    If you have stayed Offsite-Did you cook?

    We go on a budget and staying offsite means saving on food. We cook simple meals and try to make them a little more healthy so that when we do enjoy a meal at a restaurant, we don't feel too guilty. We also go when it is very hot, so coming home and enjoying some cool watermelon or a salad is...

    Youth baseball players...protective shirts?

    Yes these shirts look like they could easily be worn under catcher's gear. They only appeared to have the extra protection in the chest area and rib area. They are made by EASTON and are around $40. The padding was a foam hexalite type material.

    Youth baseball players...protective shirts?

    I actually saw them yesterday at sports authority. They protective part was made out of a lightwweight foam very similiar to the foam on my son's football ribguards and girdle. His football ones are very lightweight and easy to move in, so I think these would be the same. I do not remember the...

    Has anyone used a Filtered Water Bottle??

    filtering water bottles available at Target in the food storage section (Ziploc, Rubbermaid etc) They are a little large but hold 20 oz and come in a variety of colors. I think they cost about 10 dollars.

    Anyone used the new Tide HE washer cleaning tablets?

    on my washer too. I think I will stick with the vinegar from now on as the tablets are expensive. If I had a brand new expensive washer, I might use the tablets just to be proactive with the smell problem. To me the tablets smell like Cascade diswashing powder. I would love to know what is in...

    Any great ideas out there for keeping kids happy on the long drive to WDW?

    bring something to shade their eyes when you pull into gas stations, as they can be very bright. We use a velour sleep mask or a baseball cap that we use to shade eyes(pull it down far) Also for the back-uo driver, the sleep mask and ear plugs are a good idea for a refreshing nap which sometimes...

    Disney In June

    Hot with chance of thunderstorms. Walmart has kid sized ponchos. Bring a rain cover for stroller. We put a damp stroller in the trunk on a hot humid day and by the time we took it out a few hours later, it had already begun to get musty and moldy.

    Plan this vacation please....

    With the length of your vacation, I would try a trip to Universal. My family loves Disney, but Universal is really fun too. On the real big thrill coasters, they have single rider lines that move much more quickly, so your husband could catch a ride while you were having an ice cream break or...

    The difference between Sheraton Vistana Villages and Resort???

    and loved them both. Villages is smaller and only a little further away from Disney than Vistana Resort -maybe 5 minutes tops. There are basketball and tennis courts at both resorts. You can't go wrong with either one.

    I need inexpensive / cool restaurants!

    Another vote for Bahama Breeze. We have always had great food and service at both locations .

    What we should make sure we pack with a 2 year old

    for downpours. Some people use a poncho. Sunglasses in your child's size or a hat with a big brim. Super absorbant swim towel. They are about 12inches and absorb lots of water. They are great after the kid's fountain play. Swim mask and swim shoes for pool time. We didn't have one...

    car seat?

    because that was the way our child was use to traveling. It was routine and normal. We did not remove them from the seat just the same as we would not remove them from the seat in the car -not an option. Of course, bathroom visits don't count. We felt safe and secure, as did our child. I believe...

    We Might Be Crazy

    to receive their newsletter for great tips and discounts,especially on car rentals. We have stayed offsite at Vistana, Vistana Villages, and Vista Cay. All were great although Vista Cay is closer to Universal. We rented a car. We have always traveled with at least 6 so it is cheaper and roomier...

    Filtering water bottle?

    It is about 10 inches tall and holds 20 oz. They used to sell a personal sized brita bottle but you can't find them any more. Personally, I wish the bottle was a little smaller but I was happy to find a filtered bottle as I feel very guilty lately about the amount of plastic that my family uses...

    How big is the stroller you cab buy at WDW?

    My 5 year old niece used it last year on our vacation and it worked out fine for transporting her, but if she dozed off , there was no place to rest her head as she was too tall. She is average sized for a 5 year old.

    Filtering water bottle?

    They sell one in Target in the section with the plastic containers. It would remind you of the old Brita bottles, except in colors. It is around 9 or 10 dollars. I bought one but have not used it yet. Oh and I forget the name right now -sorry.

    Help me handle the heat

    Know when you are getting too hot and bothered to enjoy yourself. Disney will not be fun if you are exhausted from the heat. All the advice above is great. Sometimes, you just have to get out of the sun. And remember, it takes a while to get out of the park, ride the bus or monorail, and get...
