The Best Mail is Disney Mail

Yes. This is the slogan at our house, and the past week has been the most awesome in Disney mail in a awhile.  Last week right before leaving for Austin, we received our Magical Express tags from Disney.  These are the tags that you place on your luggage so that when you get of the plane at Orlando you don’t have to worry about your luggage – you just board the Disney Magical Express bus, and your luggage will magically appear in your hotel room in a couple hours.  (I LOVE THIS SERVICE)  I was so excited as it was our first offical Disney mailing so I know this means our vacation is fast approaching! (note: they are the bright yellow tags you see at the top of the picture).  Today was the first day that I had checked the mail since returning from Austin, and it included an even better piece of Disney mail – our actual travel documents.  This includes our final verification documents of the trip along with the free goodies you receive from Disney including luggage tags and coupons for things such as Photopass, mini-golf, and Planet Hollywood.

But that’s not all!  I also received my Disney gift cards I had cashed out for at Sunshine Rewards. Yes. If you need proof that reward programs work and that you do receive your earnings, check out my proof. You will see a total of $300 for our Disney vacation next month.  This is what we’ll use to pay for souveniors and tip our waiters now that the dining plan does not include the tip.  In the bottom right corner, you’ll notice one other gift card. This is a $10 American Express card that I earned through my participation with the Ipsos Survey Panel. This I think we’ll use in an airport when we need a snack or drink.

June 14th Challenge

Today was the hardest day of the challenge so far. Today we had a family reunion so I’ve been away from the computer pretty much since the time I woke up this morning until late this evening. If it wasn’t for Janet and Catherine‘s challenge, I would have written off this day totally, but I didn’t want to fail so early in the challenge so I did some quick thinking, and I have made my $10 today – just in the knick of time.

Total Earned Today: 10.71
Total Goal Thus Far: $50 Total So Far: $77.04

So far so good. I’m still accomplishing my goals! :) Want to read more about this challenge? Check out my other posts in this series or check out Catherine’s Earnings.
