First time going to Universal. We are taking advantage of the 2+2 ticket promo. We are staying at Cabana bay so will get early access but no express passes. Would we be ok with the one day park passes instead of park to park given that we are spending 4 days at the park? Not sure if it's...

I'm trying to price out what it would be to rent a car for 6 (4 adults and 2 kids) people vs flying. We are heading to Port Carneval in May 2012. My parents and my car only seat 5 so we will need to rent a mini-van to drive down together. I'm wondering if its cheaper/easier to drive to...

Thanks for your replies. We are on the May 14th trip. I'm happy to hear that we will be experiencing all the same things on the Magic as the Dream cruise.

We are booked on the Disney Magic for the 4 night cruise to the Bahamas. I this is an unusal cruise as I don't think the Magic normally goes to the Bahamas. This is our first cruise so still trying to figure things out. Bear with me if I'm wrong. Can I expect to see the same shows and...

We took our kids (4 and 6) to Ottawa last year for Canada Day. We stayed at the Minto. We had a deluxe room with a full kitchen, washer and dryer and separate bedroom. We tried to go to Parliament Hill for Canada Day but the crowds were too great and we couldn't make it into the Hill...

and loved it. We went for a wedding in December and it was wonderful. We wished we had stayed longer but this was the first time we were travelling with our young kids so we were there for 4 days. Atlantis is beautiful and there are lots to see and do for all ages. The aquarium is...

We're thinking of leaving our car at the hotel and using a hotel shuttle instead of parking at Buffalo airport. How convenient are the hotel shuttles to get back to the hotel from the airport? Our flight arrives at 9pm and we're not sure how much of a wait it would be to get back to the hotel...

Just wondering if there is a difference in commuting time between these locations. We typically go home after lunch for naps/quiet time and then head to a resort or park for dinner. Is commuting from POP easier or faster than POR? We stayed at POR last year and loved it, but found it...

Sounds like we should stick to POR. Thanks! BTW I should have clarified in my original post that though we are only going to the parks for two days, we were going to do other things like Downtown Disney, mini-golf and the dining plan. We found that when we went the first time, our trip...

We have only been to Disney once and we stayed at POR. We really liked this resort and I think we may have had just as much fun at the resort swimming and playing as we did at the parks. We enjoyed the variety of activities that POR had from the pools to the bike rentals to the boat ride to...

We went to Disney for the first time the week before Thanksgiving. We had great time and part of it was due to the perfect weather. We would love to go again at this time period. Was the weather typical for this time of year (Nov 10-17) or was it unseasonably warm? The temp was in the high 70s.

We were given the option of leaving on an earlier flight that day. We declined this as they weren't direct flights. So we were able to leave a day early w/o any additional costs. I think it depends on seat availability.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions.. they were really helpful. Good thing we had an off day in our schedule so we can try and go to AK when it's dry. If it was just my husband and I the rain would not bother us too much. It's a different story when you have 2 little ones.

Should we avoid Animal Kingdom? Yes, I heard that Florida weather changes very quickly. But I am trying to work on a plan if it does rain. I'm packing another pair of shoes for the kids now in case they get soaked.

Just checked the forecast and it looks like it's raining for most of our trip next week (Monday to Friday). This is our first visit to Disney so can anyone tell me what park is the best to go to when it rains. Which park should we avoid? Our kids are 3 and 5 so we are doing more rides suited...

Does anyone know how busy the courses are for November? Is this considered their busy time? We will be there during the tournament in November so I think this means that the two courses will not be available for play. I'm trying to figure out how much time my husband will need to finish his...

Probably a silly question. But if you're on the dining plan, can you leave your tip with cash? I thought I read that the tips are billed on your card (or what ever it is that links to your room). Sorry it's my first visit and I'm not sure if I 'm using the right words.

We are on the dining plan. Does everyone need to order a meal for table service? That is, can our children (3 and 4) share part of my husband's and my meal or do they need to have their own order? I've look at some of the menus and there doesn't seem to be much variety for the kids. Also, my...

I am considering bringing a portable DVD player to this restaurant so that my kids have something to do so my husband and I can eat and enjoy our meal. My kids (3 & 5 years old)are usually done their meal before we even get a chance to start eating. Usually we would have books for them to...

We are staying offsite but will be going to some restaurants at the resorts. Do we have to pay for parking at these resorts if we have reservations for meals? If so, what is the rate? Also, if we're at the park and then leave for a nap and then return again in the evening, do we have to...
