    Calling all Disney Vets - Crowd Level Comparsion

    We are 9 year week after Christmas Veterans and if you LOVE crowds than don't miss this time of year. Don't get me wrong I love this time of year but it is walltowall, with occasional park closings. Sadly we are not going this year a victims of the economy.

    Room in the cabin for all the carryons now?

    We just flew peak period 12/24 LGA/MIA and 1/3 MCO/LGA on AA. Both planes were oversold and with every seat taken up there was room for all the carry ons and jackets. I was very surprised. Most airlines now board with a kind of hybrid system where some front and back rows all board at the...

    Jet Blue Flight Change?

    Every airline with the exception of SW charges to change /cancel flights. While we may not like it it is clearly stated in the fare rules. If you want a move flexible ticket you will need to spend more. No I do not like it, but I understand the rules.

    Measuring luggage- a question

    Unless you have a relly big overweight suitcase I doubt they will measure it. They do weigh a lot of bags, but I have never seen anyone have the bag measured. For carry on they do check size.

    Does anyone go Christmas and actually enjoy it?

    Just go back from our 9th Christmas week trip. It is packed ..no way around that. You need to start early to have any chance of doing some of the better rides. This trip was 12/30- 1/3 and everyday was busy. If you are looking for a leisurely park experience this is not the time of...

    Don't be worried about going over Christmas/NYE!!

    What did I forget - RE: Dec 31 - Jan 3

    While the 31st will be the worst , I do not think that it will get much better till Jan 4. Most if not all school are closed till 1/5 and there will be a slow exodus of people after the 1st. We have done Epcot 2 times on NYE and the only time we had an issue was grid lock at the bandstand near...

    Getting drunk at Epcot?

    We were at Epcot 2 years ago NYE and I was amazed how many young kids were pretty well drunk. I saw very little in the way of security and lots of drunks, needless to say I was not happy. The kids the 14 & 11 were a little put off by their actions. I remember being 21 , but did not expect to...

    How far in advance to reserve parking spot at the airport in a city?

    Really depends on the airport and time of year. I have had a reservation for Avistar at LGA for 4 months. LGA has no long term on site parking and by Thanksgiving all the off site lots will be booked. Better safe than sorry.

    I hope she is correct,the thought of paying cash is not something I am looking forward to. Airline tickets are all paid for so we are coming one way or another.

    United Did It Again!!

    If you were to stop flying every airline that changes and cancels fights you would be walking. This is the worst I have every seen. Buyer beware check your flight every few days.
