was pondering the idea of a spontaneous trip and inviting my mom I told her to expect about $350-$400 for park tickets :laughing: I was off by over $100 for a 4 day ticket. It's still ending up to be a really...

    SO overwhelmed by the number of ships to choose from

    Did you look at Liberty? It does Western Caribbean 7 night sailings out of Galveston. Same class as Independence. We're doing this itinerary in November.

    Price dropped again!

    So I booked two rooms for our cruise for our family of 5. Our Ultra Spacious Promenade View room was sold out but still plenty of balcony rooms available. Occasionally I'll check that balcony price. Well sure enough it went down in price so I called my TA to reduce the price. While she did...

    A Whole Trip With "Found Money"? A Savings Journal.

    I would add 30% to all Disney related costs now to account for (Disney) inflation.

    On Property vs. Renting a house

    Ahhh got it. Thanks for clarifying! I was going to say - yikes, those rooms are expensive! We've never stayed at Disney for more than $200 and that includes AKL a few years ago. We're either at the parks or in the pool so space and kitchen are not necessary unless it's substantially cheaper.

    On Property vs. Renting a house

    Sorry to hijack the thread but where do you all get these rates for Wyndham Bonnet Creek? The dates I was just possibly thinking of taking a trip is substantially more than any Value Disney Hotel and a little more expensive than the Moderates as well. We still qualify for a 4 person room since...

    On Property vs. Renting a house

    Do you have to stay at a Deluxe if you stay at Disney? Can you try a Moderate or Value? Do you have to make this a budget trip or are you just not finding the value in staying at Disney? Do you have to cook most of your meals or are you just going to do it because you'll have a kitchen? For me...

    Did they blame them for the beverage package fiasco as well? :rolleyes1

    Alaska 2021 ??

    Interesting. Why make a big announcement that they're completely open to book when they're not? Thought it was maybe me that just couldn't locate the itineraries :upsidedow

    Alaska 2021 ??

    I am anxious as well! We haven't sailed RCCL yet but have one booked for next November but Western Caribbean. We're in So Cal and flights to Seattle and Vancouver are relatively similar. I'd much rather spend a little more and go to Vancouver rather than Seattle. We got a quote with NCL and...

    Spirit Airlines experiences?...should I avoid?

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-spirit-makeover-complaints-profits-20190614-story.html%3f_amp=true They hear you, folks. I've always been hesitant myself but when the flight and price are right, I won't hesitate to use them in the future.

    DBP too good to be true?

    I snagged the "deal" myself. I'm not much of a drinker either (might have 1 cocktail a day) but I liked the idea of not having to worry about how much I was spending on drinks every day (maybe I wanted a second soda or an iced coffee for breakfast and a couple bottled waters for excursions). Now...

    Online Savings Accounts?

    Just opened one up a couple weeks ago. Everything went smoothly once they verified my identity (we recently moved so our address was different than the one on file and our I.D.). A couple days after the money was deposited the $200 bonus showed up in our account. We also opened one up with...

    Disney Gift Card Deals

    Hey all! Haven't chimed in for awhile now but check in every once in a while. Forgive me if this is a silly question but are Disneyland tickets coded as merchandise or gift cards at Target? I guess I'm essentially asking if they can be bought with a Target gift card?

    OBB or Onboard Bookings, please school me.

    So with OBB, travel agent gets full commission. Do TAs usually offer perks on top of OBBs? Is there still that possibility that TAs can adjust your rate if a better offer comes out and still get the other perks?

    Disney Gift Card Deals

    I've been buying Target gift cards at 10%+ lately and it makes me miss the combo Red Card plus gift card deals :guilty: I'm one that is loyal to Target as it's convenient and I find good deals for things I need (we don't have a warehouse store very close) and no Aldi or inexpensive grocery. We...

    Liberty of the Seas Report 12-24 through 1-31

    I know this is an older post but glad to hear good things about Liberty! We sail her next year. I'm a little skeptical because she'll be getting a refurb a couple months later but hoping for the best!
