    Online Check in but not going to room till next day

    I have a trip planned using my points but an option came up to spend our first night at a Universal hotel (we had planned on spending our first full day there before the rest of the week at the Disney parks). Is there any reason it wouldn't be ok to do online check in for our Sunday arrival but...

    Cruise insurance

    We are planning a family cruise on the Dream in July with my older parents, brother & his young son, sister and her daughter and my husband and teen son. My parents are treating all of us!! We are concerned that my brother may decide at the last minute (maybe a few weeks before) that he won’t be...

    Drivers Ed Ahhhhhhh!

    I may be a bit biased since I was a classroom instructor for 12 years (along with 6 years of in the car instruction) but I think the classroom is a much better option. On line is definitely more convenient- but we are talking about teens learning how to drive a machine that has the potential to...

    Ticket Question

    I am going to Universal with my son in April and my husband has the ability to purchase our tickets (1 day park to park) at a discount. I was planning on purchasing the tickets prior to our trip and add the express feature- would I be able to add the express to the discounted tickets? If so, can...

    Book suggestions for a long lay up?

    I would highly recommend 11/22/63 by Stephen King- even if you are not a Stephen King fan (although I am) it is truly a fantastic book- the premise is time travel. I have read it twice and thoroughly enjoyed both times- it is long, 900 pages? Good luck with your recovery!

    Other airports that are driving distance...

    We fly from Boston to Palm Beach International (PBI) direct flight on Jet Blue, might be worth looking at. It will take 2.5 hours to drive to the dock.

    Tips on bringing a friend on a vacation (not Disney)

    I have one child- so we have a fair bit of experience with bringing a friend along. We always pay, we do not accept $ from the parent. We have done some pretty fun things that have been on the pricey side. These would not be in the other parents budget (almost all his friends have several...

    Nassau: Atlantis?

    We did the Atlantis excursion in Oct with our 9 year old son and we are all still talking about it! It was awesome and so worth the $, no lines, warm and we did everything. My son just had to write 5 paragraph's on the best day of his life and he wrote about the cruise with 2 paragraphs on...

    Celebrities you've met

    I have met Steven Tyler several times and even got to watch a private taping at the beach when Aerosmith did the opening for the Espy awards several years ago. Davey Jones (The Monkees) Scott Wolf (Party of Five) and his wife Kelly (Real World) Had dinner with Bobby Farrelly of the Farrelly...

    Adult Only Wedding Receptions

    At my wedding we had adults only- except for the little girl who I had taken care of for 6 years and then I had a few teen cousins. I think it is perfectly acceptable to pick and choose which children are invited- immediately family/close family may be invited - or not. They may want a few...

    Wedding gifts

    Generally speaking we go with a set amount, which has changed over the years. For family we always do more, but right now the gift we give is cash ( I really think that for a wedding that is what most people want- shower gift off the registry, cash at the wedding!) and we spend $250....I can...

    Please share your best tips on teaching a teen to drive!

    In a previous life I was a driving school instructor- both classroom and behind the wheel- 12 long years!! The best advice is to have your child drive all of the time- seriously all the time! You need to let them drive at night, in snow, rain wind etc because at some point it will be dark...

    Peanut and Tree nut allergy at Food and Wine

    Does anyone have experience eating at the kiosks during the Food & Wine Expo with a peanut and tree nut allergy? My son is now old enough that he actually wants to try new foods- previous trips he was happy with snacks that we brought with us. Do they have the allergen menu's at the kiosks? I...
