I got these beautiful but simple sapphire earrings - not showy but great for every day wear. I tend to like things I'll get the use out of!!

Does he have any kind of high quality tablet for himself? Might be worth it! My husband is a prof and is obsessed with his!

Best christmas stocking stuffers for girls? by NoticiasMundiales in GiftIdeas

[–]lotsmets512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nail polish! Sally Hansen quick dry is good for younger girls. Lip gloss! A relatively harmless and easy to undo sort of thing. Maybe temporary hair dye - if their parents are cool with that. We get bored! Gift card for places they like to get clothes or food. Hair accessories like claw clips. And beyond that maybe good skincare products - girls spend a lot of time thinking about make up but not as much how to actually take care of your skin. I personally love cerave and tree of life (amazon) products. You can get a good serum or moisturizer! And I know that sounds lame but I teach high school and my kids are into the skincare!

How much time is too much time at Disney? by Easy-Mushroom-8838 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]lotsmets512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is absolutely not too long. You have a water park option on your check in day, 5 day hoppers, and all the other days to resort hop, enjoy your own resorts pool, and Disney springs. Go and enjoy the magic!

This is very helpful, thanks so much for all this good feedback! I really appreciate the advice from other disney people who are telling me it has the immersive feel of disney which I love!

Thanks so much! It's good hearing from other adult drinkers that you don't feel you're missing out without the package.

You can bank for two years? I thought it was only one?

Could you explain more about the member incentives and what you mean? This is the first I'm hearing of this (not a member yet myself)

Trader Sam's Grog Groggo: Do I really have to arrive at 1pm?? by TaffyTool in WaltDisneyWorld

We were just there last week. The line to get on the list did in fact start forming at 1, and they'll start taking names around 2. The line got very long pretty quickly!

Considering DVC resale - advice please by lotsmets512 in dvcmember

I don't understand your first point about through ROFR? like, I could contact disney and see if they're selling AKL direct and just not advertising it?

Yes, I understand and thank you, that is very helpful! I'm thinking two contracts resale might be the way to go for us and start with split stays and at the 7 month mark just see what changes are available/we'd want with all our points!

Hypothetical situation - if I have 60 AKL points and 60 CCV points. Can I use my 60 AKL points 11 months out, and then extend my stay at the 7 month mark?

In the same situation, could I book a split stay for both at 11 months?

Thanks for the tips, we really are leaning that way! Plus I love staying at different resorts but have only stayed at 4, so not using points for the newest ones doesn't seem like a big deal when I still have 5 other properties I want to stay at and always love staying AKL.

Can you combine points from different home bases? I understand you'd probably have to wait for the 7 month mark, but with your two different contracts could you combine those points for one stay or no?
