    Closest gas station to Disney care center?

    When I returned my car to the CCC a few weeks ago, the price of gas was pretty decent. Of course we had the car for just one night. The thing that amazed me was that we were immediately directed to a parking spot, as soon as we drove in. As soon as we got out of the car, the attendant asked...

    Hey Mods... sticky change

    Hi Dan!! Many changes in life, having to adjust. But things are ok now.

    Hey Mods... sticky change

    I’m around, just not as vocal.

    Hey Mods... sticky change

    Nah, just didn’t think of it. If we ever get DME/RAC back, there will be a new thread.

    Hey Mods... sticky change

    I’ve deleted the DME/RAC thread. As far as the SW thread, it can stay. There are always posters looking for SW specific info.

    Parking question

    That's inaccurate. Resort guests have never paid to park at a park....at least not in my memory. So, you pay to park at your resort, when staying at that resort. Has nothing to do with theme park parking. In any case....to the OP, just park at the TTC, then take the monorail to the resort you...

    Ouch. Airfare from PVD to MCO

    I'm flying out of PVD Aug 31, on SW, home on the 5th on JB. I booked a long time ago, when the flights were still reasonable. But...my flights in early Dec??? Flight home was downright cancelled, flight down was moved from the morning to late afternoon!!! Ah, no. In Dec, JB has one flight out of...

    Magical Express no longer handles luggage

    If BAGS, the company that handled RAC, offers Disney a good deal and a contract, then it will return. BAGS works for many other hotels/resorts. It's never been part of DME, even though Disney tied it all into one package. It sure would be nice if it returned....it was so nice to just go to...

    Magical express 2 days after leaving Pop?

    I'm not at all sure how that happened. In order to board the DME bus, you must have paperwork in hand that shows you are entitled to ride that day. You would get paperwork showing your checkout date....if you move to another resort for two days, your paperwork will no longer be valid. You are...

    WDW APs - To Renew Or Not To Renew? For seniors that may not go in 2021...

    I'm 71, close to 72, so a senior, although I hate the term. I was in WDW in early Jan. Heading back in late August, early Dec, and late Jan. Obviously, I have no issues going to WDW!! I had an AP every year from 2001. I had a trip in early Dec 2019, then no trip planned for another 4 months. I...

    Town Car Service or the Like?

    I wonder if it was Quicksilver.....they were banned, may still be. They had some pretty shady business practices. I'm using FL Tours in late August for my trip. I've used them before and they have always given me very good service. I've used Tony before too, and love him.

    Thoughts on if ME luggage transfers will return

    I would pay that going back to MCO!!! I hate having to check my bags at MCO, heading home. I don't much care about bags going to my resort. Yes, it was BAGS, they did not go out of business. This service was one of my favorite services in the past years at WDW. I would pay a per bag fee to be...

    Breaking News! Mears Connect. Formerly DME.

    I based my 'bottle of water' on the S/D plan....bottle of water and the newspaper. Oh boy. Other resorts say it covers parking, etc. There are many ways to justify charging a resort fee. Same with parking fees. I can understand places that charge a parking fee where it is congested and land is...

    What has been your most emotional house move?

    My most emotional move was almost exactly a year ago. After having my now ex secretly file for divorce, cheat for years (unbeknownst to me), along with many other purely evil things, the house had to be sold. This was the only house my then 26 y/o dd had known. We packed it up, put it on the...

    Breaking News! Mears Connect. Formerly DME.

    Here's the issue, as I see it. Yes, you can book a car service, but they are now more expensive than ever. Why? Because everything else is so high. Rent a car? I'm seeing almost double what I used to pay for the same time period, length of stay. Again, because they can get away with those...

    I didn't realize the luggage tags were gone

    It would seem that we are talking about different types of luggage tags. You got the yellow, sticky luggage tags, similar to what the airlines use, when you booked DME. This service is no longer an option. Then, there are luggage tags, that are reusable, that came when you booked a resort...

    Breaking News! Mears Connect. Formerly DME.

    I would love to have Mears offer a similar service to DME. They know how it works, they can make the transition quite easily. Will it have a cost? Sure. But, I doubt it will be more than $15 pp each way. Otherwise, families will use a car service or Uber/Lyft. It would also be terrific if BAGS...

    Is it me? Driving around Disney is confusing!

    I had an issue years ago trying to get from MK to MCO!!! I listened to my gps, found myself at the gates to Epcot. Now I realize what I did wrong, but then? So confused. Good thing I had an AP, so entered and just turned around and exited. The road I wanted ran parallel to the entrance to...

    Use the Speedway drop off point, it works well!

    There just aren't that many people walking over there to buy groceries. Those of us that stay at BWV realize that there is no crosswalk where we cross (at the entrance to BW at the guard shack). We are careful when crossing and it can get dodgy when in the gas station lot since a lot of drivers...

    A Car Rental Apocalypse Is Coming: Here’s What You Need To Know

    While there are always exceptions, I've yet to see much difference in car rental rates now vs 5 years ago. A bit of an increase but certainly nothing huge. Everything has increased in price! I think this kind of 'reporting' is awful, it causes angst where there is none needed. For crying out...
