Thank you. Not sure we'll be back for a while. Will have to go to s shop tho. I really don't like to shop much on our trips, feel like I should do it here and not waste too much holiday time shopping.

I'm travelling with a 15 year old trip. She wants to bring her straightener, however I'm concerned about power issues. What is the best thing to do??? Thanks

I've considered shipping, but as they need to be close fitting it does help To try them on. We used thermals in New York and Orlando last trip. I packed all the cold weather gear last time then had to use them for the record January cold in Orlando. DH and I had merino wool but I found the...

i need five new sets of thermals. Any recommendations? Will probably only need them for a week given we are staying south for most of our trip. The kids don't fit into their old ones and they're poly propline (sp?). I've only been to Katmandu so far. They have two for $60 for the middle of road...

I've been looking at different offsite options for Bonnet creek in January. The highlight seems to be the pools, which may be too cold to use. Windsor Hills offers accommodation for $200 less for 7 nights. I know it is further away from the parks. Is Bonnet Creek worth the extra money in...

Oops, I didn't mean portofino I meant Royal pacific. Portofino is not as well located as hard rock or pacific. I've booked Royal Pacific club level. The space will be tight with the five of us, but we won't be in the room much.

We've used ours RAC (WA). Good discounts for Amtrak too. I also look at fat wallet for codes too. Every bit helps, especially with the exchange rate.

I think we'll just bite the bullet and have a really early morning and enjoy two days in San Antonio. so much to see and so little time. Thanks for the tip, we usually take Travacalm but it makes me so tired, I've popped it in my notes in my phone. Still tossing up which hotel between HRH...

The cruise will be interesting, especially given I tend to get queasy on boats, haha. We're considering dropping on night off San Antonio to ensure we get to the cruise on time, the four hour drive might mean we get to the boat exhausted from the trip. Now, I'm wondering if we should take a...

Updated itinerary: 9 December: Perth to Sydney - Staying at YHA on the rocks, cheapest accommodation we could get in Sydney for one night and great location. 10 December: Flight with VA to LAX then Delta to DFW - we've managed to secure bulkhead seats with should provide more comfort, I know...

Ok. Completely changed plans. We're now flying from NOLA to NYC on Christmas Eve! We decided Nashville etc might have been more interesting to us adults than the kids. So now we're driving from New York to Orlando. So need work out new route.

Hi all. I've finally made some bookings! After one night in Fort Worth. We drive to San Antonio for two nights. We will be taking a carnival cruise for 7 days from Galveston. Then flying to New Orleans for six nights including Christmas. Hiring a car from Boxing Day with intent to be in Orlando...

We purchased the Southern California city pass, which included universal. However, it now has Lego land in its place. We didn't use the Sandiego zoo portion, only SeaWorld.

On our last U.S. trip we did DL without much of a plan, however we did WDW with a complete plan including restaurant reservations and ride plans. We had four children aged 11, 11, 9 and 2. The best tip I can offer is use rider swap, the older kids got to ride twice, once with each parent...

Hi all. I need suggestions on where to spend the Christmas/ new year period. I want to avoid Orlando as I think it will be crazy busy. I also condidered New York, we enjoyed it so much last time, but the prices for hotels are ridiculous for this period even if we leave before the New Years rush...

I can't remember if there was a time frame, although the website is likely to have changed by now. I do remember it was hard to find cereal that want sugar loaded. We ended up eating a lot of the Kashi brand. The brad was too sweet for our tastes, hence why we ditched the packed lunch idea! The...

I signed up first to get a free delivery offer. Then used the hotel address. We were at the parks when our delivery came. All perishables items were packed in the fridge when we got to our room! I also always pack five plastic (not disposable) bowls, five spoons, a sharp knife, tea and some...

I agree with PiO. We travelled with 7, states at hojos ( two rooms). Although if you've got a child that needs to nap a suite would be perfect. A big saver for us was a grocery delivery from vons. We ordered cereals, yoghurt, fruit, milk, and snacks to take to the parks (raisins and granola...

We travelled with a toddler a number of years ago so what happened I our case mightn't be relevant so perhaps call the airline. We did take an umbrella stroller (not a cheap one) it was taken from us at the gate and returned before immigration at lax. However my youngest insisted on pulling her...

I've been wondering the same thing. We haven't done universal Orlando yet only wdw. However, when we did DL and universal after we couldn't help comparing and were disappointed. Although, we are definitely staying onsite for universal so we can get early entry. Considering one of the other three...
