There are four of us. Two adults and two children. From what I can see, a taxi is competitive.

Thank you, that is very helpful. The shuttle route sounds like the way to go. What are your thoughts regarding shared versus private for a shuttle? The price difference is not that huge for a family of four - only about 13 euro. Also, any idea on how a private shuttle compares with a taxi...

We are arriving at CDG with two kids and bags. Our gate is in Terminal 3. We land at about noon. At Disneyland, we are staying at the Hotel Cheyenne. I was going to take the train, but now I am not so sure. Our package does not include Express Luggage Service. At 16 pounds per adult as...

I am looking for enough points for an Animal Kingdom svannah view studio for January 15-22. Thanks!

Hmm... maybe points aren't that bad after all.

We would need somewhere between 85 and 105 DVC points. At the going rate, that's WAY more expensive than staying off-site with one or two nights on-site.

Wow. Thanks for some great advice. One clarification. When I said two desserts, I meant one for each adult. We always share just one dessert, rather than ordering our own. For dining, we do one sit down meal per day. Some of the meals will be at more expensive places, which is why the...

Permit an age old debate. We are struggling with where we should stay during our upcoming trip in January. We have always stayed off-site. I've run the numbers, and staying at a value resort winds up being no more expensive, if not a slightly cheaper. This assumes that we would use the...

It also takes time for the payment to clear. They may be waiting for this to happen.

The problem this year is that Thanksgiving is late. We like to travel on Saturday and be in the parks by Sunday. That makes the week after Thanksgiving a no-go for us. (Sunday will be too crowded.)

So let me get this straight. You are jealous of other people who get to cheat on their taxes, even though reporting 8% is lower than what you actually make? Where am I supposed to have sympathy here?

How is the indoor pool?

We have always loved to go to Disney World in January. However, we haven't done so in a couple of years. What do people think about the crowds in January now? It seems that between the marathon and MLK weekend, January is much more crowded than it used to be. Can you still avoid the...

The logic that a waiter will give great service if tipped well escapes me. At Disney, we tip at the end of the meal, and don't know the waiter. A standard tip in the USA is 15% Many people tip between 15% and 20%. I usually tip about 18%, but that includes the tax, so it's closer to 20% of...

Let's be honest. It's more fun to share the experiences with someone you are compatible with and who shares your excitement. But for many people that's not an option. Why stay home? I say go and have a good time! The one thing I absolutely refuse to do is being part of a large group. I...

We've been there around that time. Not the absolute lightest crowds of the year, but it shouldn't be too bad at all.

Boma is an excellent choice. Plan on spending some extra time at the resort to look at the animals.

We're trying to do a few more table-service meals for our next trip. We almost always do them at lunch. Can anyone tell me what the cheapest places to get table-service lunches are at each park? For the MK, we think that Tony's Town Square is probably the best bet. We used to think that...

We have a Rainforest Cafe near my in-laws and we go once or twice a year. Last year we went to the one in AK. The problem is that we didn't feel like we were anywhere special since - and even felt like we were at home. If you've got the $25 certificate, go for it. If not, there are...

Just be sure to pay close attention to the taxes and fees if you use Skyauction. Most timeshare weeks run about $300 for taxes and fees. BTW... I am a government employee and I had no idea about GETO. Thanks!
