If you look at most hotel bills you will see a charge sometimes called a "tax" or "tourism charge" etc.. It is NOT a legitimate tax as it is not levied by any official level of government with the power to impose taxes. It is usually put on there by the hotels and the claim is it often...

If you follow any of the tour guides you will be ahead of the game. We used the Unofficial Guide to WD plans and they worked absolutely fantastic. The key is review the ride descriptions and cross out anything that you don't want to see and move on. Lots of people seem to be moving around like...

We flew out of Buffalo for the first time as a family. Southwest direct to Orlando for 795.00 cdn all in for 4 people. PIA would have cost us 2200-2400 all in. Go to the buffalo airport web site and they list all the airlines that fly out of there with hotlinks to the individual web sites...

Whats with the attraction of this restaraunt? Its overpriced, the food is mediocre and the "show" is a let down after doing a disney resort all day. Our 5 & 7 year olds would rather go to a MacDonalds with a play land over a rainforest cafe. That said, our experience was with two...

My seven year old daughter and myself saw it this February on our first trip to Disney. We followed the Unofficial Disney guide 2 day touring plan and it is listed on it so off we went. It was really hot and the waiting area was cool and quiet. We sat on the floor against a wall which was...

Is one hour enough since your first connection will involve having to clear US customs. I would be worried that the connection is a little tight. After clearing customs on the first stop it should be smooth sailing. Great rate. We flew out of Buffalo for just under 200.00 cdn return. South...

This was definitely one of our top 5 things after visiting all 4 parks. You could definitely see "the lion king" musicals influence on this show and it was worth the half hour wait. Our 5 year old boy was only partially in to this show but our 7 year old daughter loved it (and so did we). I'm...

Poor customer service from an airline that is trying to pick up the pieces from the two "held for hours on the plane" incidents. If you read the terms it clearly states that you are responsible for reconfirming your flight times prior to departure but moving the flight earlier with no...

Bet your airport taxes etc.. on the three tickets is equal to or more than the cost of three tickets out of Buffalo (all in including taxes). I was looking at doing this exact same thing and it was cheaper to go out of Buffalo. That said, our flight out of Buffalo got canceled due to the ice...

I would like to hear anyones experience with the check in and security screening at Tampa. We flew out of Orlando Feb 12 and it was 25 minutes to check our bags with South West (already had boarding passes) and almost an hour to clear security (Threat level was orange). SW and security had...

We just stayed in a standard room at the Swan Feb 9/10/11. Two queen beds. Two adults and two children (5 & 7). Room was spotless and comfortable but a bit crowded for that many people. View was a corner standard overlooking epcot so we could see the fireworks. Not a lot of drawer space...

From Winston Churchill and the 403 area to the Buffalo airport using Highway 407 toll roads and the Peace Bridge took exactly 1:47 minutes in good weather. We hit the border at 4 pm and it took 10 minutes at the most. coming back via Queenston/Lewston Bridge and the toll road ($1.00) took...

There is a Comfort in right on the edge of the market area and within walking distance of the canal. I stay at the Hampton Inn out by St Laurent Shopping Mall. Big rooms with fridge/microwave, nice pool and hot tub and breakfast. goes for about 150 a night.

Lets here it for Buffalo weather. Supposed to fly out Friday at noon on Southwest. Knew the storm was coming so went down Thursday night and stayed at the holiday inn express right across from the airport. (nice) Friday AM there is ice/freezing rain but no snow. Call SW at 9 confirm we are on...

WE have been members for about a year. A friend saved my butt when I locked myself out of the car. CAA showed up in 15 minutes and had it open in about 60 seconds. Would have cost me 50 dollars for the same service from a private tow truck. Joined the next day. Hotel discounts will pay for...

There are several threads on this topic. Health insurance is available through almost any bank but we use the CAA. Their members rate is about 10-20% cheaper than the equivalent bank rate and the policy is they pay up front versus you pay and get reimbursed. If you have a company health...

Tigercat, you can fill out a "renewal" application form since yours hasn't expired. It doesn't require all the cosigners etc.. Get it online http://www.ppt.gc.ca/form/index.aspx?lang=eng I renewed mine in November at the Mississauga office (that is one of the busiest) and I waited maybe...

Note that the magic express luggage transfer can take a while to get to your room. If you want to change and hit the pool etc make sure that you take that in your carry on just to be safe. Pearson is as described. Pick up luggage and go through US customs. Orlando arrival is just like a US...

What day are you flying out on? There is a morning rush to clear security and then US customs and that can back up an hour or so depending on the day/time. Rush hour is around 7 am with all the business travelers trying to get to the USA for work. If you are there at 5 am I can't see it being...

We flew westjet out of Hamilton to Calgary in May and it was great. Saved a money versus flying out of Pearson, the airport was fantastic (no crowds at all, no line at security, parking was right at the terminal and cheap). the only proviso is there is a minimal service and a small news stand...
