    Surprise expense woes

    If you have equity in the car you already own, consider selling it, combining the equity with the cash you have, and get two less expensive cars. If that does not clear all the money you need, perhaps it will give you enough so that you can take a budget trip.

    Cheating the system

    How do I verify that I am a DVC member who is pool hopping legally. In the past, I would show my DVC Member room key. If my magic band is scanned will it show that I am a DVC member staying on points? Will I need to get a room key in addition to my magic bands? Steve

    Two years ago, I was at Disney Quest, left to go to the car and then returned. The next day I noticed that I was missing one of my Disney Quest/Water Park admissions. I talked to Guest Relations and was told that there is no readmission to DQ and I had been charged twice for that one day...

    Is there an Disney package that does NOT include hotel?

    Krisko: You can keep your lodging, get brokered tickets and still eat on property, just not through the dining plan. You will pay out of pocket for meals.

    Car rental $125 one way drop charge !

    I book with National and often pick up our rental car at tpa and return to mco, without any drop charge. It was my understanding that this is not considered to be a one way rental which generates a drop charge.

    Need Advice - Best Days to Visit More Than WDW

    As you note Discovery Cover limits admission and it may be difficult to get a reservation. I would call Discovery Cove and see which dates are available, if any. I would then plan around that. Steve

    A couple of AutoTrain Questions

    It is a strip mall that has a pretty good sit down pizza type restaurant. There is also a McDonalds and (I think) a few other choices. The shopping center also has a dollar store where we let the kids pick out some snacks and distractions for the train trip. If you go to google maps and...

    A couple of AutoTrain Questions

    We arrive with our van at 12:30 or so and bypass the booth outside, parking in the temporary lot to the left and checking in inside. At check in we get our tickets and pick our meal time. We then drive away to get lunch, usually at a shopping center a mile or two to the left as you exit. We...

    Can you monve the mattress?

    Sometimes armchairs/ottomans can be combined to form a "bed" for a child. Another option is for the bed's comforter to be folded over many times to provide cushioning on the floor. Hope this helps. Steve
