We budget for vacations, so whatever we need for a future vacation goes in that box prior to the trip. We were not always so responsible and racked up a decent debt on our honeymoon that we are still paying off, but we are three months from it being gone and I am excited how it will impact our...

Do not listen to the people who say to cancel. The flights alone would set you back at least $70pp to reschedule in the future, so you would be losing even more money by canceling. Sell whatever you can on craigslist to find the difference, take lots of snacks with you, or dip into savings...

Oh I'm not putting anyone down or making anyone feel bad. Hence why I said if DH and I can afford it, we absolutely will help our children with their education and beyond. I meant that a person shouldn't complain about being strapped for cash BECAUSE they are helping their children. It is...

Retirement? Yeah right. We are 29 and 32 we barely have anything leftover at the end of the month to go towards retirement and we haven't even had kids yet. I managed to start saving 3% of my income at work 2 years ago to get the 3% match, but I can't increase it until my income increases...

ABC Commissary at DHS We ate a quick lunch there on our first trip to Disney and I suffered through food poisoning for 24 hours after.

We did a rather cheap trip last year by taking the room discount and then paying OOP for all our meals. We even went to the extreme of looking at menus online to get an idea of how much we might spend at each park on food as well on the meals at restaurants that we had made reservations at...

My husband and I went last year for our anniversary and we love POFQ. It was small and romantic and we never had an issue finding a seat in the food court or a chair at the pool. From what I understand, POR is much larger...but you can use all the amenities at both resorts if you wish since...

We liked it, but thought it was a bit bland. I guess they do that to target a bigger crowd that may not eat Greek food on a regular basis. But DH and I agreed that we would go back.

Lets see if I can remember: This past September we did: Mexico: We tried the new tequila bar inside . . .EXCELLENT!! I had a really unique margarita and DH did the tequila flight. Norway: We skipped it and instead had a snack of school bread because we were starving and the tequila...

Disney has lost it's magic for us. The day (it appears to be today) a medicore buffet costs more than the best steak in Atlanta (we love flemings) then I'm done. That is a joke. And how can they raise a price 4.00 in one year?? It should be 50 cents to a $1 per year. The orginal poster is...

I completely agree with this. YOU helped charge up the cards, so YOU help pay them off. There are not great jobs out there, but there are still old-fashioned part time ones, some full-time waitressing or store jobs and I've even seen signs for jobs for the holidays. So people are hiring. Do...

try www.orientaltrading.com, they have tons of decor and crafts and goodie bag treats for SUPER CHEAP. I got all my wedding out of town gift bag supplies from here and paid about $30 for 12 bags worth of stuff.

I have stayed at Coronado and POFQ. While the Coronado is nice, it is HUGE and after walking in the parks all day you start to dislike the size and it having 4 bus stops. I guess the huge new advantage though is that the beds are Queen size. DH and I had to end up sleeping in separate beds at...

You could not have said it any better. It is sad to see what America is becoming....I posted something similar in another thread and was jumped all over by people that have real medical conditions where they can't walk for long periods of time. Of course, I understand this, but what about the...

I had the burger and my DH had the Rueben. They both came with fries. My burger was awesome. It was cooked to perfection and had carmelized onions, cooked mushrooms, cheese, lettuce and tomato on it. It was very flavorful and I really enjoyed it. DH said his Rueben was well made and...

I had been to Disney twice before, but both times I ate off-site, at DTD and did alot of counter service. Once I found this board, I discovered a whole new side of Disney I never knew about before. . . .Disney TS dining. I did tons of research and we decided against the dining plan because...

I couldn't justify it, especially in this economy that seems like it will never improve. How about doing a split stay though? Stay majority of the trip in a moderate and then spend 1-2 nights at GF at the end. If you REALLY love GF, then you can stay there next time and if you find out it...

I guess I just don't understand why you would want your kids to miss an entire week of school just to go on vacation when they have 3 MONTHS off during the summer. I understand that parents have different schedules, but my parents always found 1 week during the 3 months school was off to...

I agree. The only way waiting till you get to Disney will work is if you eat a decent meal at your airport at home right before you get on the plane. Otherwise you will be absolutely starving and cranky by the time you get to the hotel at 8 pm and what if there is a plane delay or you get...

Yet another reason I am so HAPPY we opted out of the dining plan and took the room discount. I really think Disney did the whole DDP thing wrong. They should have started out with a very limited dining plan and then started ADDING more things like extra snacks, appetizers and gratituty and...
