About 8 or 9 years ago, I bought from a company in NC, Alman’s and did it all by phone. I literally saved over $500 on a love seat, sofa, end table and coffee table. I would order again this way without hesitation. What you do is go to a local furniture store and find what you like. Jot down the...

Excellent resource for first-timers. Don’t try to read it cover to cover. Take time over several weeks and months to read the things that are specific for you and absorb the information. Touring plans? My experience was more to have a basic idea of what you want to do and understand the lay of...

IMO, nothing beats the Outer Banks, NC and specifically the northern beaches of Corolla and Duck. Beach chair, cooler and a book…and the sound of the ocean…ahh, I’m there right now, listening to the sea gulls as the ocean waves pound ashore. Ooops, I just woke up. Crap, back to work.

We use our Discover card for everything: groceries, fuel, clothing, dining, entertainment, gifts, medical, you name it (we’ve even used it at Wendy’s and at the bowling center when we took the kids out). The card I have is one of the “cashback” cards and I will get any where from .25% to 5%...

BE CAREFUL! I have to warn you…you’ll be so much closer to the Outer Banks and if you haven’t been before, you’ll fall in love with it and the next thing you know, you’re spending $$$ on a vacation rental.

I can't remember the cost, but my daughter bought a package of 4 bookmarks, each one was of each of the parks. I thought the price was reasonable and you get 4 souvenirs per package. Somewhat appropriate, too, as these are going to classmates.

My daughter is headed to WDW with her school class (how come I never had these kind of trips when I was a kid?). I was going to get her traveler’s checks and was curious about how she goes about cashing them (I’m assuming my bank will issue them to her). She will be 14 years old and will only...

We were at the world from 2/15 to 2/20, visiting the parks from Mon the 16th, President’s Day, through Thursday, 2/19. One thing I have learned about opinions on crowds is each person has a different perception. Crowded to one is not crowded to someone else. We felt the crowds were very...

Just wanted to chime in. Ate here last week and it certainly isn't a place we can give high marks. The service was fine but the food just okay (at best). And the price is way out of line for what you get. I had the lasagna and my wife gnocchis. Eldest had kid's spaghetti and meatballs (she was...

I guess beauty, or in this case crowds, is in the eye of the beholder. To my fellow Rochesterian, lisareniff. My two experiences with trips to WDW, one Thanksgiving week '98 and the other this past President's week, I would opt for Thanksgiving. Two reasons: 1) I think the weather is more...

Kallison, Good point...the photography magazine I read stated exactly what you mention. Apparently, it is your right to have a hand inspection if you so desire. You may even have to ask for the FAA rep on site (I think it's the FAA...it could be a differenct faction of government, I'm not...

We went last Wednesday and were in the front row of section 102. We loved the seats (not that there appears to be any bad seats). My kids, 13 and 10, loved being so close. My wife said it was great to be so close and being able to see the facial expressions of everyone on stage.

Chef Mickey's was good. We did the breakfast. The characters interact very well and a lot with everyone. In fact, Mickey took his break one table before getting to us. Sure enough, when he returned, he started off with us. It does get a tad noisy but that's to be expected. The servers in no way...

DisneyObsessed, We were there this past week and felt the crowds were very managable, particularly in the morning and early afternoon. We did stay away from whatever park had EMH. However, since you have been there so many times during February, you have a much better benchmark than us on...

Ate lunch at RC at AK this past Thursday. My girls (13 and 10) liked the food (pizza and chicken nuggets). My wife and I also were pleased (she got a wrap and I had a burger). Both good. I was pleasantly surprised when I ordered a Corona and I got a bomber (24 ounces). Thank you very much! Paul

I'm not sure what caused the film to be damaged but I can only suspect it was when our carry on was x-rayed. The only difference with this roll of film was it was in my wife's purse and not her carry-on piece where the other undeveloped film was...but I wouldn't think this would make a...

Just got back late yesterday from our trip (2/15 – 2/20). This was our 2nd trip, first was in 1998. We probably won’t be heading back for at least 5 more years (other vacation spots await us). We had a great time, though the weather wasn’t the best. Crowds were a non-factor, in our opinion. Let...

Can someone confirm that there is a Guest Relations at the International Gateway at Epcot? Also, and I hope this doesn’t sound stupid but, is it outside the Park (i.e. you don’t have to enter Epcot). I need to upgrade my daughters’ child passes from our last trip to adult passes (the girls will...

Is the card only available at the restaurants or can it be ordered over the phone?
