WDW crowds will be lower - I would argue they already are. My DH and I just returned from a few days in Orlando and we thought the crowds were lower this year than in years past. I also thought the ratio of Europeans visiting was higher this year than in the past. The credit crunch already is...

We are certainly scaling back and watching our money, though we both have secure jobs. Our goal is to have 2-3 years worth of mortgage payments in the bank, which admittedly is on the extreme side of fiscal conservatism. One of the (many) problems facing Wall Street right now is a lack of...

My DH and I went last year and checked in the last day of free dining. While the parks were crowded, I thought they were completely manageable. Yes, fantasyland was always crowded, and Soarin and Test Track always had waits. We did everything we wanted to multiple times over. We didn't use a...

I recently ordered from optical4less (very similar to Zenni) without any issues. If you are concerned, I would email their customer service area for more help. Do you know your rx and have you had your eyes checked recently? You could also bring the glasses to a pearl vision or the like and...

Hi everyone, I've been searching a few photo forums trying to come up with a good camera to fit some interesting requirements. I've learned a lot by reading these forums, and everyone has always been very helpful with suggestions for new cameras. I'm starting a new job, and need a good...

Both the Met and the Museum of Natural History are suggested donations and neither should give you trouble if you fork over $1. I've given 0.25 many, many times at the Met during college and no one batted an eye. The MoNH is a little different - if you want to see one of their "special"...

The number of flights to the Orlando area have been cut by most major airlines as the route is one of the least profitable. Vegas has also seen a similar amount of reductions. They are mainly leisure routes and consumers who fly them typically are loyal to the lowest price rather than a specific...

I would decide how much you want to pay per night first, then look into priceline for a NYC hotel and see if its doable before going out into NJ (disclaimer: We live in NYC, NJ is very close and easy to commute into NYC but for us its not the same as living in NYC). Check tripadvisor as well - I...

I've skipped around a lot in the thread, but wanted to add in a few points. No link b/t vaccines and autism has ever been proven in a medical journal, though the media seems to have a different opinion. Jenny McCarthy mentioned on Larry King that the child of a friend of hers developed autism...

Hi everyone, My DH and I are moving in 3 weeks (just found out earlier today our closing date!) and now have to start thinking about packing up our apartment. I was wondering if anyone had any good sites/ideas for finding boxes cheaply. We live in NYC so I'm hesitant to go to our local...

Def call the hospital's billing department - almost all of them will work with you, but you will most likely be on the hook for some money. I completely agree with what other posters have mentioned about leaving AMA, and another point you can bring up is if anyone informed you of the financial...

Double post - sorry!

My DH works in the banking business in NY (great times, I know) and we're in contract to buy an apartment in the city. We signed the contract in late Dec (co-op board approval also takes forever - thankfully!) and before most of the financial firms starting layoffs, and certainly before Bear...

I would call your doctor just to be safe. Coumadin takes 3-5 days to work (you need to make sure your INR is b/t 2-3), which is why you are taking Lovenox (which is low molecular weight heparin) since it works immediately and once you stop it (after you are theraputic on the Coumadin), it...

Wow - some really amazing shots! Here's my contribution - the Swan and the Dolphin from Epcot

ITA agree with the above poster who suggested cutting out meat. At this point my DH are essentially vegetarians (in part by choice) and our meal bills have gone down significantly. Options we like: Pea Soup: 1 lb of goya green or yellow peas (any brand works, this is the one I buy) 8...

Wow - some really great pics here! From the World Paviliion Italy:
