If you're doing the Crest/Oral-B deal at Wags be very careful with the tb. They must've changed the barcode on it, too, and the dq didn't come off and the RR didn't print. It was at an unfriendly store so I decided that calling customer service was a better option but they can no longer issue W Cash in place of the RR and told me that I needed to call Catalina. I draw the line at calling a 3rd party that I didn't buy the item from so I'm going to refund it. I wasn't happy that Wags tracks the # that you're calling from and told me what my account balance was. It really is 1984.

This was probably the worst transaction I've done at Wags in over 10 years. Even if it had worked perfectly it would've been horrible. I didn't use any boosters and the only RR items were Colgate and Crest. The other items were things I needed but didn't earn anything on. I can't believe that of all the transactions to have a problem with it was this one because of the toothbrush. I checked the toothpastes and had to get a $4 one because the $3 one had the wrong barcode but I didn't know that it was also an issue with the toothbrush. I haven't been shopping much at Wags (or anywhere) recently. It was my first transaction in probably a month. No sale anymore and I'm back to walking everywhere.

for those of you that have the sams plus membership, did you get the email about the changes coming soon? i think they are terrible and will not be renewing my card.
you will have to spend $50 to get free shipping.
i do not live close enough to get the same day delivery, but they are offering that for free with a $50 purchase.

My neuropathy keeps on getting worse and it's unsafe for me to drive because I lose feeling in my right foot and can't feel the gas and brake pedals. I took a bad fall down the stairs a couple of weeks ago when I lost feeling in my right foot and missed the step.

Yeah, in the beginning of it, all the new apps were fun for me too. Now, its just too much trouble for my tired ole brain.
I know you're very successful at paper and digital, especially at Wags. I applaud you vigorously! You and Valencia are my guides who I follow on that thread.
Have fun my friend

What the best way you have found for entry tickets? Interested in 3 days for 5 adults, 2 kids. Maybe Parkhopper if the premium isnt too much.

Looking at the three days before Easter next year, which was unfortunately during blackout for military discounts this year so I am anticipating the same next year....snip...
We don't go in the parks every day so that is one way to save money. Last summer and this summer there was/is a ticket deal for 4 days. You get a ticket to each park for a day, around $100 a day. But you can't go to one park multiple times. A lot was closed in Hollywood Studios so it was bleh.

Sometimes there are special nighttime events that are cheaper and less crowded and fun.

You probably want a more traditional visit though, I don't have any good advice for that.

I missed your post about falling down the stairs. Sorry that sh*t happened to you. I remember you walked for a while to do your shopping, but you started driving again. Wish it could have stayed that way for you.

I actually like walking so it's not that bad except for the lack of fast food within walking distance. McDonalds, Arby's, Taco Bell, Wendy's, KFC, Burger King, Jack in the Box, and a really good local burger joint are all 2 miles away. Domino's and Panda Express are 3 miles away. Chipotle is a mile away but it's straight uphill. Vons and 7-11 are really close. CVS and Wags are 2 miles away. Target is 2 1/2 miles and Wal Mart is 3 miles. There are a lot of local Mexican places but I haven't had good luck with them. Ralphs is a 3 mile walk. I'm talking each way not round trip so if I want Panda I'm walking 6 miles.

This will be for my 50th and we are also doing a cruise. I want to hit Animal Kingdom, The Magic Kingdom and Epcot (for Flower and Garden). We found a pretty great house nearby so that is taken care of for us.

Do you know how far out the night parties get announced? Been reading up on Disney for awhile but there is so much to learn.

I do swag bags when I organize these sorts of destination parties. I already have the cutest Vera Disney backpacks for the adult girls. I am looking at cute smaller sequined mouse ear backpacks for the little girls. We are all apple watch people so I have found some nice bands for everyone (we can use our Apple watches instead of getting park bands, correct?). Will probably do sunglasses for everyone too if I can find coordinating ones we will all like. Any other recommendations for park day stuff that you always make sure to have with you but they might not think to pack?

THank you!

Your trip sounds like a lot of fun! You are much more organized than we are so I don't really have advice. We are going to one of the night events but I don't know how far out they post them. He loves looking at that stuff and planning it so he does all that. You're probably right with the Apple watches but we just use the magic bands.

Leaving today and sister in law is coming over to pet sit. It will be extremely hot but it's insanely hot here too.

Make sure you get your birthday button. BTW, you CAN put half century on it.

New Nestle rebate [snipp.us], spend $40, get $20 virtual Visa

RA appears to have survived it's bankruptcy hearing/court date yesterday. It will be in controlled by the lenders, however.

I was so excited about the rebate until I scrolled through the list. Even with SO many pages, I don't know if there's $40 worth of stuff we eat I could justify buying. Frown
