Instead we deposit $26.50 a week and we will have $1378 at the end of the 52 weeks. We will top it up when we can but at a minimum we will...

    Cell phone use at WDW

    Hey @Salinger, not nosey. I did edit my post after I learned different yesterday. It was a mix of ignorance and old info found on the web that led me to belive we couldn't unlock.

    Magic Bands for Canadians

    I was able to customize our magic bands but there is a bit of a workaround. From the Disney site where you select to customize the bands you must enter your shipping address. When you enter your Canadian address you will get an error. I thought I was out of luck but after searching around I...

    Need experts, please!

    Yes I will when I get back. They were very pleasant on the phone. They basically have someone there to shuttle you based on the time you say you need to leave. The parking is $20 for our 9 day stay then the nightly rate will be $98 plus tx.

    Car Rental - MCO?

    Hi Camilo I found the thread and tried the code you posted for our dates with Enterprise. I got a rate of $157.32 US for an Intermediate. The rate with National is $159 CAD so still seems cheaper. Maybe you applied other codes? I am still on the hunt. I can always cancel for a better deal...

    Car Rental - MCO?

    So we reserved a midsize with National. The estimated cost is $159.77 for 8 days.

We will be happy either way but nice to...
