    The Official October 2012 Car Rental Thread

    As mentioned before, my family and I are flying into TPA rather than MCO, saving us $100/per person from Atlantic City, NJ. I have gotten a new rate of $221/week for a full size by using an off site rental car location for Dollar Rent a Car. I hope to be able to get a minivan for a similar...

    ***October 2012 Thread*** MNSSHP + Food & Wine - Does It Get Any Better?

    Staying off site from oct 14-20! Planning on attending MNSSHP on 10/18....but read an article that is is wise to wait to purchase tickets until you see the long range weather forcast. I am guessing this wouldn't work for dates closer to Halloween but it makes sense as I wouldn't want to attend...

    MMSSHP Oct 2012

    Quick question about costumes.... Being from NJ, it is often pretty cold on Halloween, so costumes usually require many layers.

    Fastpass Enforcement coming?

    I see both sides to the argument..but one thing bothers me. Who says it's your "right" to ride all attractions regardless of dinner reservations, or other plans? If you can't make the new fp time alloted...then you don't ride. What about the people who can't ride at all because all of the...
