The WH villa we stayed in recently and reviewed http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=19254992 is owned by a UK family and managed by transplant Brits as well, but there were plenty of bath towels, washcloths, 8 big pool towels, etc. Sounds more like good ol'fashioned attention to detail...

Cheapest I've seen is Northwest at $274 total and Airtran at $304 total (includes fees + taxes) but the NW return flight is a redeye.

Well, both mousekeeping and WDW in general ain't what it used to be - prepare for incoming fire;) Mousekeeping is being contracted out to outside vendors at some of the WDW hotels now, and lets face it, most tourism related jobs including WDW are very low wage. My personal experience is that...

Each daily visit to one of the included attractions counts as a visit. If you went to BB in the morning and returned in the afternoon it would only count as one. If you went to BB in the morning and then to DQ in the afternoon you would have used two. I'm assuming you have a 7 day base ticket...

I would write to WDW, explain what happened, and include a photo of the shoe and it's mate for comparison if at all possible. WDW should offer to pay for/replace the shoes at minimum. This incident could have resulted in a very severe injury. Escalators can and do eat toes just as easily as...

A good philosophy. A friend of ours has a refrigerator magnet(okay, I know they're tacky but everybody has at least one!) stating "Boring women keep immaculate homes." Sexist, and offensive to some, but accurate to some degree. Who wants to live their life around cleaning stuff? I remember and...

If you're taking an afternoon break, or get done early, I've been told that if you get to Cracker Barrel before 4 you still only pay the lunch buffet rate but they start bringing out the dinner food and you can eat at the lunch price.

Snowbunny, You should have mentioned the washcloth (and any other issue) to the owner when they called if you had already noticed the problem or called them or the MC. Like 5mins2disney said, all the short-term rentals are supposed to be licensed and comply with FL laws which govern rental...

My wife worked in Special Ed. for many years with a girl who has DS. I remember this well due to my wife's need to unwind every day ;) This girl had a lot of difficulty in middle school and high school. She could also be rather hostile at times, pushing, shoving and hitting others. She would...

Too bad. It's a nice place overall with lots of potential. We stayed there in Nov 2004?(or Nov some year - drain bamage is a terrible thing) and it was pretty good for the price - 89/night for a 3 bdr, and have recommnded it to others. Perhaps we shouldn't anymore. They were just roofing the new...

Delta is in Terminal 3, but there are 3 seperate concourses and arrival/departure gates can be anywhere. An hour will be more than plenty of time (no worry at all)to make a connection in CVG though as it isn't physically that big and there are underground trains and shuttles.

The Dr. is in! With Laughing Linda, and the funny five. Featuring tonite's #1 song, "Pencil Neck Geek." Pencil Neck Geek by Freddie Blassie Back when I was a kid, life was going swell. Till something happened, blew every thing to hell. That night my daddy stumbled in, all pale and weak...

Having insurance is mandated under the new law, but it is not "illegal" not to have it - you just lose financial/tax incentives. The law is that by Dec 31 you must have proof of health ins in order to claim a $219 exemption on your MA State Income Tax Return. From the Associated Press -...

Seeing a Psychologist can't hurt (although what is done based upon a daignosis or more frighteningly misdiagnosis can). You mentioned your son was almost obsessive with clocks - until he figured out how to tell time. Interesting. Did that particular "obsessive" curiosity then pass? Was it truly...

Your expectations are both unreasonable and unrealistic. Just as the world does not revolve around those without disabilities, neither does it revolve around those who are disabled. Reasonable accomodation means just that - reasonable. That means within limits imposed by the the innate physical...

Parent chiming in here. Generally, even with commuting prices factored in vs dorm plus meal plan fees, commuting will be much less expensive, though it does vary by college and also if the housing costs are subsidized(state colleges, etc). You must also consider whether or not you would have...

Hi fellow New Hampsterites;) We are also with New England Electric Co-op but it doesn't really matter, electric costs are just outrageous. Our home has oil heat but electric everything else. We used to have our hot water off our boiler but the coil died this winter and we did an emergency...

Well, here in Monroe, NH the dairy cows outnumber the 759 human inhabitants, and if the 160,000 hens at Pete and Gerry's Organic Eggs ever organize they'll overrun us all. :eek: Low taxes, low crime. We've got low taxes due to a hydro-electric dam and right of way. Most of the money goes to...

Sorry, way OT, but "Buckalew" caught my eye as I have relatives in NJ with that surname. Small world. OP, "to thine own self be true". Your life is no less important than your DH's. Sounds like you have to make a stand, painful as that may turn out to be. Counseling might help if you can get...

I would agree to some extent, but it would depend upon the circumstance. There are times when one must argue, times when points must be made, and times when leaving and submitting to unjust authority are the worst of choices. Sometimes later never comes without doing something now. Rosa Parks...
