Parking is $7 and at Disney there are constant shuttles running to the front gate from the parking lots. We were just there in May and never had to wait. At Universal, they have people movers for the most part of the hike from the lots to the front gate. At both parks, just remember what lot and...

Agreeing w/above poster. We were there last week and DH was very disappointed -- he thought it would be like the traditional ESPN Zone we have frequented in Chicago. Not even close. :(

It depends on your home airport and destination, but from Grand Rapids, MI to MCO I find the best rates on Orbitz. ATA is always better through Orbitz than directly through ATA; however, this last time (last week) we ended up going Continental. I checked Orbitz and then Continental's site and...

We just rented through Enterprise last week. The ressie was under my name as DH has no credit card in his name (and debit cards are not accepted at time of rental). There was no extra charge for him to drive the car and I am not any kind of Enterprise member -- just seems to be their policy with...

Zzub- We were just down there last week. We stayed offsite at Marriott Royal Palms. After doing all of my prior research, we ended up renting a car and are VERY happy we did. Mears would have cost us $28/person RT to hotel from airport and then $11/person RT to parks. With 2 of us and 4 trips...

We just went last week and I found this to also be true as I looked for a special rate too. One tip though is, if you plan to buy 1day 1park tickets for 2 days (which is what DH and I did--MK one day and MGM another) buy the 2nd day at the window at the same time you purchase the 1st day. You...

We just returned yesterday (there 7 days) and while there was "a chance" of t-storms every day we only had rain one evening (approx 6pm) for about an hour. In watching the weather down there (Orlando stations) it seems they say there's a chance every day this time of year! The station we watched...

Another vote for HULK! LOVED IT!!! :p Dueling Dragons a distant 2nd -- although I seem to be in the minority ... I actually preferred Ice to Fire ...

If he likes movies I would say definitely Universal. We were at both just last week and while I loved the roller coasters at IOA we were more interested in the attractions at USO so we spent more time there (we are kidless and in our early 30's). At IOA we rode the coasters and water rides and...

I'm not sure when you are going but we were just there this past week. If you are going while school is still in session I would highly recommend avoiding IOA on Friday! I love kids, but there were hundreds of groups (and I'm not exaggerating) there on school busses. It made a busy day even...

I agree! We were just there this past week (ret'd yesterday :( ) and we did the same thing (purchased the 5dayers on line). It was very easy! Just be sure to take the credit card with you that you used to purchase the tickets AND the confirmation number that you print out. That simple! Tickets...

It is in a great location -- right between I-4 and 536 (2 miles from WDW and 10 miles from USO/IOA). We just returned yesterday from Royal Palms which are villas located on the grounds of MOWC. We also LOVED it there -- we were able to enjoy the grounds of MOWC but also able to "get away" when...

I don't have any experience w/ these hotels, but I'm pretty sure OP meant $290-352 for the entire stay of 4 nights, not per day. Hope this helps.

We just returned yesterday from Marriott Royal Palms. We visited both Cypress Harbour and Grande Vista as part of our timeshare meeting that we attended. So ... we did not stay at either, but we did walk the grounds of both and saw the innyards of both rooms. I would definitely say Grande Vista...

Thank you so much, Maren! That was very helpful and YES! I am very excited ... 5 hours til liftoff! Thanks again!

We are leaving this afternoon and I haven't done all my homework! (Just me and DH though ... no kids to plan for.) Anywho ... how do we do FastPass? We are staying offsite -- can we still use it or is it only for Disney Resort guests? Any help is appreciated. Thanks so much for all your...

We are heading to Orlando this afternoon and are thinking about going to MGM tomorrow but wonder if it will be packed or maybe the crowd will be light? No kids (yet) ... just me and DH. Opinions please! ;)

Ok -- so I am a Disney planning novice! I've heard of Pleasure Island, Downtown Disney, and Boardwalk. Are any of them synonomous with another or are they 3 distinct parks? Which is best? What are the costs and best times to go? Any help/advice is appreciated. FYI -- We are staying offsite at...

It seems that a lot of on-line brokers don't offer the single day tickets. Do we have to purchase them at the gate or is there somewhere I can get them any cheaper? Any help/advice is appreciated! We leave tomorrow afternoon ... can't wait!!! :earsgirl: :bounce: :Pinkbounc :smooth:

I just bought our Universal tix via their website. A 5-day (unlimited entrance to both parks, City Walk, and includes Universal Express) pass was cheaper than the 2-day pass. These are only available through their website. Only thing is that the 5 days are consecutive -- the clock starts...
