If you are looking at an awesome new job offer, can you still go on your magical vacation?
I’ve done it successfully three times. I bring it up during the negations once the offer is on the table. I just state the facts, and I flat out state that I am willing to take it unpaid.

So, remember how I’ve been changing my August trip from AKL to POP? Shortly before I went away, I was able to confirm my dates. It did not look like there were any discounts for my dates, but I figured I’d deal with it once I got home. I did check out a DVC point [...]

In December (man, I might want to actually re-start my trip report, huh), I had planned on checking out Fresh-a-Peel, the “healthy option” section of Pollo Campero in Downtown Disney.  These restaurants are located in the old McDonald’s area, and I was impressed by how un-McDonaldsy the place looked.  I was very excited to see [...]
