We have never been to Universal Studios and we went to Disney for the first time last November. I do not know anything about US except that people have said that it is not as big as Disney so you don't need as much time? Just wondering if this is something that can be done on a long weekend...

I can't remember the exact figures, but our family of four(2 A and 2 C)just went in Nov and we spent about $3K altogether: Plane tix, roundtrip: $470 6 nights at ASMovies: $86/night Rental car....was like $150 Food: we budgeted $100/day and prob spent close to that, but we really LIKE to...

Wow! You guys all have some interesting stories about AAA! We pay $125/yr. for DH and I and that is for AAA plus RV. We would never go without it. We have had it for so long now that if we cancelled, I'm sure that would be the day that one of our vehicles would break down! They say that you...

It seemed like the pools were open late, like 11 or something but I think the arcade closed at 10 as well as the store. I think the food court was open until 11 or 12, if I recall correctly. A quick phone call should answer these questions for sure. There is cable in the rooms; maybe they...

By going on the websites that have Disney info, many of them have advertisements/links that popup about deals at many hotels right near Disney and they are cheap, like $49 or $39 per night. Also try mousesavers.com for recent discounts.

My husband and I each had a backpack and since we have older children (12 and 10)we went on all the wet and wild rides. We never once worried about it. Even on the whitewater rafting ride, there was a central "bin" with a plastic cover that everyone put their stuff in. On the rollercoasters...

Shouldn't cost much for only 3 days. At the cost of gas here in NY and the time spent driving, I would look for a deal on a flight and also, if staying onsite isn't something they are worried about, they can stay offsite for next to nothing. Or go during value season and reserve...

I wouldn't give anyone extra money. If you have the cash and don't want to carry it, deposit it into your bank account and charge to your bank card or, what we did, was to get travelers cheques(no charge for them at AAA)and we brought a certain amount each day with us to the parks and locked...

We hit the winndixie when we got there and grabbed milk, juice, etc. and a styrofoam cooler. Plenty of ice available at All Stars. I would definitely do it that way.

If you want something close by, there is a store attached to the Ponderosa right around the corner from Disney. I got a great hoodie that would have been $40 at least at the world and it was only $15 there.

Check out this website: www.wdwig.com/tote.htm#911 That should work-I hope-that is a list of stuff to take each day. We just went in Nov and we have 12 and 10 year olds. My husband and I brought backpacks and had in them: money ID sunscreen bug repellant towel snacks water bottles...

This was our main question for our trip this past Nov but we went the first week of the month. We overpacked, not knowing if it would be cold or hot there and they had a heat wave while we were there......85 every day! We never got out our pants, jackets, nothing! And the kids swam at the...

Went to ASMo in Nov and it was great. We had a third floor room that was a heck of a walk with all of our luggage but it was fairly quiet and private. Never had a problem with mousekeeping and in fact were pleased that if we did call about something(i.e. extra pillows)they were at our door...

Warn them that when coming in that late, there isn't any cast members outside the check-in at ASMo and it's a heck of a trip to the rooms without a cart for baggage. They might want to ask around for some help when they get there. We checked in around 10 pm or so back in Nov and it took...

I got mine at my local AAA office at a discount for being a member.

Renting a car is definitely the way to go! Check each individual website for the different companies, Alamo, Enterprise, etc. and watch for their specials. There are also some codes at mousesavers.com sometimes. We used a code this past Nov and got a mid-size SUV for the whole week for under...

Personally, I would watch for specials on renting a car and do that. We are soooo glad that we decided to rent a car for our recent trip b/c we could go by our schedule and not Disney transportation. We picked up our rental at the airport and were on our way. That particular week, we got a...

Stay at AllStars!! It's inexpensive and perfect for kids. There's the pools, arcade, and even pizza delivery!! You'll love it....get adjoining rooms and you'll have plenty of space. Have fun!!

We collected change in a tall jar for a couple of years prior to our trip last Nov. We went to the store and poured it into one of those change machines. 45 minutes later(it takes awhile)we were $312 richer. It was really nice.....almost covered our airfare!!
