    Please help me sort out fact from fiction on trip advisor

    Also, TA reviews are heavily influenced by how much someone pays for the room. It is not uncommon outside of Disney for one person staying at a resort to pay $299 and then the next person got a deal for $99. Most people would probably have different expectations at $299 than $99.

    Please help me sort out fact from fiction on trip advisor

    My hard fast rule for Tripadvisor is to immediately discount all reviews that have the title of "Worst Hotel Ever" or "Worst trip ever". Generally anybody that uses that phrase is someone that doesn't share the same princilples and viewpoints that I do. But that's just me:)

    you said technically no, as in it is some sort of exemption. I just wanted to clarify that to the OP. This has been around for a long time at the SOG.

    What Are Gas Prices Where You Are?

    has since gone to $2.13. If gas can stay around $2 a gallon during this 1.5 to 2 year slump the economy is going to be in, I'd take it.

    This sounds like something out of Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang. But of course Cinderellas castle is modeled off of the Neuscaunstein Castle that was featured in the movie.
