    FAQ: Flying Out of Buffalo OR Detroit

    Does anyone know if Southwest is still flying nonstop to Orlando from Flint? I've been looking and can't see it. Or does anyone besides Spirit and Delta fly nonstop from Detroit to Orlando? I've looked on Southwest website, but can't seem to find the info. We would fly out of Detroit, Columbus...

    Christmas thread for girls 6-10

    I have a 10 year old, and she would not be interested in any of those things listed above, except maybe the snow stuff and movie gift cards. She had a Kidz Bop CD once and never played it. Wanted the real thing, then ditched the CD player altogether. So I think some of those things listed are...

    2015 Annual Christmas Gift List Ideas for TEEN GIRLS

    i am having a hard time coming up with ideas for DD13. I did get some ideas from this thread last year, so I hope more people contribute. So far, none of the ideas posted here are anything my D would be interested in. Well, maybe the hair straightener. I must admit to being puzzled by the...

    Gatlinburg-- Just got back

    we went for the very first time last August. While we had alot of fun, we are in no hurry to go back. We stayed at Music Road Hotel, and it was very nice. Kids (11, 8) loved the pool area. Breakfast was delicious. We did alot of hiking in the GSM park, but I guess I didn't realize how far...

    Due to cold weather -35 no school Monday and Tuesday

    Southwestern Ontario here. Buses cancelled today, but school is open. No outdoor recess though. Our board here does not cancel school ahead of time. They wait until that morning. We've only had one day so far this year that school was actually closed, but many days of no buses. I find it...

    Your best & worst of online Christmas shopping

    Best: amazon.ca, oldnavy.ca, chapters.ca Worst: Cineplex and ToysRUs.com Cineplex forgot part of my order. Their customer service number is never answered and the mailbox is full. I have emailed, but don't expect a response based on the number of complaints about this on their Facebook page...

    Wedding guests

    but this is what I don't understand. Even if you don't drink or dance, would you not want to see your friend get married? People would prefer to skip the wedding of a friend because they wouldn't have fun without their spouse? Isn't this the time to put your wishes aside and support your friend...

    Wedding guests

    I sort of understand the "I'm not coming without my spouse" thing, but not really. If I was friends with someone, and my husband didn't know them, neither of us would be upset if he wasn't invited to their wedding. And I would definitely go. I can totally understand the budget aspect. I don't...

    Teacher gifts

    I live in Ontario, and have never heard of "class moms" either, nor would I contribute if there was one. The teachers themselves coordinate volunteers for class trips and in the classroom. We do have "extra teachers" such as gym, and French, but we have always had one main teacher per class...

    anyone know if Costco has American Girl stuff?

    I just saw on the budget board that some Costco's in the States had the AG pets and books. We don't have a Costco here, but I would be willing to drive to one if anyone has seen the AG stuff in Canadian Costco's. thanks

    Port Orleans Riverside! Thoughts and opinions!

    I"m going to be in the minority here, but we didn't like POR at all. We were just at WDW from Sept 14-20. We ended up switching resorts halfway through. I'd done a ton of research before we went, so was truly expecting to love it. Check in was terrible (we did online check in, and it was at...

    Crowds - What is NORMAL?

    we were there from the 14-20 just recently. we have been twice before around this time of here and thought it was much, much busier than before. However, as someone else mentioned, the lines weren't that bad. So, apparently everyone was out walking around, and not filling the lines, but still...

    Longest you have waited on a bus?

    we waited over 50 minutes about a week ago from POR to AK. This was at 7:20 in the morning on a non-recommended day (by EasyWDW). The park didn't open until 9, so there was no way that a bus was already full and had passed us by. There was a cast member there, and he called about 3 times for the...

    Which park to do on arrival day?

    Yes I definitely waited too long to ask. We went to US the first day.got there around 1. Saved IOA for when we had early entry which was today and tomorrow too. I think it worked out well. Thanks for replying though.

    Which park to do on arrival day?

    We are arriving at RPR around noon today. We have 3 day tix and will probably do 2 days at IOA which park should we do today? Is it worth going to Harry Potter so late in the day? The disney parks were really busy this week so we are trying to maximize our time.thanks.

    can we bring our own drinks to the pool?

    we are staying at RPR for two nights and wondered if we could bring a travel mug with our own drink in it down to the pool. We did it last time at a Disney hotel, and had a little cooler bag with refills in it. Very discreetly poured a beer or two into the travel mug. Stashed the empty cans back...

    can someone help me with the math?

    thanks for the info. I guess that's what I was missing. I think I'll just forget about the AP rate. I might be able to get some discounts on dining and merch with the CAA card anyway. thanks again!

    can someone help me with the math?

    we are heading to Universal in September for 2 nights/3 days. I am trying to figure out which tickets to buy and from where, and also whether it makes sense to buy an AP to get the discounted hotel room. I've been playing around with the numbers so much I'm confusing myself! currently I have...
