    TSA Pre-Check taking FOREVER....

    I agree that Clear is not worth the money so I let mine lapse. I had Clear and precheck and often others traveling with me with precheck only would beat me through. I think part of the problem with clear is the clear staff helping you. It is much faster at locations that let you scan yourself...

    Redoing a disappointing character interaction?

    Part of the fun of character interactions is that the interaction is mostly unique to the person they are meeting with. We can expect that the character behave like their on screen character but should not expect them to hold certain conversations with everyone or to comment about an outfit. How...

    Part time remote jobs

    You can contract for call center work with Arise. But as you are a contractor you do have to pay for training. They pay by the 1/2 hour and the rate is pretty low for many of their contracts. Call a temp agency. I use one for my own remote workers for a call center. The same people have been...

    Rental only neighborhoods?

    Similiar neighborhoods are being built in my metro. They are also doing non-rental ones with 99 year land leases from the city at $100 annually to lower the price of the home.

    Is anyone buying the Disney Princess American Girl dolls?

    What makes you think they will fail when they are selling out? How are you guaranteeing that they will be on clearance? American Girl dolls are expensive. The target audience for them can afford them.

    DCL cruisers tried Royal...

    What activities on RCCL are people paying for that they feel nickel and dining them and having to tell the kids no to? The rock climbing, bumper cars, etc are all included. There are plenty on non paid food options. The only thing would be soda, which can be cheaper and better if you order a can...

    Why do people take on so much debt?

    I just looked up the cheapest properties on the market in my county. We live in a county that is part of a large MSA. These properties are in a small town instead of within the main city limits. Cost of living in our area is 10% below the national average. Single wide mobile home - $34,000...

    Why do people take on so much debt?

    If you haven’t already, look into a down payment assistance program. In our area the income requirement to get one is $150,000 or less. There is an area I work in on the other side of the country where the maximum income is $550,000. So lots of people are eligible. Google your state housing...

    Why do people take on so much debt?

    Thanks for posting. I had considered posting something similar after the other thread. When we were starting out our married lives we had quite a bit of debt. It was quite suffocating! So glad to be out of it. I do consider ourselves to be fortunate but at the same time we are frugal in our...

    Should I force my kids to go to Disney?

    The 18 year old is an adult and also could be considered the adult of the 16 year old. There is no need to have a babysitter for an adult child.

    Places to visit that are not miserably hot in August?

    Lake Tahoe. Temps at morning and night are chilly and the day is comfortable. If you decide you need a bit more warmth you can always take a day trip to the hot valley. My DH hates bugs and hiking and doesn’t complain about either when we go.

    Should Disney Park Tickets Be Cheaper on Days With Early Special Event Closure?

    No. A business can price themselves however they see fit. Also, think about the number of hours you are getting and even though they close early, it is still less per hour than if you were paying for the after hours event.

    Disney cruise... is it worth the price

    Just a comment on the more spacious rooms with a split bath…our upcoming RCCL stateroom is a junior suite with a split bath. It is larger and cheaper than the split bath option on DCL. I agree with the questions the PP says to ask yourself. Also, where do you want to go? You might want to...

    If the backwards portion of Spaceship Earth was uncomfortable for you......

    I usually end up sitting in the corner like you said and putting my sweater behind me. But I am always cold even when it is 90 out so always have the sweater.

    Disney cruise... is it worth the price

    No. We have enjoyed sailing on DCL but the only thing I think it has going for it are better shows. There are plenty of threads on here comparing cruise lines. Lots of research should go in to determine what is best for you.

    I just found this....

    That was a great year. I remember our family receiving them when we got off of Space Mountain. We also like to bring joy to others in the parks when we can. Today, though, it often comes in the form of a family standing looking for a table while holding trays of food and no tables to be found...

    Can my picky "Disney adult" kids order off the kids menu at TS?

    Yes but you may need to pay for the adult sized portion of it based on where you are dining.
