    Paying for vacation

    Is it possible that the OP was simply curious about what different people spend on their trips and how they spent? I don't think the question of how to price a vacation was ever brought up. I am on a trip right now but I was very interested in seeing how others are doing it or have done it...

    Flawed logic for going on Saturday?

    So I'm taking my wife and kids out to Orange County the last weekend of July, Friday through Tuesday. I already have one day park hoppers to use either Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. We are seasoned vets at the one day park hopping commando thing, and will be there from 8 am until they kick us out...

    Advantage Car Rental - Payment Inquiry

    I have "dealt" with advantage recently. Not too sure about holds on cards and debit cards, but they do not fully charge until the rental return. A couple things to be aware of during the check out process: They will PUSH the insurance on you. They will tell you that they do not deal with...

    1/2 way from Memphis?

    I was looking at the expedia directions, and it looks like alot of 2 lane highway with alot of exiting/entering. Having made the drive several times, I would agree with the poster above and opt for the Atlanta route. It takes us right at 12 hours, but we drive through the night. Macon looks like...

    Drive time from Nebraska to St. Louis and then to WDW??

    I'm in Memphis, about 4 hours south of St. Louis, and it takes us 12 hours driving through the night. So from St. Louis, if you take the route through Memphis, you can bet on 16 hours. Not sure of the total time from where you are in Nebraska, but it sounds like a pretty good trek.

    Where to watch fireworks outside of MK?

    My girlfriend and I watched from a hammock on the beach at Poly 2 nights while we were there just last week. Below is a link to video that I took. I believe it is the most "head on" view that there is from any of the resorts. Notice that while there is a delay in hearing the "booms," they are...

    Question about being a "seater"

    Just curious...how does one become a server/waiter at one of these restaurants? How is the pay? I assume that tip out is involved, but do the servers keep a good portion of their tips? Thanks!

    Both parks one day?

    Is this possible? My girlfriend and I are headed to Universal on a Thursday, Sept. 10. We had originally alloted two days to the park, but I have since been given free Disney passes for one day, so we are going to try and hit Universal/IOA into one day. Hours are 9 am to 6 pm, and we will be...

    Renting boats at the Marinas

    Quick question. My girlfriend and I are going down for 3 days and will do Universal for two, with one day just to check out the different Disney Resorts. I really want to rent one of the boats. Do you have to be a resort guest to rent from the marinas? Thanks!

If anyone has experiences with going the second week of September, can you tell me what crowds are...
