I've noticed that several restaurants in the Orlando area will have a balloon artist stop by the table and offer to make something for your kids. My kids always want them, but I never know how much I should tip. Anyone have any tipping guidelines for this? Thanks for any help!

I saw the link for this one the Sea World website too. It doesn't say anything about being a Florida resident special. I have read all the fine print. Where are you getting the information that it is for residents only?

My family and I will be going to Orlando in May for 2 weeks. We have rented at Vista Cay when we needed a condo for a convention and have rented at Windsor Hills twice. We loved both Vista Cay and Windsor Hills. This time we won't be spending any time at Disney and will just go to Universal a...

Yes, that is the home we stayed at last year. It is awesome!! I wish they weren't booked for our dates. If anyone else is looking for a 4 bedroom home with a playroom and toys, that one is great.

My family and I rented a home last year that had a wonderful playroom with lots of toys for the kids in addition to video game systems and a pool table. I see that there are tons of rentals with game rooms, but can't find any other options with toys or a playroom. I have a 3 yr. old and 8 yr...

My sister rented this unit and the master bed was very comfy and had nice bedding (higher thread count than usual). I think you would really enjoy this townhome. It's an end unit too. http://www.vrbo.com/53573

We stayed at Vista Cay in June. The Publix had just opened (very nice). The resort was beautiful. The club house and pool area was nice and clean! We really liked the size of the condo we rented and the layout. The location worked great for us to go to Universal and my husband to go to a...

Sorry. I'll clarify. We are staying at Vista Cay. We will be coming to the park in the morning and might go back for nap or a swim for a bit of the afternoon. If we use the valet parking, do we have to pay twice in one day or will the all day rate allow us to go in and out? Thanks in...

If we use valet parking, do we have in and out privileges? Thanks!

JohnnySharp2, Sorry for an off topic question, but I noticed the picture with Barney and BJ. How did you get that picture? We have been to US several times and never seen the Barney characters out. We have done the picture with Barney after the show, but that's it. My daughters would just...

No, but my husband is attending a conference there June 1-6. We were going to stay there, but realized we could stay across the street at Vista Cay in a Condo for much less and have 3 bedrooms and a kitchen. Since the whole family is going that will work better for us.

Could anyone tell me what transportation options are available from Vista Cay to Universal? I was trying to figure it out on the Lynx and Mears website, but am not sure about pick up and drop off points. We will have a rental, but didn't know if there would be an economical alternative...

mckymama, I'm glad to hear you are pleased with Vista Cay. I just reserved a 3 bedroom condo there yesterday. If you have any tips when you get back, I'd love to hear them. Is the Publix open yet? Thanks again for taking the time to post. Have a wonderful vacation!

I have two girls, 7 and 3. We are going specifically to see Barney (ugh!). They adore Mr./Mrs. Peek-a-boo. They even watch a video of the preshow on youtube. It's crazy!

Thank you both for the helpful posts. I've put in an enquiry for Vista Cay. It looks like that would work well for the conference. I just wish they had private pools. I appreciate you taking the time to help me!

Last time we went to Florida, we rented a wonderful pool home in Windsor Hills. This time we are tagging along w/ DH for a business trip. He will be going to the Rosen Creek Resort (by the Convention Center) on Universal Blvd. for the conference. I would like to stay in a condo/townhouse/home...

We stayed at the Ruellen home (the first link) and it was awesome. There were so many toys for the kids and tons of DVD's to watch. They have kids dishes and silverware. We used their Maclaren stroller for the week. It was so nice not to have to take our own. Everything was clean and...

You are awesome!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to help me with that.

My family and I are in Orlando right now. We are staying in a vacation home that has parental controls on the computer. We are trying to find out what an express plus pass would cost for our day at Universal tomorrow (Wed.), or the following two days. Are the passes the same price for each of...

Ok, I think I will use the valet. Now, the next question is how much do you tip the valet?
