    tracfone confusion & Q?

    Thanks tmli for your quick response. That's how I had initially understood it -- free l/d throughout USA so it wouldn't matter. I guess it would matter if I have an Orlando # and am visiting Chicago & someone from Chicago wanted to phone me. Just trying to get my head around the advantages &...

    tracfone confusion & Q?

    We are considering getting 2 prepaid US phones for our use when in the USA. Our first use would be at Disney World. So we would ship to Resort & activate & set-up local Cdn phone # for people back home. But we also travel elsewhere in the USA at times. I understand we would not be charged...

    Westjet YYZ-MCO $19 each way for January travel

    This is a great deal. I just came here (after redflags) to see if it had been posted. Fantastic. Finally some really good deals without flying to Buffalo -- sadly, my schedule & post-Christmas budget don't allow me to go.

    Great Wolf Lodge Reviews Please -- UPDATE

    There is a pizzeria very close by (a couple minutes drive) that has delicious pizza & is reasonably priced. It doesn't look promising from the outside, but it is yummy -- Frank's Pizzeria 4854 Bridge St. I am in no way related to the business. We found out about it from other's who found out...

    Split-Stay pro's I have questions!

    We've done split-stay a few times. Only way we can try all those great Resorts. I agree with Poster who said $10 on a cab for transporting luggage is WELL-spent. We had an awful move from Polynesian (left about 10am) to PopCentury. Our luggage (after some phone calls) arrived after Midnight...

    airmiles?

    How I figure out the best deal now is I know I can get $20 Gift Certificate for groceries (something we all need always) at A&P with 140 Air Miles. Therefore each of my Points is worth 0.1428 or ~14cents ($20/140) I get the same value with a $25 GC for PharmaPlus. I get a bit better value with...

    OT: School project on famous Canadians and DD is doing...

    Wow northstar, that would throw me for a loop temporarily too. So many great Canadians to choose from and... well your DD now has the chance to really turn lemons into lemonade. What are we digesting here? Does money & fame bring happiness. Looks like not here. Do breast enlargements & the dumb...

    40% off!!!

    Lucky duck! hmmm... just off the top of my head $2 more (not sure if that's your Total or per Day price difference, therefore $20, but same conclusion) for 10 days of loving family togetherness with a larger room, fridge in our room, slide at the Pool, a great new place to try...yup I'd pick...

    Ot: What the heck?

    Guess I'll start looking the Clearance Racks at LaSenza Girl for some very inexpensive jeans, Ts now. Hopefully that Zoey101 logo will be small or easily covered. ;) Explanation for my kids? Just another example of money doesn't buy happiness. Well, poorly managed money, even if there's lots...

    OT - Kids RESP's???

    Another nice thing about having your RESPs set up as a Family Plan if you have more than 1 child is that you can dole out the $$ as you, the parent chooses when the time comes to fund the education. So even if all your kids go to Post-Secondary (& many trade schools qualify too) some may need...

    Canadian Budget Board

    frugalshopper.ca has very helpful Forums. Another very helpful quick-moving board is redflagdeals.ca. Anything to do with electronics & computers is on there & sells out quickly too because of it! But there's also other info. People aren't as initially friendly as on this board, but you can...

    OT - How to close a home mortgage for less then $250?

    I haven't been on the boards for awhile, but that was cheery news from all of you to hear on return. Also a pleasant reminder to keep doing the right thing & put off on another Disney fix for awhile. We're still plugging away at our mortgage. Thanks for the helpful info on this thread &...

    Heys Disney Luggage Zellers

    Sorry, if this is a repost -- I haven't been on here in ages -- can't go again for awhile so why torture myself!? I thought some may want to know that the Heys Disney Luggage is on sale at Zellers right now just under $30, in-store also...

    Mosquitoes at Ft. Wilderness?

    Love that post RustyScrapper :lmao: We were at Ft Wilderness for the campfire & movie about a week ago while staying at Coronado Springs for the week. I was thinking hey, this is pretty good, it's so true about Disney & their special mosquito spraying that keeps WDW mosquito-free while the...

    Anyone just spend a day at your resort?

    The trips where we have included a Resort Day have been the best. We've enjoyed the whole vacation that much more. We actually just had the opposite prob. I could barely get my kids up & out of the rooms to go to Magic Kingdom for our 1 day in the Parks this July trip. Can you imagine!? Yacht...

    Anyone Have photo of CSR Cups?

    Our first night was at Port Orleans Riverside so I bought 1 Year of a Million Dreams refillable mug at ~7pm. Moved to Coronado Springs and the same old mugs as Buzz's photo here shows were all that was there. And we were told that we could not use the YOMD mug that I bought 14 hours earlier at...

    Just Back From Darien Lake!!!!

    We went this June (still early season rates) & found it to be the same as previous annual stays (2 others in our camper, & before that 2 stays in their RVs). Yeah, it's no Walt Disney World, that's for sure. If we hadn't gone to WDW a week ago I'd head back to Darien this Fall when rates are low...

    *How many forum posters does it take to change a light bulb?*

    Thanks, that was a great laugh that I needed & SO TRUE!:lmao: Viewing this thread was my first foray back on the DisBoards since returning July 17 from The Place Where Magic Lives -- yeah, yeah, that should be my own house, where all light bulbs are working, but boo hoo it's actually many...

    Food, crossing border, flying?

    Thanks for the replies. You think you know it all, but then when it gets right down to packing the actual items for the 4 hour drive, crossing border, hanging at airport, then the flight & any possible delays for the 5 of us (including Diabetic DD who needs her sugars) -- well, gotta double...

    OT-Anyone been to Darien Lake this year?

    We were there last month. It's just the same. Same Rides, games, cheesy shows, great WaterParks, same plentiful security on patrol, Laserblast seemed a little shorter. They've removed all Loony Toon Characters & there's no Batman show now. Still a lot of Loony Toon & Batman character merchandise...
