    NEW: Let's hear about about L & M car rental

    WDWSue and NHPM - thank you for pointing out the fact that a spouse shouldn't be considered an additional driver. I checked L&M's internet site and they specifically say that a spouse is not an additonal driver. I have e-mailed L&M asking for a refund of the $40 (In my case, $65 Canadian)...

    NEW: Let's hear about about L & M car rental

    We used them last week 3/9 - 3/16. Got a van - a KIA - it was in good shape. When we got to Orlando airport, most of the car rental counters were busy, except L&M. Took only minutes to do the paperwork and the car was easy to get to. The return on Saturday was very easy and fast. This...

    most convenient at-airport car rental company?

    Thanks for the information, RobinLyn. I currently have a reservation with L&M for a minivan, total price, including extra driver and taxes of $304. I'm getting nervous about L&M after reading so many negative posts. I tried your codes with Dollar - quite a difference in amounts - from a low...

    Peabody Hotel

    My wife and daughter stayed at the Peabody a few summers ago for a dance competition at the convention centre. They liked the hotel very much. It is pretty upscale - lots of marble and they liked the hotel room. The daily highlight is the marching of the baby ducks (live ducks) through the...

    1st visit home with three teenage guests! Opinions, please!

    Last March my son, 16, brought 2 of his 16 year old friends and my 14 year daughter was with us as well. We stayed at OKW in a 2 bedroom. The boys paid for their flights and passes. I paid for the rental van, all the groceries - we ate breakfasts in- and since we like to eat out at dinner, I...

    Faith in OKW restored!!!!!!

    We have always stayed in the Old Turtle Pond Area (9 times), especially like buildings 41, 42, 43 because they are close to the Village Pool. Last year they put us in Building 44, in the bottom corner with windows facing the road where the buses turned around. We had to move, the noise and...

    Magic Kingdom a Bust last week

    We always visit Disney in March (coinciding with our School Spring Break). This year we were there March 10 - 17 and found the crowds to be lighter than any other year we had visited. That included all 4 theme parks and Downtown Disney. We were really happy at how manageable the parks were...

    OKW information requested...

    We like the pool at Turtle Pond area - it has a fast food counter which is nice and it is less busy than the main pool. No kiddy pool though. Building 41 is smoking. Building 42 is right next to the pool, and is non-smoking. We were there last week, initially in building 44 with windows facing...

    AmEx White Glove Service

    I was at Character Shop at DD last week and had same problem of CM telling me I wasn't eligible for the 15% discount because I was using points, rather than paying cash, for my room at OKW. Having read here on the boards that we are eligible for the discount (thanks to all of you who made this...

    Must Be Kidding !!!

    We spent last Thursday afternoon at the Yacht and Beach Club pool. I was surprised how few people were there. There was no one checking for ID when we entered, and the pool towels, which I remember having to show an ID card for last year, were in open cupboards at the gates. Seems that they...

    car rental woes, what happened to the prices?

    I have a reservation at Dollar for March, using EMFL - got a rate of $199.99 per week for a minivan. I tried the FVG rate just now and it quoted me $209.99 per week. Looks like the EMFL rate is the best for me. Rick PO '92 DVC Member '93 CBR '93 Contemporary '94 OKW '94 BC '95 OKW '95 YC '96...

    Dollar promo on compacts and minivans

    I had a reservation at Interamerican in March for a mini-van. It was the same price as the Dollar promotional price, but Dollar is in the airport, Interamerican is off-aiport. I just booked with Dollar at your EMFL rate, and will save the hassle of taking a courtesy bus back and forth. Thanks...

    Oldest DVC Member

    We purchased in May, 1993 after having done the tour in 1992. I remember that only Phase I was open at that time (buildings 1 - 29). We got the free park passes starting in 1993 - what an awesome deal that was for 7 years! I never added up the savings, but it must be huge given that we went...

    When is your next WDW vacation?

    We fly from Buffalo on March 9th and return home on March 17th. We use Buffalo because the airfares are so much better in the US than in Canada at March break. First night I just booked at the new Fairfield Inn at Marriott Village ($69). Then 7 nights at DVC - Old Key West. This year in...
