    Are AAA discount percentages published anywhere anymore?

    I was in my local AAA office recently and picked up the AAA Walt Disney World brochure. It has the AAA percentages off for rooms listed by resort and season. For value resorts, you just need to know you are staying value as the percentage off is listed as 10% for the entire year. For...

    Doing Disney with Stage 4 Cancer

    Thought I would share. I had my PET/CT scan earlier this week and have heard back from my doctor. Everything looks stable for now! So, I will continue with my current treatments for now. I will probably have one more scan, possibly two, before my vacation this summer...I get scans every 3-4...

    Doing Disney with Stage 4 Cancer

    Penny, glad to hear that the nausea and pain are subsiding and that you have such thoughtful friends. Sometimes it seems that the treatment for cancer has worse side effects than the cancer itself. PatsMom, yes it is possible to live with stage IV for years (I was diagnosed over 4 years...

    Doing Disney with Stage 4 Cancer

    Hi! I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer (stage IV) in Sept. 2008. This was 5 years after I was diagnosed with my primary breast cancer. I went to WDW in 2009 before I started chemo (was on Femara then Faslodex before chemo) which was pretty much like any other trips I had taken. I...

    When I click for details, it doesn't provide any details for me either, just the page to enter a code. However, before I click for the details, the box announcing the promotion says it starts December 1st.

    Coke Reward Codes

    Just tried to use the code ending in 98 this morning and got a message that the promotion is over and the code is no longer active. Definitely happy with all the extra points that I did get while it lasted. :) Thanks to the people who posted these codes!

    Invoice E-mail for Room-Only Reservation?

    I recently made a room only reservation. I only received a confirmation email. In the email, there is a link that I can click on to see the details of the reservation, including the total cost and the amount I have paid.

    Auto Train Coach Seats - Upper or Lower Level?

    We have taken the Autotrain 3 times. First time we had upper level coach seats and the next two times we had lower level coach seats. I prefer the lower level because it seems more quiet and private. I think there are only 12 seats on the lower level in each car. People can't walk from car...

    specifics on autotrain

    I don't know if there is a limit on the size of bags, but we have ridden coach on the auto train several times and we take full size pillows and blankets in those extra large ziploc bags and never had a problem. I didn't see any towels, but I wasn't really looking for them either. I don't...

    recharging disability scooters

    I have rented a scooter that had batteries that could be charged off the scooter before, but the batteries are heavy and you really need some sort of cart to take just the batteries back to your room. Driving the scooter to your room is probably the easier option.

    Any Sales on the Auto Train?

    I have taken the auto train a few times. In 2007, the summer promotion was kids ride free, but the past couple of years it has been kids ride for $19 each way. I believe the promotions are normally announced in April. I have typically booked earlier than that and then when the promotion did...

    Talk to me about touring after chemotherapy and touring with ECVs

    My blood counts don't drop quite as low with the chemo that I am on now, so my risk of infection isn't as high. I just try to frequently wash hands and sometimes use the hand sanitizer stuff. Right now, I just try to avoid people I know are sick, but that really isn't always possible on...

    Talk to me about touring after chemotherapy and touring with ECVs

    I also have cancer and went to Disney last summer in the midst of chemo. The fatigue was the biggest thing for me to deal with but the ECV helped me keep up with my 2 teenagers. I did not have a GAC, and I did get fastpasses where available. I am able to walk and stand for shorter distances...

    Scooter?

    I have cancer and receive chemo every other week. A side effect of the chemo is fatigue and peripheral neuropathy in my feet. I am only 47 years old and get around fine for my day-to-day activities. I certainly don't feel disabled. But, I knew when my daughters and I went to Disney last...
