    Doing the drive - how do I time it?

    Thank you ! I am concerned about the smokey mountain portion of that route. There doesn't seem to be many exits - or they are certainly few and far between which is worrying if I'm driving later at night. Have you ever tried the I75 route? It looks like it would take me about 2 hours longer...

    Doing the drive - how do I time it?

    Sorry! I'm in the GTA - I can cross at Queenston or Ft Erie or Windsor... they length of the overall trip only changes by an hour or so depending on the route. Just wondering which route has more hotels etc just for safety sake along the way.

    Doing the drive - how do I time it?

    And which route would you recommend for a lone driver?

    Doing the drive - how do I time it?

    I've been along for the drive (and took my turn!) many times. This summer I'll be driving once again - but doing it all myself as my passengers are non-drivers. So I want to make sure I don't overtire and keep as alert as possible. It's over 20 hours and I think 7-8 hours a day will be my...

    Anyone know anything about tires? Mechanic is closed...

    Well why didn't I think of that!! Of course! I'll check in the morning and lower the three so all four match. Thanks!! That should at least get me through tomorrow and I can be watchful and see if there's any change.

    Anyone know anything about tires? Mechanic is closed...

    I'm going to check the pressure again in the morning to see if it reads the same. I just don't know if I can drive on it like this to get it back to the dealership? 15 minute drive on main roads (no highway). Would I do it damage by driving on it this way?

    Anyone know anything about tires? Mechanic is closed...

    Sorry - should have mentioned. They are filled with Nitrogen. Can I add air??

    Anyone know anything about tires? Mechanic is closed...

    I drive a mini countryman. Had the tires changed last week (snow > regular). And a couple of days ago the front passenger side went flat. Side was torn up. Managed to get it straight to dealership. Luckily I was less than a km away. Of course, this means a whole new tire. $300 not cheap! I do...

    Chances? Had to waitlist one night in August...

    YAY!!!! Waitlist came through. We have a full week at PVB all set for August. I don't think I've ever had a waitlist come through that quickly before - sometimes they never do!

    OMG...I've forgotten how to do this. Where do I start??

    Wow = I'm checking the park calendars and I'm not seeing too many late nights. What happened to the 2am late park closings? We've been often enough and have done the early morning rope-drop out of the park by 1pm trips. I love it but think that'll be a battle on my hands every morning. We used...

    OMG...I've forgotten how to do this. Where do I start??

    HELP!! Ok - so it's our first trip to WDW in over two years. After a crazy horrible couple of years (cheating ex - ruined the last two trips with his affairs) I've decided it's more than time to go back! Reclaiming our happy place :) So I booked Poly today for a week in August. (kept the DVC...

    Chances? Had to waitlist one night in August...

    At the Poly standard view studio. I managed to get the first 3 days together and then waitlist a night and then the final 3 days. So smack dab in the middle of the week. I booked all the other nights and waitlisted the one I couldn't get. What do you think my chances are it'll become available...

    Coupon for BUF airport parking?

    There used to be a link for a coupon on their website. It was there for years - but it seems to be moved or is completely gone. Anyone have a link if it still exists? We fly out on Sunday. Hoping to save a little $ at the airport. TIA

    Canadian DVC members selling contracts? Making the US$ work for us!

    I'm starting to notice quite a few "Canadian sellers" on the resale sites. Certainly makes financial sense to resell the points now - especially if they were purchased when our dollar was near par. Anyone on the fence? I never thought I would sell my contracts but it might be a good time to...

    Canadian Dollar is going to cancel our trip.

    Our trips are on hold until the dollar heads upwards again. Maybe 2017 or 2018. Meanwhile, I've rented out some of my dvc points (for US$!) that would otherwise have been wasted. I miss my happy place!

    Questions about splitting contracts during divorce

    We've been trying that - but he's ignoring, delaying... I'm hoping that dealing with one smaller thing at a time between us that he will be agreeable then will limit the arguments to the last few key things that are much much bigger. I'd rather my lawyer spend time and $$ focusing on support...

    Questions about splitting contracts during divorce

    ok - good to know. I want to be realistic about what I would receive after all is final so it's good to keep that 10% in mind too. Thanks!

    Questions about splitting contracts during divorce

    No - I didn't know that! I have an idea of what it would cost re the commission/fees through a listing agent. Would they also deduct the 10% tax from the sale? Is the seller responsible or the buyer?

    Questions about splitting contracts during divorce

    OK - sent him this as first offer: I've contacted DVD regarding removal/transfer of names off the deeds. Easiest way to do it is remove my name off half and your name off half so that we can each deal with sale etc as there are multiple contracts. We have 5 contracts total - true value won't...

    Questions about splitting contracts during divorce

    Yup - definitely don't have the cash to offer him to buy him outright. It may be easiest to offer to list all contracts and split the proceeds if/when they sell (so that we are each taking the same loss etc with fees) OR offer to transfer half the contracts to his name and and half in mine and...
