I am sure we can survive the heat. We lived through Florida & 35 degree days with 100% humidity (unlike our nice Canadian summers! (; ) Really looking forward to seeing another form of Disney!!
Looks like our family will be in Paris around Aug 4 &5th. Is the summer as busy as I think it will be? I realized it is summer holidays at that time but can't resist the urge for a Disney fix! We have been to WDW around Easter and in early August before and have some experience with crowds &...
We are hoping to check it out as well this summer. We are flying to Dusseldorf, staying for a few days and then taking the train to Paris where will meet friends from England and spend a couple of days. Then we are off to London by train for a couple of days and then to our friends place for a...
Was in Orlando last week for a convention and was able make it to Epcot for 1/2 day! When I went to the Disney gift shop in the hotel to purchase a 1 day ticket for $84 I was told I could purchase an after 2pm ticket for $61 or after 4pm for $48. I wasn't aware of this option and don't know if...
I liked it, alot like Westjet. We didn't have the nicest checkin agent in Portland, but all the crew on the planes were very nice. The plane was clean and everything was on time. They have the inflight entertainment as well which is nice.
We stayed there last August and had no problems. It was clean and only about a 5min shuttle ride to the airport. We flew Jetblue as well and thought is was great. Much cheaper than Halifax, we saved almost $2000 on our flights. Now my daughter and wife spent it in Portland & Bangor on the way...
I would actually like to do the drive some time. But not until I have a month or so so I can take my time. The farthest we have gone is Maryland.
Are you renting a car when you get there? If so make sure you sign up for National and there Emerald Aisle service, it is the way to go!

I pulled my hair out last August and researched the flights to death. It was $2400 from Halifax for the 3 of us. We ended up flying JetBlue from Portland for $690US. It cost us about $600 for 2 nights in the Holiday Inn Express in Portland and gas. the flight was direct and the service was very...
We just spend last wekend at the Courtyard by Marriott in Bangor. I would definately reccomend it. Very clean & friendly staff. We did not do the park 'n fly buts lots of people were. We paid $119.00 per night for our stay.You can print your boarding passes at the hotel.
We rented from Florida Pool Homes last August and everything was as promised. www.floridapoolhomes4u.com. I liked dealing with a company, we were able to pay our deposit and balance witha credit card.
We went to DC last August and absolutely LOVED it. There was 3 in our family & 5 in our friends. It is very expensive and worth every cent! I would not return to Orlando withjout going....period! We found it good value when you look at what is included:
Parking
Admission to Seaworld
Dolphin...
Leaving your winter tires on for a week or two will not hurt them enough to warrant the cost of changing them now & when you get back. Also I would not take the chance, and that you will very likely need them somewhere on the drive down. Definately have the air pressure adjusted when you arrive...
We received one a couple of weeks ago, good for a variety of dates through 2009. Funny though... came to my mothers address, that I haven't used since our first trip 12 years ago. Been back 4 times since!
Bought a Wii & Wii fit this summer in Bangor. Won a contest at work this week and won......you guessed it....another Wii! Go figure...to bad they weren't giving away Disney passes!!:yay:
"Down the road another 2.5 hours, Portland is still a small and manageable airport that besides the traditional, also has Jet Blue and Air Tran. All those flights go through NY/NJ. Typically, the can run $200-$275 return in the off season. They charge for extra luggage (more than 1 per...
