    MA to FL Thanksgiving week... ideas?

    This is a cross post... I originally posted it on the Budget Board before I even realized there was a Transportation Board, hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting it here too, but I thought I would get more specific info from this board. SO, my inlaws are retired and living in southern...

    MA to FL Thanksgiving week... ideas?

    Thanks for the reply! I'm figuring if we left Friday night, drove through the night (I'm a night shift person, and DH used to be, so we are pretty nocturnal and used to staying up all night) and most of Saturday that would get us most of the way there. We could stop somewhere Saturday, eat...

    MA to FL Thanksgiving week... ideas?

    SO, my inlaws are retired and living in southern FL. We are invited to come down for Thanksgiving this year, and we would really like to do so since we haven't been down to see them at their new home as of yet. The issue is how to get there. I have been pricing out airfare for Thanksgiving...

    Free wi-fi

    Yep! We just got back from 6 nights at HRH and wifi is now free- for up to 4 devices per room. It was a great perk.

    Ohana/Wishes question

    Hi there... We are heading down to Universal for 6 nights, leaving tomorrow :cool1:. We were given a pretty generous Disney gift card for Christmas (a little miscommunication occured) and we have decided to head over to DTD to shop a little one night, and I have made a reservation for Ohana's...

    Sorry kids! We're going to the DARK SIDE!

    SO- my truck (GMC Envoy- we call it the "Mom-voy") is at the mechanics! I am feeling your pain. Thankfully my mom has two cars- she has a company car for her work which she can drive all the time, and she has an old Volvo that's been paid off forever, but she won't let it go. She calls it...

    Disney gc use at DTD restuarants

    Hi there... not sure if this is the correct spot to post this or not, mods please feel free to move it this if it doesn't belong here. My inlaws very graciously gave us a generous Disney gift card to use on our upcoming trip to... Universal. :rotfl2: They mean well... I think to them...

    AP's are saying expired...

    Ok.. I bought my AP's- 3 Power Passes and one Preferred Pass online from Universal- they just came in the mail the other day. We leave on our vacation on Wednesday :goodvibes and I went online tonight and tried to register them (not even sure why... because I could?... not even sure what the...

    TGIV- Thank God It's Vacationtime!

    Thank you for that attitude adjustment, I needed it. A lot of this stems from the fact that I feel like we are... this is awful... but that we are an after thought to them. I am SUPER close to my family, and I get it that not all family's are the same, but we don't live that far from them and...

    TGIV- Thank God It's Vacationtime!

    Ok. So I'm having a... less than nice.... moment right now. I'm trying to NOT sound like a spoiled petulant brat right now. I really am. We don't see my in laws often- DH's dad and his wife. We aren't especially close to them. We didn't see them at Christmas because my FIL had surgery. They...

    Tracking shows 'delivered' but it's not here

    Yep. I ordered 2 pairs of shoes from 6pm.com and the tracking said delivered. They weren't at my house. The next day, my neighbor came over with a box and said it was delivered to her front door. It was one pair of the shoes. The two pairs were under the same tracking number. I asked her...

    Six flags New England vs great America vs great adventure?

    I've been to the Six Flags New England twice since it has been six flags- years ago it was called Riverside Park and I went there a bunch as a kid and teenager (80's and early 90's) and loved it. We went to Six Flags twice in 2010- once in July, and again in October for the Halloween events-...

    Housekeeping question

    So I am in the homestretch of our vacation planning countdown. Starting to figure out how much money we need to bring with us for our stay. I remember when we have stayed at Disney we made "mouse keeping" envelopes to leave for the housekeepers and sometimes we came back to towel animals or the...

    TGIV- Thank God It's Vacationtime!

    So today I am looking at menus of all the restaurants trying to get an idea of where we will want to eat and what to expect to spend on food. We have always used the Dining Plan during our Disney vacations, and while the DDP had changed a lot since we first started using it (and not for the...

    cost of wands in Ollivanders

    Thank you... I will let him know that a wand will eat up a good chunk of his spending money. If that's what he wants, fine, its his money but I'd hate to see him blow money on something he will regret buying later. I will buy them each a little something here and there but I really want them...

    5 nights too long? 1st timer.

    I worried about this myself. We are going for 6 nights, leaving next week. That gives us 5 park days. I've "done" Disney in 5 days before, but it was rushed, chaotic, and we still didn't see or do everything we wanted too. Heck, I've been to Disney 10+ times in my life and I still haven't...

    Toiletries etc at HRH club level

    Woo Hoo... that is great to hear that they are good hair dryers, thank you! That will save me some room in my bag. Now if I could only figure out what to wear....

    Sorry kids! We're going to the DARK SIDE!

    Hi there... I just read your trip report... I'm a vacation planner too... sometimes I will go to Disney's site and "book" the most expensive vacation I can create then the least expensive one. I've always said I want to stay in each Disney resort at some point in my life- kind of a bucket list...
