    Official APH Rate Info for Universal Loews Hotel Properties

    Please confirm - I can upgrade my 3 day 2 park tickets (got the third day through a promo) purchased from a third party ticket seller (Visit Orlando) when I arrive to the lowest level of AP (Will be at Universal in about a week) and take advantage of AP hotel rates for my dates? It appears I'll...

    "For 2,000+ Mile Round-Trip Drivers Only!" (Part V)

    Do any of you use the Waze app instead of an old school GPS for the whole drive (for us it would be about 20 hours each way)? My husband and I have quite a good data plan, but I'm worried about using a lot of data this way. However it seems like a good idea to have up to date traffic and other...

    "For 2,000+ Mile Round-Trip Drivers Only!" (Part V)

    Travelling from the Hamilton, Ontario area to Orlando in late January. Which routes does everyone take during the winter? Or should we decide based on the weather?

    ENDLESS SUMMER RESORT.

    My husband and I are staying at this hotel in late January. I'm a bit nervous about it after reading everyone's comments but the price is unbeatable plus being near offsite restaurants and Walgreens is a plus so I think we're sticking with it! Hopefully the buses are plentiful and quick so we...

    FJ motion sickness

    I'm usually fine on simulator sides, except Mission Space for some reason. I rode FJ on Monday morning and experienced definite motion sickness. I rode Spiderman later that day and was fine. Definitely worse than Spiderman in my opinion. I think it was the fact that your body position is...

    Driving from Ontario

    According to Mapquest your quickest route is to head to Toronto and end up taking the same route we take from the Burlington area. If you stop your first night in Wytheville, Virginia, it would be just under 13 hours and would leave about 10 hours the next day. We just did the drive and there...

    I-77 or I-75 route - looking for feedback from people that have driven both routes

    FYI, we left the Burlington area at 8:30 am on a Friday morning and arrived at Mooresville, NC, just before Charlotte, at 7:30 pm. 11 hours travelling but 10 hours actually driving. Weather was clear and didn't hit any significant traffic or construction delays. Edited to add: We left...

    I-77 or I-75 route - looking for feedback from people that have driven both routes

    We take the I90/I79/US19/I77/I26/I95/I4 route. In fact, we are in Florida right now. However, because it is March and weather could still be an issue, I did have hotels booked on both that route and the I75 route. We are in the Burlington area. We personally find the above route more...

    What time to be at the Buffalo airport?

    I would leave on the early side. Last time we flew out of BUF, our flight was at 7 am and we arrived at the airport at 5 am, thinking we would have lots of time. It was a Friday morning in February. Two of the security lines were closed because the scanning equipment wasn't working so the...

    Best GPS

    My DH has a Garmin and I bought a cheap TomTom for times when we are travelling separately after I got lost because he was travelling with the Garmin. Love the Garmin but the TomTom has some nice features that the Garmin doesn't. At times they give us different routes for the same destinations...

    For 2,000+ Mile Round-Trip Drivers Only! (II)

    Thanks for the information about the deer. We will be driving at dusk and after dusk on our first day and we will keep our eyes open because at that point we will probably (hopefully) be in North Carolina approaching Mooresville/Charlotte where we plan to stop for the night.

    For 2,000+ Mile Round-Trip Drivers Only! (II)

    Thanks for the information. I was also wondering about the deer along the route we are taking. I've heard there are a lot, and smaller than the ones here in Ontario but in groups larger than 2 or 3. We don't often see deer near the roads, at least around where I live, and I've never seen them...

    For 2,000+ Mile Round-Trip Drivers Only! (II)

    I used Mapquest and it says about 12 hours to Charlotte, so you're correct, it's a good place to stop for the night. I ended up booking the Springhill Suites just before Charlotte in Mooresville. It got high ratings on tripadvisor plus the reviewers says it has a nice breakfast included in the...

    Good point, we don't want to be bored in the evening. I will look for somewhere with an indoor pool just in case.

    For 2,000+ Mile Round-Trip Drivers Only! (II)

    We are driving to a rental villa in the Kissimmee area, leaving on March 18, arriving on March 19, and have a 2,058 km or 1,278 mile drive, one way. It usually takes us between 19 and 21 hours total driving time. In the past we have gotten up very early and hit the road by about 4 or 4:30...
