Hi all. This is a little bit off topic. I have been reading posts on this board for years, with the hope that one day we could do an ABD. However, our circumstances haven't allowed it, and given the choice to not travel for a few years to save to do ABD or go on a yearly trip, we have favored...

Vancouver is really easy to do on your own. I spent three nights there last summer. If anybody needs any tips, let me know.

It is really easy to get a cab at the airport in SJ.

As mentioned in a different thread I experienced this on Monday. I remember mentioning to my husband how dangerous it was to have that mob. It would have been real easy to tell people when they paid for parking, or took a scheduled bus from their hotels. At least that way most guests would...

Hi all, Like a previous poster, I experienced the change in policy this weekend. We went to Universal Studios on Sunday February 15 and Monday February 16. On the 15th was one of the Mardi Gras concerts, as Bare Naked Ladies was playing that night. We arrived at the bag check point at 10:00...

You do not need to worry about you not speaking English. English is an official language in Puerto Rico, and every child takes English lessons in school starting in kindergarden, up to two years in college. So most people you will encounter will understand English. San Juan is a beautiful...

Why not get the Disney Rewards Visa Premier. It has a 49.00 fee. 1% back on almost everything, 2% on groceries, gas, and Disney purchases (store, vacation, DCL). You can use the points towards the purchase of airline tickets. You purchase the tickets with the Visa card, and the.n request your...

In 2010, I had early dinner reservations for CRT at 4:00 pm on our first MK day. We had done BBB with my daughter and niece, and Pirates league with my son and three nephews. About 5 days earlier I had confirmed my reservation, we were on the DDP. When we got there, they could not find our...

I just posted this in another thread, but I think it belongs here! We just recently returned from a six night stay at WDW. We were there because our daughter had a gymnastics competition. We were going to buy the discounted hotel and tickets through Disney Sports, and then my travel agent...

Just to clarify, you do not need to pay for a 3 year old as an adult unless you choose to list that child as 10. For a three year old it is not worth it in my opinion. You do have to pay for a 2 year old that you list as 3 if you want to get the dining plan. People upgrade their children if...

I would add to this if you paid for the child prices on the DDP. We chose to upgrade our daughter to an adult because of the limited menu options. So she was under 10, but because we paid as if she was over 10, we could order for her whatever she wanted. In our case it was a special...

We just recently returned from a six night stay at WDW. We were there because our daughter had a gymnastics competition. We were going to buy the discounted hotel and tickets through Disney Sports, and then my travel agent advised me of the Stay Play and Dine offer. When I crunched the...

You should be able to find guanabana juice (or nectar) in the latin section of your local super markets in the states. Look for Jumex or Goya brands. We used to buy them both in Indiana and in Texas!

How old is your child? If you are staying on Stay Play and Dine offer, then the price for adult is the same as child, and you can upgrade his age to 10 to have more dining options. I just did this with my 7 year old daughter. Although she does not eat large quantities, she absolutely disliked...

Disney Movie Rewards is a reward system for purchasing Disney movies (DVDs or Blu Rays). Every movie comes with a code, which must enter into your account online. You can redeem your rewards for prizes. I didn't realize you could use them to pay tours. Apparently you can, but for this tour...

Do you know what the cost is for the QSDP? (as opposed to 17.16?). TIA

Hi Glassslipper, I just returned from Nice, so I feel qualified to help! You will probably be arriving at Villefranche, since I remember we were told the Nice port is not deep enough to handle the big ships. You can visit Villefranche, Eze, Nice or Monaco from this port. Of those, I...

Flagfred, If you are coming from the US, and you spend three nights, you will most likely spend three days as well, as most flights arrive early in the morning. We did not do any organized tours because there are so many things to do in Paris, that are easily done on your own. Had we done...

In Nice we went to a Segway tour, Marc Chagall Museum, Hop On Hop Off bus. The next day we went to Monaco via bus and came back by train. We saw the Exotic Garden, including a cave with +230 steps up and down, the Casino and the Royal Palace. The food: At Paris we ate mainly at Cafes and...

Hello everybody. This is NOT about an ABD, but I am posting because I think some of the information may be useful for people going on the ABDs to France, or adding pre or post trip days. This forum really helped us with our trip, our first time in Europe, for which I am really grateful...
