Currency Conversion Fees (or Currency Exchange Fees) are hidden in your transaction. Normally they are 2.0%-3.5% on top of exchange rates, but can vary from card to card. As a sidebar: I found out tonight, thanks to RFD, "Chase has introduced an Amazon.ca Visa credit card which has no...

:rotfl: Best part for me: I had a CM at the CRO yesterday who felt SO bad. She knew having to refund my $200 package deposit to switch for an AP room only booking was going to cost me money. I actually said "too bad you can't charge in Canadian funds" - so she put me on hold, to see if...

Granted Montreal is better than Toronto for connections - but never will I do either airport without at least 1.5 hours or more when kids are in tow. First, the family/vip/connecting planes line ups are a distaster. Compounding matters are the stresses of hoping your plane lands on time in...

I don't pay the fee, here's why... WestJet told me until my kids are over the age of 11 - the computer is setup to auto assign seats for our family *together*. This only works if you correctly purchase tickets with the "adults" and "kids" tickets selected. In our case, this means we end up...

If it's any help - I was down at Disney in December 2011 for two weeks. Came home to celebrate Christmas and New Year, and flew back to Disney to run in Marathon Weekend. While my mileage during my POP stay was less than I'd normally run at home, the walking/pushing stroller all day can be...

I hear you - budget, budget, budget :rolleyes: When in doubt, call SIL ;) She informed me they bought a certificate "thingy" off a site like Groupon. She does not remember which one specifically, but it made the stay affordable. She also mentioned when she ran pricing initially, Expedia...

GAH!! I've just sent my BIL another message, asking him how he secured his rate. He's on the road tonight, so I expect I'll know more come morning.

For a first timer kiddo, CM's is almost one of those "must do" experiences. Yes, the food is less than spectacular (really horrible IMO for veggies/vegans). However, it had been a favorite for both my boys - they love the character interaction, the monorails overhead, etc. HOWEVER...

I can't confess to staying here personally - but my BIL, his wife and three kids did late last year. Perhaps do a check online for rates/deals and reviews? They got their pricing through a "deal" site - something under $150/night + parkig. I know it had a pool, and the rooms offered a...

Race Weekend is truly a blast - it's one of the few times I'm happy to come home from vacation exhausted :thumbsup2

My hubby's got some leave at the end of May - email sent, not sure if we can swing something. Fingers crossed for :wizard:

I run daily during my stays, and during a Jan 2012 trip - I asked the the Security CM if the bridge would open. My thinking was more running paths to explore... didn't even think about the food angle. In any case, the answer was "yes, the bridge will link both resorts" :thumbsup2

If the YYZ agents let you through, consider yourself lucky. Technically, the agents in Miami are correct, it's ONE carry and ONE personal item. As a frequent traveler - the volume of bags people are lugging on planes these days to avoid fees is insane, and I honestly appreciate when the gate...

I just read through the Dis' major Ticket thread - and came to realize it might be more beneficial to upgrade everyone to an AP. Now to go play around with the numbers... I'm sure the DH will be thrilled to see I've found another way to give Disney our money ;)

I tried searching, but come up empty handed - and would love this information for budgeting purposes! We are headed to WDW in December, and this trip we are onsite for 12 days. Our hoppers are only valid for the usual 10 days. Here's the info I'm seeking... 1. My ticket is being...

I'd love a picture with Candace - since I'm rather confident I acted the same way with my brother way back when. "Mom, Mom, Mom!" :rotfl2:

Thank you - glad to know I'm not the only how was convinced it was per night. I'm not sure if the CRO agent was new or what, but in all my Disney stays - my tix are usually a couple of days shorter due to arrival and departure times. So, I was shocked when she started claiming my meals...

Thanks Maura - and if it helps for the main page listing, I'm partnered up with Nicole (NNNikkiNikN)

We have a stay booked for December, under the free dining package. What I'm trying to understand is the following... We are staying for 11 nights/12 days Our tickets are 10 Day MYWPH According to the invoice, our DDP is valid per person, "per night". When I was on the phone making a...

I'm partnered up :cool1:
