That is awesome, Jennie! Way to go!!!!!
 
See you in Disney! Just a reminder -- level 3 gets airfare paid, too -- not only level 4!! Pampered Chef is an awesome company!!

unfortunatly We just earned level 2. wish we had our airfare paid for.
 
For level 2 we will get $600 in our paycheck for travel allowance
Level 3 will get $1200. for Travel allowance ( I think the travel allowance is better than Airfare and transfers )
We still have to make our own plans the Travel company will not do the air for use but we still will get $600 for level 2
That means I have to pay $178 more for my air tickets not too badLevel

Two – Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
• Three (3) nights at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
• $600 travel allowance

Level Three – Disney’s Contemporary Resort
• Three (3) nights at Disney’s Contemporary Resort
• Airfare and transfers for four (4) or $1,200 travel allowance

even with the 600 travel alowance I will still be out around 700. I am still looking for cheap flights. Every flight I have found round trip is about 300 and I have to buy for 5. I have told DH we should drive but he doesnt agree with that at all.

I was a bit surprised that the travel allowence was for $600 for 4 people cause it is $600 when the trip is for 2 people every other year and you are far way from florida .
 
You are getting a free trip to Walt Disneyworld for lots of people! I think a couple hundred dollars extra for travel is NOTHING! :) Count your blessings...and look at how much you are SAVING on this trip. A couple more shows will probably pay for that extra travel expense.?
 
yipppeeee..I got level 3....
we are planning to drive as 7 of us our going...me, my hubby and 5 kids. We will have to buy in 3. Plus an extra room at the contempory. We will get 1200 in travel so that will help with gas. We are heading down from Northern Ohio. We earned the trip back in 2000 when I had first started. The kids were much younger but we had a blast..except for the fact that it was Dec. 16th and freezing in Orlando that year. We had to buy hats down there and put socks on the kids' hands. It will nice and toasty in June!!

By all means I am not saying anything about a FREE trip , The Pamperedchef Trips are awsome I have been on a few. They are held at really nice places. last year lunches at the Fountain Blue cost us over $100.00 each day
I have the money for the extra expences but some consultants don't so they do need to plan for that if they can I was only saying that the past Trips had travel expence the same as for 2 as it is for 4
