I told my dh to get me up at 6am.....which I regret now since I did not sleep well at all last night. I think I slept maybe 3 hours total. Dh said "Man...you sure are going crazy for saving a couple of bucks"!!:rotfl:

I'm up at 515 my time because I was having nightmares that my credit balance was changing before the cashout was announced & I was afraid it wouldn't get corrected!

Thankfully I logged in & saw that my balance is still there & all my shopping credits are paid too this morning! Woo hoo!! :cooldance:

I figured I'd also do the t-shirt offer before I started to get ready for work. How sad am I?! :p

Ok, off to get ready! I don't know how I'm going to get anything done today! Happy waiting & cashing out everyone!!

WOW!! I just had to go in and edit the title a little. I had two words with the wrong letters inserted. I guess the combination of lack of sleep and the "foggy brain syndrome" from being perimenopausal did me in this morning!!!!




And YIKES!!!!! The title did NOT change to reflect my errors. I am totally embarrassed because I HATE seeing words spelled wrong. UGH!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry guys...I hope y'all could figure out what I meant and TRIED to correct.

I have been up for an hour and that is early for me since I am a night person. Didn't want to miss the cash out since I have to go in town later today.

I woke up at 7:30. After going to sleep at 3. I'm a smidge tired, but I go in to a class at 9:30 and won't be back until late afternoon so I didn't want to miss the morning festivities.

Did anyone else have the thought, "Did I miss?"

I work from home, and was up editing until 4:30am...was going to stay up so I wouldn't miss it. But then I was afraid I'd fall asleep on the couch and totally miss it, so I set 2 alarms for 7am!

Thanks Tricia, and good groggy morning to all!

We'll just take the easy route and just go through WDW online to book. I like doing it all at once and getting it over with. Just have to pick my dates for next year and wait for them to release the packages. I'll probably book right away and then change it later if they add on free dining again. Otherwise my next cashout will be going towards the dining plan :sunshine:

Got my $100 - and as soon as it arrives it will be given straight to my dad (along with my first SR $25 Disney GC) because I said that if he would add a day for MNSSHP, I would cover tickets

now I'm going to try really hard to push for a $50 to cash out for on Aug 15th when my pending credit comes through and hope it arrives before we leave on Sept 7!

Side Note: Does anyone feel just a tiny bit sad when they cash out and their available balance goes way down? I think I get a little bit attached to seeing that number at the bottom of my current earnings page - I just like to look at it! lol But not as much as I like looking at a Disney gift card in my hot little hand! :sunshine:

If you want me to email you the card number, I can do that so that you can use it ASAP.

Yes, it's always sad to see the balance go down,but I do have to say, having the total balance earned on my banner on SR forums has helped that sadness a little!! :sunshine2:

We're leaving 3 days before you and I was just thinking of when the latest I should cash out next month so I get it in time for our trip!! I was thinking at the latest August 24th...but I'll for sure ask Tricia when it comes closer!! She's always so fast on the mailings! But at the same time I don't want to chance it...but on the other hand I want to earn as much as I can!! Ahhh the Disney/SR dilemma!

I'm hoping that I can cash out right away on the 15th - that's great that you'll be down there the same time as us - where are you staying? We'll be at POFQ. You're on the DIS, right? If you're around, we're doing a DIS meet at the Tower of Terror at 3pm-ish on Thursday the 13th ...

and I agree the total does cushion the blow to the balance ... it's almost like a security blanker or some sort of Scrooge complex to just log in and see your high balance and smile to yourself ... lol ... I might be a little bit nuts!

I was up from 5:47 Pacific time.

After coming down with some sort of sickness yesterday, last night I did the unthinkable-for-me and took some decongestant so I could sleep and actually breathe, and it worked, I slept the night through...then DH actually got up to try to help with the cashout (I did a tutorial with him last night before I trundled off to bed), but since it woke me up, all I could think was "omg what if he messes this up?" so I was forced to get up.

Brought the laptop to the bedroom, watched the boys sleep, and cashed out.

And now I can't get back to sleep. DH is taking DS to the apartment building's little movie room to watch the Incredibles, so that I have a chance to get more sleep....

So anyway, I've been up since just before the cashout started, which was completely serendipitous!

I think you win some kind of prize for that. LOL! I wish I had some cool little prize graphics to give people for their siggies. I'll think about how to do that. :)

I'm good Tricia. I don't think they have released the '08 stuff yet. WDWabby might be needing that help though in August.

little prize graphics would be so much fun. Maybe we could use them as avatars if there are different ones and people are out of signature space.

I love that idea!! Different avatars that aren't available to everyone would be a great prize! :)
