Thank you! I LOVE this….how did you make that?
I used to design things here on the creative DIS design thread for free (bookmarks ,, journals,, autograph books,, cruise door magnets ,, cruise everything) but demand and lets say theft of designs got too crazy so I switched to a small online Etsy shop. After a few years it kind of became a job instead of fun so I closed up shop and now just putter around every once in awhile.
Have fun exploring this adventure with your daughter.

Max pass, I earned 663 airmiles, 507 at Metro and 156 at Shell.

I'm not sure I'd do either again Easter weekend. Shell, hard to pay $10 for 156 airmiles, but I didn't purchase anything I wouldn't have or go out of my way so I guess I'm still ahead. May investigate instore purchases someday when I have time. Metro, great return but just a hard weekend to shop. Only days were day before Easter (I don't enjoy shopping during a busy weekend or buying last minute for a holiday but I did), Easter day (not happening) which left Easter Monday which was a second shop and worked out well.

Glad to have the airmiles though.

If you are interested….and if not I would totally understand. I’ve had a ton of thing’s swirling through my head. I’m thinking I might like to have a few things made up for DD to take with her. No solid ideas right now though. Maybe a journal or a pillow cover. Her crew life will be very different this time around and there are things she is going to be taking that she didn’t last time. She has already mentioned linens and wants some room decor.

LOL….she’s already asked me to do the leg work on getting Google Fi set up or finding some sort of phone/data plan that will work internationally. There is a lot to get sorted out in the next 6-7 weeks.

Hmmmmm I wonder what our Ottawa Mom is doing today in Disney?
I've been cutting my own since Covid. I went last December for a proper hair cut and have been maintaining that since, but it's Short. So using clippers makes it a bit easy. If it was longer it would be a lot harder to do myself.
 
DH went to fill up at Shell. I put all the cards in the correct order. My MC on bottom, then AM card on top, then CAA card on top of it. Elastic band around it. No mistakes like using the wrong credit card. It works.😂
I've actually started using the Shell app to pay. All the cards are in there and the 5 cents a litre is automatically applied.
 
Very excited to report that we are kicking off another "Year of Orlando" in 11 days!! We have annual passes to all 3 parks thanks to Air Miles. :)

We've got 5 trips planned for a total of 8 weeks! Our first trip will be Disney only. It's our first time at Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom.

Flights through Aeroplan points. Staying at mainly Marriott hotels with kitchens using either the lowest price or points. Exceptions so far are the Drury Disney Springs, the Dolphin, and AKL in August which I got for $300 per night.

It has been SO fun to plan this!

not sure if this is targeted or not but it's showed up this morning within the receipt section of the app. Hubby's on antibiotics for a couple of months so he needs to eat lots of yogurt, I just won't tell him how icky I think the Siggy brand is and we can double up on miles since they're on sale with miles at Metro this week. $13 worth of yogurt will net 60 miles 😋

Siggis is my go to yogurt, I love it. It's on sale for $6.49, buy two get 15 AMs. So, if I'm doing the math right then it is 15 AMs for the purchase, 16 AMs (2X8) for the regular receipt offer and then 50 AMs for the boost. 81 AMs total. Is this correct?
 
Siggis is on sale at FreshCo as well, for scene+ points, I think it's cheaper there too but can't remember exactly.

But so far none of my receipts ever work properly. I even finally got the cheddar but they didn't give my the flash deal. I'm quite done with even trying. What a waste of time for so few points.

Yup, my maths are on holiday at the moment spent the weekend with Arthur and the heat pump is getting installed today so I've got very little room in my brain! Lucky I put the two parts of that offer together and glad it helped you out as well
