Can we talk about our travel plans next year? I have booked so far: Miami, Las Vegas, Central Europe (that's the big one). I'm looking to see if I can get a week in Italy over Thanksgiving next year. My plan is at least one getaway (around a weekend) every month. I've got the points. I'm planning to use them all up!

January - Key West using our last unrestricted IHG free night certs,
April - NYC with niece and PlanePrincess to see Beetlejuice. This is her Xmas present. She was so happy she was crying this morning LOL - MR points, BonBlah FN certs
May - Weekend in Vero Beach. DVC points
July - Aulani and DLR. DVC points, AA miles, UA miles
September - Northern Ireland and Ireland. Ashford Castle with UR points. BA travel together ticket, Radisson Rewards points
November - Annual family Thanksgiving trip aka "Adventures in Herding Cats" DVC points
December - Africa - work in progress but likely a combo of UR and MR because I don't trust AA right now.

I think it's always depended on the property itself. Did that change? We've stayed with both, and have always been able to use the dining credits, but the spa credits are tough to use if we are only staying for a day or two.

This is true for the Vegas properties which is where I use FHR.

Now I’ve got a nice collection going!

This will make a nice addition to last year’s Christmas ornament: https://www.disboards.com/threads/i-love-credit-cards-so-much.3528202/post-60066943

Continuing to plan my Alaskan cruise for 2021. Now that Alaska Airlines flies non-stop from Columbus to Seattle, I am looking at Alaska Airline miles. I see there is a business card for Alaska Air from BoA. Is that hard to get? I am 4/24. Would that have a bearing on getting approved? No other BoA cards in my wallet (or sock drawer).

[GlamMistress]

Hope everyone who celebrates had a great Christmas day.

I'm getting ready to crawl into bed with a book DH gifted me. We received lots of nice gifts, ate way too much and have good visits with both sets of parents.

As for 2020 trips, my schedule hasn't changed: DCL in Feb (San Juan to New Orleans) and then WDW in late September/early October for Food and Wine. Staying at Animal Kingdom with our DVC points.

I don't forsee any other "notable" trips for 2020. We will likely be doing some things to our house. Those projects will consume the extra money and vacation time a trip would otherwise require.

August- OCMD/phl/Hershey/cow town to see ILs

My cousin made some fun cookies

Cute! My daughter and I were making sugar cookies and she was telling me that some People were making baby yoda cookies with the angel cookie cutter. But we weren’t frosting so decided not to try it.

Yeah it’s a little unchristmasy because you chop the angel’s head off lol

I'm sorry about your in laws. A lot of my weekend trips will be in law related, but I try to combine them with something fun.

That was my plan, but things reached crisis mode twice this year and DH ended up just going alone at the last minute (in one case same day tickets) so we didn't get to do any of the fun stuff.

Plans so far.
March - Southern California (Joshua Tree NP, Death Valley NP) and Vegas (Valley of Fire SP and Red Rock Canyon SP)
May - Utah - not finalized yet
July - Glacier NP
September - Rocky Mountain NP
October - Seattle

Nice! I really want to add in a visit to some national parks in 2020 or 2021. I'm thinking about the ones in Utah (Arches, Monument) or Wyoming/Montana.

 

[Haley R]

2020 travel plans:

February-Might drive to gulf shores because my parents will be staying there
July-Fly to Iowa

That’s it lol! We definitely plan to do short plane trips and long car rides with the baby but have no idea where we’ll go. It’ll likely be last minute plane deals or something like that.
