    Not so dreamy Disney Dream

    We cruise a lot. At least 4 times a year and have done both the Wonder and Magic. When we received an invite for the Inaugural Benefit cruise we jumped on it. My wife and i organised three couples from work for what we thought was going to the perfect cruise. Jokingly we said we hoped we...

    Years before we moved to Florida we too fell for the Westgate pitch.All I can say it was 90 minutes of hell for what we were told were half price Disney tickets. Two young children in tow we wondered how bad could it be? My children were promised 90 minutes of day care fun while we inspected...

    westjet seat sale--ends at midnight

    I just booked on a United Seat Sale from Montreal on ORBITZ. $ 336 US / taxes included and the fares have to be booked soon but run till late in this year. Even with the conversion that's $ 100 CAD less then West Jet. Best of all a choice of 6 daily flights.

    Anyone ever stay in Chatham Park?

    15 year old neighborhood that has become more popular with long term rentals then vacationing tourists. Has security guards but they are not too effective.

    Disney Photopass a failure

    Who are you two to lecture us on ethics ? For my family this is a big deal. They have set up a flawed system, have no level of customer support and worst of all when confronted I'm told this is a contract with Kodak that is being sorted out. I argued that the old Disney company never tolerated...

    Disney Photopass a failure

    ....compounded by no back up system. The real problem for us was the photographer encouraged us to avoid the long lines at the gate where they had the photography distribution. On the way out we wanted that picture but sure enough one clerk and probably 20 people ahead of us. So long a line a...

    Disney Photopass a failure

    Some brain decided the old regular picture taking method at the parks had to go. For the last 10 years we had a family tradition of going to one of the parks and have a formal family picture taken in front of a different scene in one of the parks. Our hallway is lined with year after year of...

    Mass Transit Question...

    Not at all. The stops will be Tampa, Haines City, Disney's Wide World of Sporrts (area) and Orlando airport. Why not the Universal or SeaWorld areas ? Disney donated land and plenty of cash to fund the study. The others just moaned of unfair competition and offered NO land for a station.
