    Walk behind string trimmer mower vs push mower

    We got a string mower from amazon, black and decker model. We don't have a large property and not much to mow. The trimmer is great for the hard to reach places, and the mower works great for the larger pieces. It works well for us. We went cordless because of the batteries, and I didn't want...

    Caribe Royal Suites

    We stayed there for 10 days! We got the Hotwire rate of$80, also. It was a wonderful stay in the one bedroom. I liked the fact there was a microwave and a refrigerator. We did not use the shuttle because we have annual passes. I loved not having to pay a resort fee or a parking fee. Hate those...

    A theory for AP holders to take advantage of Free dining

    We have been taking our tickets with the free dining package and upgrading to seasonal passes and annual passes for years! We usually get the theme park tickets separated from our kttw, because our annual/seasonal passes expired months after our visit. We usually go off season and buy one annual...

    Opinions on Bonnet Creek please

    The secret is out, so I will add my 2 cents. We love bonnet creek. More space, laundry in room, hot tub, refrigerator, microwave, space, lazy river! Anything that needed to be taken care of was fixed immediately. (We got a room that had just been painted and upgraded. Paint fumes were...

    Anyone else get sick this week at disney?

    I am not surprised more people aren't ill. We ate at Trails end one evening and wondered where the manager was. Hot food cold, cold food like shrimp warm. Golden Corral at least had somebody taking temperatures. Things that might help; ask for no ice in your drinks. Our family has gotten ill...

    Buying Florida Property?

    That is where we live, paradise. We are surrounded by multimillion dollar neighborhoods, close to everything, malls, stores, the beach is 5 minutes away. It is a secret neighborhood that is very affordable. It is in palm beach county. We are 2 hours from Disney. But all the pluses of living in...

    Windsor Hills- Has anyone rented from Vacation Central Florida/Dave Robison?

    We had a wonderful experience with Dave and would certainly use his services again. For the price of Disney resorts, I feel we don't get a good value for the money. That may change in the future, but not for now.

    Power outage at Animal kingdom lodge

    Sorry everybody had such a hard time. I have voted with my wallet. We no longer stay at any Disney resort when there are so many other wonderful places to spend our money. This episode reinforces that we are doing the right thing for our family. Especially after reading how many hundreds of...

    A question about upgrading tickets!

    We have 2 2 day tickets from previous stays, never used for each member of our family. We usually use just one 2 day ticket per person to upgrade to annual passes. Can we use both of the 2day passes towards an annual pass? I looked at the sticky about the tickets upgrade, but I don't want to...

    HDDR and dining plan: when do they deduct credits?

    This is the second year we did HDDR on the dining plan. And it was the second year we had a problem. When I had my reservations this year, they charged my credit card, instead of taking it out of our credits. Thanks to some pixie dust and a helpful cm, it was fixed! But it is good to know...

    Has Les Chefs de France improved?

    We went this past Sunday. It was one of the worst meals I have ever had. The filet gristly, veggies way off, creme brulee missing something. And I love this restaurant. Last year was wonderful, as was 20 years ago. Teppan Edo was great. You might try that instead.

    Help! Struck by drunk driver, and insurance not helping, advice needed!

    Please hire an experienced attorney as soon as you can. In Florida, drunk driving means punitive damages as well if you go to trial. My dd and I were hit by a kid, insurance did NOTHING until we hired an attorney. It was like a magic door had open up. We got the medical treatment we needed...

    When is the right time to fill out the FAFSA?

    ASAP. One of my mentors said to do it the first day of January. Which means trying to figure out your tax return as possible. My mentor when her daughter was a senior, went into work where there was a computer at midnight just to jump on it. She filled out the forms as much as possible...

    College tuition bombshell & budget buster..need opinions

    The hardest thing for me when I was in the same situation is realizing that there are many choices out there for college. As a former professor, and high school teacher, I have some insider knowledge I'd like to share with op. There's something called CLEP, college level exemption program or...

    Never Land Club?

    My daughters have been going to Neverland club for over 27 years (my oldest is 30, youngest 9). And each one has loved it. I love it! The staff is wonderful. According to my youngest, it can be structured play or free play. There is dress up with pirates and princesses. There are toys...

    Doubletree at Universal entrance

    I think it has smoking rooms. We asked for non smoking, but you could still smell mold and smoke in the hallways. It was okay. The beds were nice. The room was bigger than an All Star room. The annoying part was the $ charge for parking. I protested it, and got it reduced a little bit, but...
