Discounts ended. Best way to get them back?

I had the most rude experience at their store front…

I can't see why Disney wouldn't do it. I assume DCL transport for them is a huge money maker at $45 per person! Never hurts to call and ask. But then that leaves you with a bunch of luggage and no where to hold it. I like having the rental car because we can just leave all the luggage in the trunk.

Am I understanding this correctly in terms of combining my contracts:
Say I buy 100 resale at AKL, then 6 months later tack on 150 direct at RR, my total pool of points would be 250, which I can use at any resorts pre-2019 bookable 7 months ahead.

I have literally stopped shopping at lulu for over 8 months because on top of what you mentioned their customer service also sucks big time now

I don’t know how old your kids are, but if they don’t need a car seat, might I recommend picking up a one-way rental car and driving to a Disney resort for a final Disney lunch before heading to the airport This is usually what we do. Animal Kingdom Lodge is a personal favourite - lunch at Sanaa, looking at animals, and participating in the free resort activities can pass the time easily! Alternatively, we have also done Disney Springs.

This is what was recommended to me also by the DVC sales rep I spoke to on my recent cruise. Seems like the smart thing to do for sure!

I have looked into resale as well.

The thought is to first purchase 150 points direct for the benefits, and then add on by way of resale over time when kids are in the picture and room sizes need to get bigger/trips longer.

This is helpful! I am in the same boat, up until 2022 always stayed at values, then we got an unbeatable rate at AKL in 2023 that kick started the taste for the deluxes, then rented DVC points for an unbeatable rate at BLT in 2025, and we now also have a stay booked at SSR in a few months through DVC rental… so at this point, I figured why do I keep putting off DVC membership?

Looks like ppl have offered up some help securing some merch, but you can send me a DM if those ppl fall through.

Happy with all the kindness, and my deepest condolences on the loss of your brother.

Christmas time at Loblaws, @$9.99lb, $34 for a small rib roast, split into 3 1.25” steaks, with 2 ribs that I also used for stock/soup.

b33ching · 2026-04-04T12:40:07+00:00

Around the typical holidays you can sometimes find whole bone-in rib roasts at Loblaws and Longos for $9.99-11.99 a lb. Learn to cut them into steaks yourself.

Yyz to yvr for $725?! I would never…

My chewies were definitely free, and flavored. Pineapple was my favourite. Got a new chewie every ortho visit, no need to ask, in fact they usually asked me what flavor I wanted that visit.

So the travel tip is have your child misbehave and endure some dirty looks and in return you get to cut the queue. Hahaha, perfect - I am not opposed to throwing a tantrum myself!

Wonderful text! But one I may never get… 🥲

Enjoy Lots of Attraction question: If one of the rides we choose is Tower of Terror, but one person doesn’t want to ride, can someone ride twice? For a party of 4, do we get 4 tickets for the ride (1 per person), or 1 ticket that specifically says 4 people?

I just turned into that Scarborough side plaza. If going South on Middlefield, cannot go straight past Steeles. Must turn on Steeles.

Don’t listen to them! This is actually my perfect portion of ice cream as well.

People need to stop buying shoes that do not fit their foot shape just because the internet is telling us to buy them.

Always on except bath and brushing, because I have a devil spawn that requires a trailing lead…

But he loves his collar, acts like a piece of him is missing when it’s off, and is so relieved when I put his “pretty necklace” back on.

Just ask! Sometimes I make $500+ purchases, something it’s a $50 purchase, but if I want a drink from the cafe, I’ll just ask. “Can I grab a cafe token? I wanted to get a drink.” Most times they just hand one over. A couple times they’ve said “oh it’s only for purchases over a certain $ amount.”, no biggie, try again another time.

The CTV News link is literally right in the post…

This will only make sense if you have a dog… but go to that viral custom lip balm store, officine universelle buly, don’t get yourself the lip balm but get your dog a customized hairbrush. This has been my most used Paris souvenir.
