    Another last minute question-backless booster

    I have flown several times with both my boys' backless boosters. They each carry them onto the plane themselves and we put them in the overhead bins as they are, no bag at all. This way we have them when we get off the plane and get our car. I've had luggage delayed before, so I never want to...

    CRAZY July car rental prices!

    I decided to e-mail Mary as well and just received a response from her about the Island Realty code. It seems that Thrifty requested that the owner not publish it and that is why it was removed from mousesavers. Hope this clarifies things a bit. I would not personally consider it a...

    CRAZY July car rental prices!

    Don't worry. No need to apologize :). I hope we get some kind of answer. I'm actually in real estate, so I'm kinda hoping I can 'explain' my use of the code through a 'contact', if there is an issue. We'll see.

    CRAZY July car rental prices!

    Well I posted here because of the debate over the code. I figured that was ok since I'm not discussing the actual rates etc for December, just the issue of concern with use of this code. Do you expect a response from Mary about this? I thought about e-mailing her but I figured the chances...

    CRAZY July car rental prices!

    I've also booked a car for December using 004C005932 code (Island Realty). And I felt fine with it for the reasons mentioned by the PP, having found it on Mousesavers. BUT, I've just checked again and this code no longer appears at Mousesavers. Does anyone know why? I wonder if the owner...

    travel agent recommendations please

    Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the feedback. I have printed up this thread and the info I rec'd through pm's, and I will be giving it to her this morning. I'm sure she'll pick a very good agent. :)

    travel agent recommendations please

    No she doesn't. This is her first trip so she wants a good agent that can be available to her and her million questions (although I've been answering a lot of them!). And of course her biggest concern is being able to switch her reservation when the specials are released. She really wants an...

    Have you ever....

    Yep, we did this also and it worked out beautifully. Ordered about ten days before we left and the package was waiting for us on arrival. You get all the shipment trfacking info so you know exactly when it gets to Disney. Don't forget that you have to mark your arrival date on the...

    travel agent recommendations please

    My friend has asked me for a recommendation for a Disney specialized travel agent. I previously used Small World Vacations to book my trip to Disney. I was not particularily thrilled with my agent and am not recommending her for a couple of reasons. However I remember a previous thread or two...

    Commercials you dislike or hate....

    All those Viagra and Cialis commercials. Hate them, hate them hate them!!! Soo stupid and annoying. Not because of the subject, but the way it's so ridiculously shown. I always scream 'My god, couldn't you just have skipped the opera altogether and stayed home?' no, they have to play some...

    Am I crazy, or is 7 too young to be ALONE in the Parks

    I agree with everything Ahecht has written. It has become a ridiculously paranoid, overprotected world for today's kids. They are so much less 'street smart' than we were, and in my opinion it's because we never leave them alone to develop any critical thinking and problem solving skills...

    Is DC worth the $$ if you are not planning on swimming with the dolphins?

    Well, we did it with the dolphin swim, but even without it would have been a beautiful day. I don't know when you are planning to go, but if it is during a time that is generally hot and you can pretty much count on getting a hot sunny day, I would say it would be worth it. We thought it was...

    Ordering from Disneyshopping.com

    I did this for our trip firstn week of November and ordered I think about 10 days before. I only ordered items that were in stock and it was shipped right away so that it arrived about 7 days before our check-in. Everything worked beautifully and the box was waiting for us at POP upon...

    Pls Advise: Transferring your Disney reservation to a TA

    Well, since you've already taken care of everything I don't see any reason to do so. I booked with a TA and in retrospect I wouldn't do it again. I also hated not having access to my reservation directly. Everything had to be done by the TA and that annoyed me. And to be totally honest I...

    OT: I am shocked about teacher gift request!!!!!

    I don't really understand why you are so upset about this? I don't think this class mom was so out of line. I mean I can see how a $20 per child request might seem excessive to some, but from what you say she did indicate that people could give any amount, right? I mean a gift is a token of...

    WAY OT - 5 yr. old girl and B.O.

    I had the exact same problem last summer with my 7 year old DS. Kinda onioon smell, I'd say. Shocked me, really. Especially because he is not a sweaty kid at all. It wasn't like it left a trail or anything, but when I would get him dressed in the morning I was close enough to him to smell...

    Should I rent a gps or is it easy to drive around Disney

    Well, I have no problem admitting that I am completely directionally impaired! Don't give me directions with north and south, just tell me left or right. :lmao: So having said that, and having rented a car during our stay two weeks ago, I say absolutely NO gps required. Everything is sooo...

    Valet parking.... best tip I got!

    Gee DiznEeyore, no need to get so testy. I obviously got this info here, so didn't think there was anything wrong with posting it. It worked for us. We very clearly asked at the valet counter if we were allowed to do this at both the Contemporary and GF. Initially I wasn't certain and that...

    Valet parking.... best tip I got!

    We rented a car while in Disney and the best tip I got was about the valet parking at the monorail resorts. Fantastic for the days you go to MK. Valet parking costs $10 (plus a tip, of course) and entitles you to stay as long as you like. Regular guest self-parking only allows you 3 hours of...

    Heys bags

    Used my Heys travelmate for our 8 day trip 10/30 - 11/07. Worked beautifully! Carried our passes, 2 autograph books, marker, camera, cell phone, gum, Gravol, tylenol travel-sized tube, chapstick, key for the safe, extra batteries, cash, and on a couple of days 4 ponchos. Those were from our...
