    Best strategies for an inexpensive Disney family trip??

    Are you planning on flying? Check out the rewards programs for credit cards like Southwest or Jet Blue. That saved us a lot in air fare. You do have to plan about a year ahead of your planned trip.

    You squeeze them into your mouth as you do the shot or take a toothpick. It's more environmental over plastic.

    Opinions on best time to book Southwest flights

    During the major breaks (Christmas, Presidents week, Easter week and 4th of July) I have had to book right at release and the prices did not decrease and were sold out within minutes. I expect March will not decrease much because the travel time is high demand and the MAX8 issue is still relevant.

    Memorial Day Crowds

    My friend and her family were in Disney over Columbus Day and the crowds were very heavy. The standby wait time was insane for her. We were thinking of going over Memorial Day weekend but really aren't locked into those days. Typically are crowds insanely busy during that holiday? TIA.

    On Property vs. Renting a house

    I have done both and each one has it's pros and cons. If I am going for 4-5 nights (we usually take a 6am flight to MCO and leave MCO after 6pm) I stay onsite for the convenience because it is a short trip. For vacays longer than 5 night I prefer offsite in condos or houses with a full kitchen...
