    October 2019 Car Rental Thread

    My 2 week minivan rental went down to $555 (Costco Alamo) on Saturday but it's up to $690 again now. Next time the price drops, if it does, I'll try it without going through the Costco site but using as Gina did the code and coupon on the regular site.

    October 2019 Car Rental Thread

    I’ve never heard tell of autoslash, I like using Costco and Alamo for the extra driver. This is a minivan that I’m checking on so maybe it will come down in the next little while.

    October 2019 Car Rental Thread

    I hope that's for one week and not two. The best I can get so far for 2 weeks: Oct.20 - Nov 3, is $597 with Alamo Costco. I think that's the highest I've ever paid. Have been checking religiously. Hopefully it goes down more.

    Disney after hours

    Thanks for asking this. I was wondering about October myself and was hoping for dates when we’re there but it’s not looking good. Going in at 7 pm and staying till midnight or 1 am is great for us oldies as well. No crowds,heat or long hours of waiting. I’d buy tickets for each of the parks this...

    Looking for replacement for Aeroplan points

    I like CIBC Aventura or RBC Avion. its easier to find a flight on any airline with these and you don't have to book so far in advance. So if Westjet, Delta or whoever has a seat sale you're free to book it and aren't limited to AC or United.

    Cancellation policy at Vista Cay?

    Most privately owned properties have similar cancellation policies. They're not hotels and can't fill your space as easily as a hotel can. You can take out your own cancellation policy in case of an emergency with sites like insuremytrip.com .

    It's very easy to get to Disney. From the airport we usually take the south exit which goes to 417 and then take exit 2 at Celebration. (Usually a lot less traffic than on I 4. )Go west on 192. Use a gps and you should have no problem. Study a map before you go. Here's my google map with the...

    You'll need at least a 4 br house in order to get the private pool. There's a few 3 br in older subdivisions but most of the newer subd. it's 4 br. at least. It doesn't really matter how many extra bedrooms you have as long as the price is right. DH and I usually stay in a 4 br and have stayed...

    Indian Ridge Oaks?

    It is an older community with a lot of permanent residents. It would in no way compare to WH. Some of the rentals have been updated but there's a few that haven't. The house we stayed in was nice and well looked after. It just a basic community of homes. I think there maybe a small community...
