Quote: Originally Posted by toniosmom I'm curious about the webcast as well. By the way, did you break up your 270 points into more than one contract? I would do 3 -- 100, 100, and 70.

At 35 with 3 kids, it makes more sense to break up evenly...

Those June UY points added on were from June Use Year allotment about to expire; the poster purchased and...

Daddio's service is designed to put together members who have points available and non-members seeking points--in return for a fee, of course. I don't mean to point any fingers but in many ways I don't see how...

I think Disney is doing a better job of advising to break up the...
