Volunteer some time on that day that you're thinking about spending $200 on, and then leave them a nice check before you leave. Then treat yourself to a spa trip when you get there. Erases the guilt and does good for the world... can't go wrong with that.

From a purely pragmatic standpoint, I would take all that extra money you're spending on a dining plan you won't use and a room you'll barely use and check into something nice by the airport. Rent a car for the day, and drive into Disney once you're well rested. Maybe put some of that...

http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=RV+washers+in+Orlando%2C+FL You're welcome. :teacher:

Well.. except for those pesky billing cycle changes. (Seriously, watch out for those. You should still always check every credit card balance every month and pay those manually. The terms and conditions are weasel-ly.) Friendly advice from someone who has heard too many horror stories.

One of the things that people who do these "throwaway reservations" fail to realize is that any campground is a group of individuals bound together by a common love of sleeping out under the stars. Tent campers (especially those who like their morning cup of coffee with their cigarette without...

It depends greatly on how you do Disney. If you prefer to have the whole vacation paid for and budgeted from savings, and you're not planning on doing the dining plan (you don't always save money with this, and it dramatically changes the flavor of your vacation in terms of freedom to choose...

And... as a final thought, I agree with the above posters about not going into any more discussions about the details of the divorce in any kind of online situation. It sucks, but it's reality. Much luck to you, and enjoy your vacation for the sweet new start on life that it is. Years from...

You have all of my sympathy in this extremely difficult time. I think the advice about offering to take one of your son's close friends with is excellent. Sharing something like that is awesome, he'll remember it and thank you for it for the rest of his life. I can understand wanting to save...

Thanks for the warm welcome! I really appreciate the wealth of knowledge here. I'm only doing Disney once with my daughter in order to meet savings goals (well, maybe when she graduates high school... camping in a tent instead of a cabin, and she gets to help me with the costs as life lesson...

I didn't realize that was an option... walking to the Contemporary after the parks close and just hanging out in the lobby with a drink while the crowds thin down does sound like a *much* better option. I bet I could find out when the last monorail stops through, and we could just grab that one...

The problem with the ferry is it involves being on a boat AND being in an enclosed space with a crowd. BFF (Boyfriend For Forever) drowned in the Navy while simultaneously sustaining a skull crushing injury, and 10 years later is still unable to take a shower without blinding panic attacks...

Yeah, I was thinking of that. MK kind of makes me nervous... it sticks a barrier of public transportation (the boat launch is just completely out of the question for bf) between us and the car... and if I remember right, there's a ride over water from the TTC to the MK via monorail to boot? We...

I confess... I've spent the last 4 hours reading through threads here. I may have an addiction. The drive is going to be roughly 18 hours with stops to eat from the cooler. We're leaving central Illinois Friday night around 8:00 pm, and planning to be checked in by 5:00 pm Saturday night...

I just did a spiral ham last week, and found myself struggling to figure out what to do with about a cup of cubed leftover ham (feeding 3 people who like to eat a lot). Start some water boiling and put in 9 lasagna noodles. Set them off to the side when they're ready to go so they have time...

Not sure if you're planning on using the transportation system or renting a car... either way, though, I think I would move to the on-site property for a 5-year-old. Some things to consider in cost: if you're not renting a car, than the cost of getting to the off-site property to your hotel...

I was reading about them in the Unofficial guide, and it mentioned the PIN discounts that occasionally get sent via email or snail mail. There's some serious marketing wizzardry behind them, but I have to think they're linked to previous number of visits/number of times deluxe resorts have been...

So, now that I've finally accomplished the major life goal of digging my way out of debt and finishing my Associates degree (at the tender age of 32), I've decided it's time to splurge. I'm going to Disney World!!! I'll have my 9-year-old daughter and my boyfriend of several years with me...

Okay... So I did the math, and I crunched and I crunched, and I took the plunge today. My goal was to get my daughter to Disney before she turned 10, and this is the last year for it. I just booked 8 nights on the promo rates-- vacation time is scheduled, and we are driving all night to get...

There are different ways to tether, but the bottom line is that it's against the terms and conditions of service to tether without the appropriate plan. The difference between doing it with a cell phone and doing it with an air card is that the tethering plan can be added two days before...

Two comments: First, I'm going to be renting for my first time this summer, either via an off-site timeshare property or through the DVC. Second, I just finished a statistics 101 midterm tonight that I'm fairly sure I aced. If there have been thousands of successful transactions and only 10...
