Wow. Do you think she was being kinda jerky? Or just ignorant? It sounds like the former if she was getting some kind of kick out of it.

OP, I'd say you probably have your answer - with just a little planning you can basically avoid seeing much evidence of gay days if that is your preference. And with no planning you still would barely notice that it is gay days during your visit. I wouldn't take offense to some of the...

In my opinion that is a terrible idea. You are contemplating securing a vacation by your family's home. Given that it is clearly a luxury and not a need, it's my feeling that you should either save for it or be able to pay off the credit card in full the month that you get the big vacation...

I think a couple of things really matter that have only been touched on lightly in this thread. The first is personailities. If you are the sort to assert your families needs and say 'this is what we're doing/not doing - you are welcome to join in', then I think you will be fine (assuming you...

We tend to travel relatively light (DW, DS6, DS4, and myself). We went recently and the only things we brought with us when we left the stroller was our small camera (hooked to my belt), and our fanny pack which had our cards and money (and, of course, fast passes). For the things with modest...

We went this past August 16-24 and had a great experience. The lines were manageable - not bad in my opinion. It was hot and humid, as you'd expect, but I guess we were prepared as it did not phase us much at all. The rain came and went very quickly except for two times when it rained for a...

I would suggest not doing it. First, you are effectively advertising a commerical interest in the classroom. Disney, after all, is a corporation whose primary puspose is to make a profit for its stockholders (not that there is anything wrong with that). Second, you may inadvertantly...

I'm a little surprised to see how many K students are reading - and chapter books. DS6 just started 1st grade and can read only very simple of books. I was under the impression that reading is really "taught" in 1st grade. He had full day K last year. I know that my nephew also couldn't read...

I think Dave Ramsey is helpful to some people - primarily as a motivator. Many posts in this forum have pointed out his "weaker" points, or strategies that mat not be the best in terms of pure, most efficient economic improvement. However, these strategies are designed to win the psyche of...

That was a good one. Thanks!

I would not tip installers generally. They are skilled technicians and their compensation should reflect that (I'm not say that it always does - but it should). As far as appliance delivery guys - I would tip them it there was some particularly challenging aspect to the delivery such as a 2nd...

According to UOG, spring break season begins aout the weekend of March 13th. If you can go before that you will be in very good shape. UOG seems to show increasing May crowds around the weekend of the 22nd. Before that you are probably ok. UOG seems to indicate, however, that the pre-13th...

Just got back from Pop - room was clean and nice. We were in the 60's area - building 4.

We really like CP, but we usually use it to gain early access into MK. If you are going to sleep in that day then that would not benefit you, but if you are up for getting there early, it is really peaceful in the park before it opens and great pictures can be had. The food is good, the...

We just came back and rented a double jogging stroller for DS4 and DS6 from Orlando Stroller Rental. It worked at great, and for about a third of the cost of Disney rentals (and we could use them outside the parks). I was a little suspect about using strollers, but DW "convinced" me, and I am...

We recently returned from a week at DW. We stayed at Pop Century for 8 days. Generally we really like Pop, but we were put off by the frequent temporary pool closures due presumably to "accidents" :eek:. The main pool seemed to a be closed at least daily, and a few times it happened multiple...

I found an article about the new strollers. Are they really more like bike trailer type strollers? I really liked the older version and the old prices too. We are really not sure what to do. We have a 4 year old and a 5 almost 6 year old and we will be there in late Aug. I am thinking they...

We are interested in stroller 5 at Pop. We are arriving on the 15th. It looks like there is one available. Please let me know what I need to do. Thanks.

Thanks for your replies, they were very helpful. Here's what happened. After seeing the responses from lds0191 and milmore104 I decided to call Disney. The reservationist agreed that we should not have been charged the full amount upfront if we were using the Dining Plan. As she was looking...

We made reservations at Hoop Dee Doo and, consistent with what I have read, they charged us the full amount on our credit card. I just double checked my cc statement and the full amout was indeed charged. When we booked the res the woman told us our card would be charged in full upfront for the...
