If your associated with the military at all, don't forget Shades of Green. Nice hotel on property, but they also have ITT for ticket deals and two nice golf courses you can play. If you stay on property, you can bus/monorail your way to the different parks and you save on parking/hassle, but there is no doubt that cheaper hotels can be found off property.

The Embassy Suites on International is off property, but in a busy area with lots of restaurants. Its closer to Universal, but they have a great free breakfast, fast shuttle, and the last time we stayed there, great service.
Several hotels both on and off property have great pool areas that can be fun without even leaving the hotel.

If your kids are Harry Potter fans at all, you must visit the Universal Parks as they have two parks with $Billion Harry Potter areas with rides and mockups of the books. Really is well done!

I do not believe it is an option. When you are on NBCMIL, you are basically off the payroll. Of course, you could always call and ask. Would appreciate if you tell us if you get an official answer.

Delta bubbas, does anyone know about any software or subscription that i can purchase to receive a text when a trip plops into open time? I've noticed on short call lately they have been leaving same day trips in open time for a while before assigning the short call. I'd like to pay to have a little more warning that something may be coming my way. Right now i sit short call and check open time regularly. It would be nice if i could pay software to watch open time for me...

When I looked at the awards from the crew resources page and then in iCrew mobile the trips were different. The pdf file had a time stamp from yesterday at around 7 pm. The reasons report had the pairings on my iCrew. I hadn't really looked that hard the last couple of months. The reason report trumps anything from the pdf's or are they usually the same? Just making sure I don't have to bring it up to pbs

The only official award is what is published in DBMS. Until the award is posted there and you can view your schedule it's subject to change.
