hi jill, thanks for answering my question. it will save us money if we book a day early and receive the free dining plan. will it be a problem to check in a day later than our reservation begins? resv is 11/29 but we don't fly in until 11/30.
welcome back to the moms panel daphne, thanks for your patience as i researched a response to your question. i called disney resorts and the walt disney travel company. i'm afraid that qualifying for that free dining promotion may be more complicated than you originally thought. the cast members to whom i spoke said that guests who do not check in on the stated start date of their vacation run the risk of having their entire reservation cancelled. they assured me that they would work closely with guests who arrive late due to cancelled flights and other circumstances outside the guest's control. however, booking a day early to qualify for a free dining promotion would not fall under that same category. therefore, i would not advise you to change your reservation unless you can foresee arriving on november 29th. it might be worthwhile to check with your airline to see if they allow any flexibility in your date of departure. it also wouldn't hurt to call the agent through whom you originally booked your vacation to see if they could offer any other solutions. otherwise, it doesn't look like free dining will be in the cards for your family on your upcoming trip. i wish i had more encouraging news. don't be dispirited! you'll have a fabulous vacation this november whether the free dining promotion works out or not. in all my years of traveling to walt disney world, i haven't qualified for free dining once, but i'm hopeful that someday the stars will align properly and i'll get to take advantage of a free dining promotion. i hope you will be able to also. best wishes and thanks again for the question! jill
most automated banking payment systems won't have been told deceember 25th is different from any other day. 

the credit may not reach another account until the 27th but if you pay on time, they can't complain. if you're worried about it, pay it on the 24th. contact your local service provider as early as possible. the decorating season is short, and our schedules tend to fill up by mid-november. yes, you can always go early but you just can't go late. depending on the hotel, it can take 1 to 8 business days from the end of your stay for the hold to be released and your funds to become available again. you can sign up for automatic account notifications to find out immediately when your money is released: https://www.greendot.com/greendot/account/alert. if you had to pay in money when you filed then they are going to charge you interest for being late.

they are probably conducting an internal audit of all of your past returns right now, that is why you haven't gotten the notice yet. if they determine that you did this intentionally, which is likely, they'll access a punitive fine on top of the interest they'll charge you.

otherwise they might just send a warning. although it is illegal to file late, if you didn't owe them money they probably won't make a big deal out of it. just the same, they are probably auditing all of your recent returns. it's fine to do so, in april. however, it needs to be mentioned that driving in iceland in winter might be way more difficult than you expect, even if you have arctic driving experience. about booking accommodation along the way, it does take quite a lot of time on logistics. see if you can spare yourself time by selecting beforehand where you want to be. once you have accepted a booking, customers will have two hours to pick up the currency that they have ordered at your location. once the two hours are up, the booking will have expired. take a cruise from san diego. holland america line travels to mexico for 7 - 10 days from san diego. great food, great prices, and lots of touring in each city they stop in. i just went on the 7-day and i loved it. i got to see puerto vallarta, mazatlan, and cabo. mazatlan was my favorite. so beautiful and cultural. don't go through a travel agent that is going to charge you for their services. most agents are paid from the company they book you with and should not be over charging you for the same thing you could book on your own. they will charge an extra fee for airline reservations just because the airlines do not pay them commissions anymore. if you go on a cruise you can call the company direclty. it should be no problem as long as it hasn't expired yet. see more... That's a great question...not sure what the answer is. My initial guess is they won't because it will show the assignment being turned in late. One thing I have done is to change the due date and then it extends the time for the students who came late into the class. That seems to help.
