    This is why you should get travel insurance...

    Hi RossK, glad you got home and all well in the end. I couldn't agree more about the insurance. A stomach bug on a cruise ship which was treated with a simple anti-emetic and paracetamol set me back over £250! Thankfully also covered by insurance. The price list at the medical centre made...

    First Trip to DLP

    Hi There. I was at DLRP for New Year last Year. It is very cold. and Very busy, but with the advantage that everything is open. Be prepared for long queues and use a fastpass whenever possible and it is manageable. Personally I wouldnt do the park for bringing in the new year again, it was...

    Complaining to DLP - update on #20

    Good luck with your complaint, but dont hold your breath. I complained last January 08 about safety concerns I had during a new year break. Still waiting for a reply:mad: They are good if you go to staff at the park with a problem, but 'back home' customer service is non existant. g-luck...

    Cappucchino with Cream

    Bit of a stupid thread (sorry) but I'm perplexed. Previous visits to DLRP we were able to buy a Cappuccino with (or without) cream in most cafe outlets. Just back this time and the only place in the whole resort doing anything other than White Coffee was the ?Newly Renamed? "Coffee...

    Eating At Disney Village

    EEK!! Next time I'm at Annettes I think I'll stand! Sorry to hear about your incident, I hope your DW is better now. Not really the 'Disney' experience you would have been hoping for! As far as food goes I dont rate PH at all. I had a major fall out with the photog. after he made my...

    taking kids out of school

    Just to 'stir things up' how do the people who don't think we should take the kids out of school feel about me doing it? I work in the emergency services- Shift work and Loooong Hours. (at the moment I am averaging a 75 hour week) My leave (vacation time) is rostered, ie. my station officer...

    WDW and Universal Tickets.

    We are going gor 14 days so yes, it is a bit excessive, but to be honest the Disney tickets are just about as cheap for the two weeks as for one, so gives us better flexability on when to go, and we can do downtown stuff every evening as well (when not at a park). The Orlando is a different...

    WDW and Universal Tickets.

    Can anyone with a bit of experience recommend the best place to get our Tickets before heading out to Florida? We have been to WDW twice now, both times getting our tickets through the Travel Agent. I'm sure there MUST be a cheaper way, but I would want to get them from a reliable supplier...

    Should I stay @ POP????????

    I stayed at pop last year, with no particular complaints. The food court was OK the pool was nice, there was a shop. It did the job. Frozen coke machine was a boon too- we were in Aug as well, and it was hot. We stayed at All Stars movies year before, and are in All stars music this July, I...

    Transportation Accessibility

    Hi there. I dont know how mich help I can be, but this is the sum total of what I know. (afraid its not a lot!) The busses at the disney resort are NOT wheelchair friendly in the way the american resorts are. There are no ramps for access, and the busses are MOBBED. There is no...

    International Drive - On foot- Is it possible?

    We stayed wt WDW last 2 visits but costs are limiting us this now. We were hoping to stay on International Drive next summer, probably July. The problem I have is we don't drive. I had been looking at the Comfort Inn Universal Studios Area, but I'm not sure if it is walking distance of the...

    Any suggestions, comments or ideas ? DLRP in June 2008 and WDW 2009 ?

    I dont claim to be an expert in any sense on the Money aspects of travelling, but as far as Your DDs enjoying WDW as much as DLRP I dont see it being a problem. I had 2x DLRP and 1x WDW visits last year, and am doing the same again this year. It really (and I mean REALLY) stretches the...
