    Townhouse pool heat in Sept/early October?

    We rented in Windsor Hills in weeks bordering September and October 2012. While it was hot and very humid outside the pool temp was too cool to enjoy for very long without heat.

    Tell me why I should book a cabana??

    We had a cabana in September 2012. Please note DW and I disagree. While kinda nice I found the cabanas bad value. Unless $500 is pocket change to you, then I would think carefully. As for sharing a cabana these are small, we had seven for some of the time on our last trip and it felt...

    Castaway Cay in September?

    We sailed in the last week of September 2012. The water was warm and the weather was warm to hot and humid. We were mostly hot on that cruise, it was never cold outside.

    Limo to PC

    We have used transfers before with Sir Randolph, we were very happy; they worked around our 2 hour flight delay due to weather without any fuss or extra cost. This time they are charging $125 from Beach Club to port and $135 from port to Orlando Airport (MCO), for 5 people, tip included. Its...

    Cabana rental yes or no?

    We got a cabana on our 2012 dream cruise. While nice i think they are overrated, i was on the beach a lot and perhaps spent an hour in the cabana. I am going to use the $550 dollars on a private snorkeling trip in Mexico instead on my next fantasy cruise

    Best place to swim with dolphins?

    While I am really loved the Dolphin Swim, Discovery cove offers much more than the dolphin swim. Our epic Holiday in 2012 included universal Studios, all the disney parks and a disney cruise and I can easily rate discovery cove as the best of this trip. Free food, limited numbers and...

    Question about food on DCL

    Based on my last Dream cruise, I am once again travelling 16,000km (10,000 miles for another disney cruise). The food and service was one of the things that impressed us. Here is my opinion: Cruise counter service = average WDW counter service, but with a lot less waiting and drama...

    October Cruising Questions

    How do you delete a post, I had brain-fade my cruise was end of September, not October. It was mostly hot and humid so I can't image its being cold 4 weeks later.

    The non-Disney stuff: CA or FL?

    I am just back from Orlando, I must say Discovery Cove and the 2 Universal parks were a standout for me. I know I am going to get flamed for saying this on a Disney forum, but these three parks were better than any of the Disney parks at least for me and my family. Discovery cove is a very...

    Best mobile phone tactic

    If you are not going to use iphone features, then I would say get a cheap prepaid. Unlocking the phone and getting the SIM to work is going to be a lot of hassle. If you have a prepaid iphone or don't know how to connect your phone to itunes on a PC or MAC, then I would suggest it will be too...

    Please help me understand off site DRIVING.

    Last time we were at Disney World, we got a car despite staying onsite. It was a great choice allowing us to get to and from the parks and gave us a much better choice of dinning options. Driving in Orlando is a snap, in Australia we drive on the left, despite the challenge of being on other...

    4.5MPH ECVs -- Why?

    Firstly my son did not run off, he was holding my hand both times when he was hit by an ECV from behind. Children walk slow, too slow for some ECV operators, with their 9 kph machines that they use as battering rams. I am sorry that you were injured at the parks as well, but that does not...

    4.5MPH ECVs -- Why?

    Why can't people leave ECV's alone? I was not going to comment too much but my son got hurt twice by these things during our DL/WDW trip four years ago, I would hate to see an ECV going 9kph. Getting jostled by another human running through the crowd is not the same as having one of these...

    "Help the Yankee DISer" Part II-visit Australia/DL-the PTR(8/19 -TR Link Post#263!)

    Hi Pete, you seem to have done really well on the airfares, I don't have much to add, expect I was talking to my neighbour who works in the Weather bureau and he has some good news in relation to the weather in Eastern Australia, apparently the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) has finally dipped...

    Taking kids out of school

    I don't have a problem with taking kids out of school, I am doing it myself, but if your child is trying for a university place there, year 12 is not the time to do this. I can't imagine how stressful it will be if she is trying to get a uni place. If she if in Year 12 then she should be old...

    Romancing the Mouse

    I have booked them recently and they have usually replied to emails within 12 Hrs. Given the time-zone difference that's not too bad.

    April 2012 - Disneyland, NYC and more

    Nice Trip. I would love to hear about the Beacon and Candy Cane Hotels when you get back. It would also be good to see how you get on with a ten year old in NY and Vegas.

    Off-Site Hotel Distance Diagram?

    Oh and I assume you will have a car, if not then shuttle services or the lack there of will be more of a concern. If you don't have a car then you may want to think about staying on site.
