I love credit cards so much!

Our Spring Break is a pathetic 2 days. The Fri and Mon at Easter since it is state mandated. Can’t wait until next year with private school and having an actual Spring Break. Although we might not be able to afford to travel with the expense of tuition.

DD was in private school from 2nd-8th grade. I used to say the time attended was inversely proportional to amount spent so by the time she was in 8th grade they had time off for everything. So, you may well get your wish!

Holy moly there is alot of chatting here today. Love it!

I am about to do the amazon deal...was about to buy Panera, but is there anything I could use at Disney instead?

They have landry's gift cards for yak and yeti, trex, RFC.

Oh my goodness, this is so true. One of the private schools here that a lot of kids we know go to is constantly off school. I swear. It's crazy. I have to complete x number of days as a homeschooler, which about the same as the public school kids in our state, but these private school kids must have a much smaller number of required contact days. They close every time there is a flake of snow, any kind of holiday, etc. Yet, they start later than the public schools and get out at about the same time. They have all the same breaks + some.

Wow! It was the opposite here. The public schools had 1 half day every week and so many days off, and my DD was in school all the time, no half days, longer days, etc. I'm not sure how it's all decided, but we had a tough time traveling with her when she was in school, esp. HS (but at that point the tuition meant we couldn't travel anyway). I will say that her friends in one of the private HSs seemed to have more time off than school days.

@Lain is everywhere. Making notes on his spreadsheet.

In NY any schools that get state aid have to be in school a certain number of days....my kids for HS went to a private prep school on a full ride because the school wanted them for ice hockey...since the school didn’t get state aid they were off a lot more than the public and catholic schools.....may work the same where you live

Oh I forgot yak n yeti is landry's! Off to amazon...

That's exactly what I did with the last MR/Amazon deal! I got the Landry's egiftcard and printed it out. Worked fine at Yak and Yeti.

When I wanted a couple ADRs 2 years ago, I couldn’t get either no matter when I checked. I was checking from the parks and hotel up until 11 pm night before and then morning of. I rarely make ADRs but last year made 4 which we decided was too many. I never have luck with last minute ADRs

We’ve never had luck with last minute adrs either. Now FPS we’ve had pretty good luck with

@Judique How is your dd and her family doing? Been thinking about them still.

They are coming along. DD is scheduled for her broken leg surgery next Tuesday and once that's resolved they plan to fly home unless there are any other complications. Thanks for asking!

Funny, we are doing the opposite, private school for 8th-12th. I’ve already been checking out their calendar for this year. They have late start Wed every week where they go an hour later but get out at the same time. They do start school a week earlier than the public school but get out a week before the public schools. They don’t have off for the Jewish holidays though. I am most looking forward though to no PARCC testing. DS’s major complaint is learning just to take a test and then it’s just test after test because they have county assessments, days and days of PARCC testing. It’s just utterly ridiculous.

If you were to apply for the SW 50,000 point offer from the flight link would you use the one on DOC or one posted on Reddit? The landing pages look different for each link which makes me nervous!

Ugh..unsure they should be the same..but I think I’d trust DOC over random reddit posters links

 

[kidsfirsttrip]

Amazon sells Landry's cards. You can use 1 MR and get $30 off an order of $60 or more on Amazon. Third party GC's work for this offer. Here are the details from DoC:

Haha I posted that deal!
Was talking about the $25 on your bday I think. And isn’t there something about not needing a reservation?

im the opposite because redditors do post if they were successful or not. im not sure if DoC link has ppl commenting that.

Sure wish I got state aid since I have to do the same number of school days as those who get state aid

There should be some data points. I commented on DoC when I was successful in December

Great good call on the individual account. My vanilla gc won’t load. Which ones do you have luck with?

US Bank MCGCs work as debit. I believe the Blackhawk VGCs are supposed to work too. Vanilla VGCs don’t work.

My thought was what if someone just posted a link for their card where they got the referral credit....by the time anyone knows your out of luck

 

[disneymagicgirl]

I might take your 28th one. What time is it at? We land that day at 3 pm and have MK DAH.

It is at 6:05. I just won't know which one I am keeping until 1/21 when we find out her schedule. If I drop the 28th one I will coordinate with you!
