Last year we decided to drive to WDW from New Mexico. It's about a 28 hour drive, so lots of stops. We stopped about 6 hours from Orlando in Chipley, Fl on the last leg. I think it was a Quality Inn and Suites? Nice hotel, clean, etc... But right when we pulled into CBR my husband realized he...

My agents are having the same issue with their clients. There's very limited to no availability for Value and Moderates.

Any reputable TA that you use should never charge you for their services. Minnie mum is right, we don't get access to discounts before the general public. Disney is really cracking down on some agency's getting the info before others. If you don't have time to do the bookings of discounts and...

I actually own my agency, after working with a host agency for awhile. Most agencies don't send you leads, or will send them to you after you've been with the company for so long, or reached a certain commission. (I do send leads to my agents when they get started because they are all brand new...

Thanks Lady BeBop! Yes, my DH and I have been talking about leaving even earlier than I had originally planned so we could take longer and not feel so rushed! I think now that it's getting closer I'm able to think more clearly that the fact it's really happening and to nail down some plans (and...

Oops I should have specified! Of course we will be making stops for gas and stretching! We are probably staying overnight in Shreveport! Yes, 26 hours is a lot for one shot! I-10 in Jacksonville turn right, got it! Thank you so much!

Ok I have been lurking on this post for months! My family and I are driving from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Caribbean Beach Resort. We have a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country. I'm planning on taking I-40 to Amarillo, then I-20 E to I-10 E. So basically Albuquerque to Amarillo to Dallas to...

I'm usually a lurker and don't post too often. (Especially if I'm not planning a trip!) But I just started my own travel agency a few months ago. I started with a host agency to learn the ins and outs of the business. But my host agency was doing some things that I didn't think we were a good...

We're a family of 5 as well. We have stayed at AOA before and loved it. But with the spring discount it was actually cheaper to stay at Caribbean Beach Resort with their newly refurbished rooms with the murphy bed. I debated back and forth whether or not we'd need the little kitchen area. But...

I was in Alpha Chi Omega here at University of New Mexico. I lasted about a year. They started pressuring the lower classmen to move into the house and I couldn't afford it. So I left. But it was a lot of fun, maybe a bit too much fun, still haven't finished my degree!

When I turned 30 my family threw a surprise party for me. pixiedust:

If we're talking about flying, I agree, SNA is a lot more like the Orlando feel. Once when my DH went to California for business I flew out to meet him for a few days. I flew into LAX because it was cheaper. Good grief that airport gave me a headache! It was just so big and confusing! I went...

We live in a suburb of Albuquerque and have thought about driving out to Disney, it's about a 12 hour drive for us. We have done Amtrak once before and it was a neat experience but it would be cheaper to drive. The longest trip we've done with the kids is 6 hours to Carlsbad, NM to see the...

Yep, it's pretty normal. When you have a baby it seems any and all personal questions are out on the table. When I had my twins I had complete strangers asking me if they were natural or IVF. If I breastfed, bottle fed, cloth or disposable diapers, c-section or not, epidural or natural, and with...

I don't mind Valentines Day. I remember as a little girl my dad would get me a little bouquet of flowers when he got my mom her flowers so I felt special :) My youngest son was born on Valentines Day and he's the best present I could have :lovestruc. So we always celebrate his birthday on...

I love my fit flops! I have a dozen pair or so. I always wear them during the summer and when we went to DLR and WDW I wore them all day. They are really comfortable and the way the strap goes lower on your foot it stays on pretty well. I have a high arch so it's really comfortable for me. I...

I have had Verizon for probably over 10 years. I do like the coverage they have but the extra hidden fees and the overage charges were killing us! We watched our data very carefully but with my dh's job sometimes he needs the internet on his phone and we'd wind up going to the next data plan. So...

My youngest son was born on Valentines Day so we'll be celebrating at Chuck E Cheese as that's where he wants to go :rolleyes1... Hopefully it will be slow lol!. Because of his birthday being that day my dh and I always celebrate a week or two later. The bonus to that is less crowded, no...

Our school district just closed schools for tomorrow. We're in a Winter Storm Warning and expecting 5 inches. But... this is New Mexico, so no one knows how to drive in these conditions. My DH said the freeway was bad with black ice and saw several accidents including roll overs. So, we are...

Here in New Mexico we have some snow, depending on the elevation where you live. In my town we're on the foothills on a mountain so we've got maybe 3-4 in? So my kiddos are on a 2 hour delay. Which is fine by me! We get to sleep in and not have to count it as a snow day! But we're expecting more...
