    2nd trip to Florida in 2017 but mainly going to LA

    So we have decided to go to a convention in Florida in August (somehow we managed to snag 2 flights for £2k less in the sale with Virgin Upper class - the issue was with the flight coming back from LA). The convention is in St Petersburg so we need to organise transport from MCO to the...

    Blue Badge parking permit - Osceola County no longer doing this in advance

    Not sure how many people this will effect but the brilliant service from Osceola County was stopped with effect from last month. The best they offer now is to make an appointment at their main office otherwise you just have to wait in their long lines. Bit of a shock when I got their auto reply...

    well thats put a end to our big trip

    I broke my ankle at the end of last year so I have great sympathy for you. I was luckier in that I wasn't in a cast as long but totally agree how difficult it is to try and plan trips when you don't know what you will be capable of.

    Thanks Scottishgirl! Last time I did that it only offered Uk or Ireland but this time I got more including US. At last!

    Getting to the US site?

    I looked at Undercover Tourist and they actually said theirs was more expensive. My frustration is not even being able to check what the prices are. Thankfully a US friend has looked for me so I now know but it really bugs me that I can't look direct. The MDE made me change my password so I...

    Getting to the US site?

    How do we get to the US Disney site now? Used to have an International option and could select US but now only UK and Ireland. Got a friend joining us for one day so buying her a 7 day ticket from the UK pointless! Am I the only one having this problem? Thanks for any help!

    sellmytimesharenow?

    I tried to sell a Marriott timeshare through sellmytimeshare and they were useless. If you are buying and giving them money they may be keener but once they have the money you hear nothing from them.

    renting out points

    I put a post on Facebook and was inundated with requests from friends (and their friends). It worked really well. :)

    renting out points

    I did a few years ago, before you had to put it on the main US DVC site rather than the UK boards. It was fine. I was going to do it this year but because I hadn't got a trip planned at the time I hadn't been active enough in the previous 6 months to be allowed to post. On the off chance I...

    Picking up hire car in Disney World

    The car care centre will also pick you up from one of the parks if you want. We were staying at AKL last month and did the sunrise safari and then got picked up from Animal Kingdom to get our car.

    memory maker costs

    30 days so quite flexible. Only issue I see is that one person is assigned as the person holding the entitlement (and they are the only ones who can get the ride photo/video). Photopass cards are fine and can be added. Perhaps if you have the MM entitlement and your friends use a photopass...

    Worried about the heat in August

    We went in August last year for the first time in ages and were worried about the heat - but it wasn't anything like as bad as we feared. Maybe we were lucky but we are heading back almost the same time as you. You may need to acclimatise a bit but early starts, water and making use of air...

    Highs and Lows. Better late than never.

    Your photos are fantastic! Can I be nosy and ask what sort of camera you use? And is there some kind of fish eye lens? It's really effective! And you have me worried about BA we are going with them in December.....

    Considering adding disney dining plan - views please!

    I think you have persuaded me! Agree on the too much food front (which is why we thought the 2 credit restaurants might help) but I think it will be easier to pay our way. May spring for the Tables in Wonderland card because with another trip in December it wouldn't be hard to make that pay...

    Considering adding disney dining plan - views please!

    We have a 5 night stay and are booked in at jiko (2 credits) Monsieur Paul (2 credits) and Cinderella character dinner at 1900 Park Fayre (1 credit). So that would be the table meals dealt with and leave us the 5 counter service and the snacks. With those bookings is the plan likely to save any...
