    DLP Newbie - lots of ???

    I know you're trying to help but this is a pretty broad statement that is completely untrue for certain dates. I'm considering a trip for late August with the extra two night promotion and I got the following quotes: US $1463 UK £1,124.00=$1,583.53 FR 2211,00 €=$2733.23 (2 nights free wasn't...

    I don't get Eurostar, enlighten me

    Let me preface this by saying I’m an American and in the US train travel isn’t that popular. I can’t figure out the target audience for a train that takes 3 hours (express) that costs $175 return vs a plane that takes closer to 1 hour for $102 return ($135 if you need to check a bag). I know...

    Transport from CDG til DLP?

    I hate public transportation period. I've driven from CDG and taken the TGV. I thought the driving was fine and I'd consider doing it again but I assume our next visit will be TGV. I timed it and it was 9 minutes from start to stop. I never even sat down, I just stood at the top of the...

    Planning a May 2017 trip - my head is swimming right now

    I'm an American who has been to DLP twice. The first time I booked a package (NB) on the US DLP site and paid through the nose but it was part of my honeymoon and I really didn't think that much about it. The second trip I compared the UK vs US sites and couldn't believe the price difference...

    Flying in to LAX that bad?

    Not trying to throw a wrench in the works but I booked Boston to San Diego non-stop on Alaska for $292. I can't remember the last time I flew to California for less than $300 but I would guess it was at least 15 years ago. It is a longer drive for sure but it can take the same amount of time...

    First visit in a year and a half (as my WDW AP expired)

    After visiting WDW multiple times a year for about 15 years (probably 40+ trips) with 10-12 sporadic DL trips peppered in I have come to a conclusion... if I lived closer to DL I would never, ever visit WDW again. I find DL superior in just about every conceivable way. The first and most...

    Anyone know when the new Courtyard Waterpark will start taking res?

    Anybody want to guess what the rates will be like? If they're supposed to be higher than the walking distance hotels and the Fairfield (Marriott) seems to be $179 for most dates I would have to estimate $225+. If so, I'll stick to the Desert Inn although it does look like it will be pretty cool.

    Characters in Flight Early bird

    Are they still doing the deal where it's only $10 before 10:30? Considering this for our Blizzard Beach day later this month.

    Consistently over-inflated car rental prices - MCO

    I find that about 3-4 weeks out is the best prices. I always make a reservation as soon as we have plans set but I've never once kept that initial reservation. The best rental car prices I've been finding lately have been through the AAA website for those of you who are members. Usually...

    Martin Luther King Week Crowds?

    I've never been at Christmas but MLK weekend 2015 was the busiest I've ever seen it and I can't imagine going that weekend again. Toy story was 200 minutes at one point. I was glad to have FP+ that weekend. I had been during MLK weekend several years ago and it wasn't that bad but this year...

    Borrowing/Waitlist question

    That's the tricky part, my UY is June and I've banked all of my remaining 2015 points while the stay I'm looking to book is next month. I'd be staying in a studio so the difference is only 12 points but I hate losing even 1 point.

    Borrowing/Waitlist question

    Here's the deal, I want to make a reservation at OKW that requires borrowing points. The problem is the only place that's available the whole time is SSR. If I book SSR and waitlist for OKW and the OKW waitlist comes through, will I lose the point difference because borrowing is a final...

    For those folks driving!

    I'm now considering leaving a bit earlier, maybe picking my son up from school (2:30ish)and getting right on the road. I would probably push the stopping point to closer to DC. Unless I hit NYC at a completely dead time I tend to opt for the Tappan Zee. I assume I'll be hitting Richmond at...

    For those folks driving!

    I posted this on another thread but thought I might get more action here: We are considering driving down from Stoughton MA (20 south of boston) and I'd like to leave at about 4pm on the Friday of our Spring Break (April 17) and drive until about 11pm-Midnight with no more than a:crazy2: fast...

    Driving from Providence, RI to WDW need good halfway point.

    Please forgive my piggybacking this thread but I have a similar question. We are considering driving down from Stoughton MA (about 30 miles north of Providence) but I'd like to leave at about 4pm on the Friday of our Spring Break (April 17) and drive until about 11pm-Midnight with no more than...

    Massive Overhaul of I-4 Through Orlando Started

    So we're thinking of driving down next month during our school's spring break from MA (week of April 19th) and I'd really like to avoid this area. I went to a basketball game at Bethune-Cookman (Daytona Beach) last month on Presidents Day and from DTD it took 2:15 to go 75 miles without...

    Disneys Hollywood Studios about to change forever

    Wasn't Magic Kingdom a "clone" of Disneyland?

    JetBlue is open through April 30th

    No offense but it's only less expensive if you put no value on your time. Did the drive from MA once. That was enough.

    Glow with the show...

    I personally think it's a money-grab and I found them very distracting at World of Color (which I think sucks anyway so maybe I'm not the best person to ask).
