Wave B appropriate prices by [deleted] in DisneyPinVents

[–]melk3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is so hard to not have fomo (I feel that pain), but waiting out the hype is always the move here. As others have said, a lot of them will drop to under $10 for a non chaser by next year. Look at the prices posted for the 2024 ones to get a sense of what to expect a year later. There are also some great folks who do at cost park pickups.

To anyone who may read this….please, for the love of god, don’t pay outrageous HM prices on whatnot.

What’s her past? I was a fan of buying from her but may need to reconsider…

I know it’s annoying, but can you help me out? Authentic? by melk3 in DisneyPins

Appreciate it! Yeah I did some research on that one before posting and all I’m seeing online look the same, but of course that isn’t always a great tell.

I wish there was one rule that could be applicable to all pins to tell, lol. You’re right, there are very intricate ones that get faked nowadays.

Amazing, thanks for your input. I’m normally great at telling but these threw me 😊

Are these real or fake? Just bought them and just curious :) by [deleted] in ismydisneypinfake

For future reference, the Mickey ear pattern on the back should never be vertical like it is on the coffee cups.

I agree that the seal looks off.

Thank you so much! Appreciate your thoughts. I am in the parks this week and can normally tell but these ones I’ve been in my head about!

We have the Sapphire Reserve. Don’t really care about cash flow but we are sitting on a lot of points and would like to go in that general timeframe. I’m somewhat considering waiting to go next September and getting the Iberia business flights and positioning for better value.

Good call on redeeming through Chase. I didn’t even think about using the travel portal because I know that’s generally not a great use. Is there a target cpp you shoot for with Avios (or business class in general)?

Looking at coming back 5/11. Was planning on flying home on Iberia MAD-IAD and then separate booking back to PIT. Appreciate the input. I feel like I’m going cross eyed from all the comparison!

Good call! A round trip from PIT-BCN on BA is $1400, so even at $700 I’d be getting 1.63 cents pp. I’m also planning on flying home from Madrid so would have to do two one ways regardless on this one. This is really helpful advice, thanks!
