    MCO / Port canaveral rental cars

    I should have said that the minivan we rented for 7 was a small one. We had a Montana extended and now have an odyssey at home. We had no problem getting ourselves and the luggage to the airport at home in the odyssey. The rental was a smaller mini van. Also two teenage girls 15 & 18 don't...

    MCO / Port canaveral rental cars

    We rented a minivan for 6 people ... 4 adults and two teenagers! It was a tight squeeze with all the luggage. Literally had bags between the front seats and on laps. Fun times! We thought maybe two cars would have worked better!

    Average amount of presents you get your child for christmas

    We dealt with the issue of family overdoing it on gifts when my girls were pretty young. I asked my parents to put the $$$$ in a college fund. Also asked extended family to do the same...small gift and $$$ in college fund. One of the best things we ever did.

    Average amount of presents you get your child for christmas

    In our house we have a rule "if you don't believe you don't receive". So dd18 and dd15 get a few gifts from Santa and a few from mom and dad. We set an overall budget per daughter but it doesn't have to be exactly the same. Usually $400-500 each.

    Official Castaway Cay 5K Thread

    Ran on Friday as well! I did a lot more walking than I'd hoped. No worries though. DH finished under 30 minutes and there weren't characters then either. Maybe it was TOO HOT for them. It was a cooker out there!
