I live in Barrie and just before school started I bought my daughter a Ariel backpack and lunch bag from that Disney store. 2 days later I was back in there and they were all 50% off!! I asked the girl if I could get my money back and she said I would have to bring the back pack and lunch bag...
We were there this past Jan (15-23) 2006 and had beautiful weather, high 70's low 80's everyday. But we were told by many locals that this was very unusual.....better then the freezing temps back home.
Wow, I was going to book there for our trip in January, but for some odd reason I decided not to and went with a different hotel, glad I went with my gut feeling!
