Funny posts!
Although in all seriousness, I have never seen the explosion on GMR. We always get the cowboy/mobster bit. Where is it usually staged? I actually enjoyed it this year, when we had an 8 yr old with us who happened to be at the end of the row on the left side of the car next to the Aliens slime...and BOY were his eyeballs HUGE!
To be young again...
(And to those who's credit card statements are a bit shocking, have you looked into the Visa Rewards? We got our cruise for half, used those rewards to discount our park tickets, got 6 months no interest on all our on board expenses and excursions, used those rewards for dinner at Brown Derby, and then still had more rewards stepping off the cruise at Epcot.
I totaled up both of my accounts (premier and non premier), added up the gift cards (incentives for opening the accounts totaling $250 for both during 2013), adding up the On Board Credit last year, even took out the $49 annual fee for the premier card, and all the rewards for both amounted to $933 and some change. Not to mention that the six months interest free adds up to some interest savings, as time equals money.
I also got my free character photos and prints, and some discounts on other photos I bought. (Some dining is discounted along with stuff bought in the stores, if I had had time.)
In just over a year of using the cards, $933 off of our land and sea trip definitely helped us. We opened the free card at the end of Mar 2013, opened up the premier in Nov 2013, and by May 10, we had been able to take that much off of awesome Disney trip. Every little bit helps!
