IT CAN BE DONE!

(and you just heard that in Robin Williams' voice)

Starting off December

The Big Thanksgiving Planning Session happened, starring yours truly as Hannibal Smith.
Alas, the plan did not come together.

My sister doesn't want to go at all.
My father offered to buy his way out of the trip.
Jonner, Ollie and Chris will all be in school.

So, Gabriel and I get to do a belated honeymoon/5 year anniversary trip.

Gabriel got on board and we figured out what we want:
Driving down Saturday, staying off property
Sunday, moving into the Boardwalk Villas (DVC rental). They are more expensive than the Animal Kingdom ones, but being in walking distance of two parks is worth the $15 a night.
A five day park pass is literally $20 more than a four day and allows more flexibility
The Dining Plan sounds like the best food option.

We talked about rides we want to do, and which shows to see. I caught a new Disney Food Blog episode that I have to show him. It made me cry with desperate wanting of something I've dreamed of for more than 40 years and now it's so close I can TASTE it. (Smuggler's Run for those coming late to the program. I am an old school Star Wars geek)

It's gonna be about $3000 or more.
So i am hard at earning. I've found a few new things

Where do I stand?
Swagbucks (surveys and videos): 3234 points ($32.34)
Smores (a lockscreen ad) 180 points ($1.80)
Coin Pop (games for points) 77378,  (182667 for $20)

Killi (get paid when your info gets sold, as it will): $0.15

Ibotta: no movement. I haven't been shopping

Lucktastic (scratch cards) $3.25 and 17869 points (375,000=$100, but 30,000=$5)

Shopkick: 1736 points, takes 12500 for a $50 Disney card

Lucky day (scratchers) 6.50 and 3million points ($2)

ko trivia 93562 points (not quite $10, takes 1240000 for $100, and 12,000,000for $1000)
46.04, if I could cash it all out.

We keep plugging

Irazoo: quit. The games quit working under my system

Patreon: always need more patrons.

Etsy, one order. Spending most of it to make it happen.

Mystery shopping: set up my December shops. Using most of November's money to make them happen. And I spent on a wreath and tree for Yule
