We've stayed at the Country Inn in Crestview a couple of times and love it. Really, it comes down to the time of day you're leaving Houston. We try to leave at 5 a.m. and on our upcoming trip have booked the Country Inn in East Tallahassee. Both locations are under $100 w/AAA. Crestview was...

I create a custom plan using my knowledge and just don't optimize it. That's always an option... You can always save without optimizing in TP.

I ordered a cake for DH's 40th birthday while we were at WDW in December. The cake was to be delivered to our dinner at 'Ohana on his birthday, so everything was done through the GF bakery and Pat. I didn't have any issues with the process at all. Pat was a bit slow to return my initial...

We just celebrated DH's 40th birthday at WDW in December. Make sure he gets and wears a birthday button. He will get lots of attention from the CM's. I ordered a custom cake to be delivered to our 'Ohana dinner as a surprise. He was really blown away by this. It was really hard to keep...

When we were at WDW for Christmas, DH and I both noticed an increase in the number of seagulls at the parks. He even joked that they must be importing them for the Little Mermaid ride... :rotfl2: While we didn't have any food stolen from us, my son received a special "gift" from one while in...

Unfortunately, you can't pick up Cafe Du Monde beignets for breakfast when staying at WDW. Comparing the 2 doesn't make much sense.

I booked our June trip at POR last night with my 25% off and my weekends came up as rack rate. We are staying June 4-16. Discounts all nights except June 8, 9, 15 (15th was expected as discount ends 6/14). After everything, I saved an entire $4. The only plus was adding the dining plan...

On my trip last month, I had the unfortunate experience of visiting Theme Park Lost & Found next to the TTC several times. There is a shuttle from there over to the track. I'm assuming they'll have you ride over to the TTC and then walk over to the Lost & Found parking lot to ride the shuttle...

The One More Disney Day website has a countdown ticker that makes it appear that the announcement will be at 11:00 Eastern/10:00 Central.

DD and I often had to wait in line for a bathroom the week BEFORE Christmas, so I can only imagine the horror of this week! I was telling DH about today's crowds and we agreed. A nice day at AK away from the crazies and then if absolutely necessary, fireworks from one of the beaches! When...

When we were at WDW the week before Christmas, we had friends there as well. I would let DD (17) go off with our friends' son (also 17 and her ex boyfriend) to the EMH parks while DH and I went back to the hotel for some sleep. We were all staying at the same resort, so I knew he would get her...

I would suggest end of May if your kids will be getting out of school that early. We typically go the first week of June and the crowds aren't that bad. They really start to build beginning close to mid-June. Spring Break is a wild card depending on how the week you're off compares with the...

Well, it looks like we're now going back to Pop! We were originally booked at POFQ for our December trip. I had the week off from work last week and used the time to organize my photos. When I got to the pictures of Pop from our previous trips, I knew i wanted to go back again. Pop is...

Thanks for the response! I'll let them know when I arrive, but will be prepared to pay to park and then get the credit. Glad to know I'm not going to be out that money.

I'm going to be in Orlando on business in April and plan on visiting the parks each evening. We are going again in December, so I figure it's best for me to get an annual pass, especially when you figure in all my parking costs for 6 days of visits. I was planning on buying my ticket...

Interesting PTR so far. I can't wait to read the rest!

DH started the Nook craze in our house. I was originally interested in a Kindle until his dad bought him a Nook Color (he wanted an Android tablet and the Nook Color is Android based). Once he got his, I decided to go with a Nook for several reasons: 1. I don't need the extras that he has...

Ok, I'm hooked. I love your photos and am just getting started with my first DSLR and am also taking my first Christmas trip to WDW this year, so your trip report covers all aspects for me. Please, please, please tell me all about your various camera straps. I just noticed that they seem...

Last year I had the honor of buying my daughter one of the dresses that they sell outside of Kali thanks to a poor wardrobe choice on her part. Then it was a QUICK run to the bathrooms to change out of her soaking wet, totally see through clothes. :rolleyes:

We were planning to book POFQ from June 4-12 with the dining plan until today. Now we are booked June 2-12 with a savings of $800 and 2 extra days! I'll take it! :banana::woohoo::banana: Now I've got to fix the ticker!
