    Cypress Point Villas or Marriott Horizons Lately?

    We're going to Orlando 13th-16th of this month for me to go to a continuing ed conference---taking my mom and DD. Needed plenty of space and things to do for them while I'm off slaving away <G> so we tried to get Cypress Harbour (we've stayed there before and loved it) but nothing was available...

    Sensitive issue with mom

    My mom and I are plus-sized ladies, too. The only ride I've ever had a problem getting in and out of was Astro Orbiter at MK---mostly because it was so low down and I whacked the heck out of my knee when I first got in (nothing to do with size--just not watching what I was doing!). Mom has...

    Ladies... am I the only one out there who...

    I bring my own hairdryer too. I have short, but THICK stick-straight hair and the hotel dryers usually just don't do much for it; my own however will give it some lift and style even if I'm in a hurry. I also don't like the burnt hair smell most hotel dryers give off while you're using them...

    Anyone have ideas for trip journal pages for a preschooler?

    I was looking to do the same as you with your 4 yo---Sara can write things, but I was going to ask her questions each day about the day and write her answers for her, letting her add drawings or her own items that were special to her (like her card that "Minnie Mouse" aka Mommy) sent her today...

    Anyone have ideas for trip journal pages for a preschooler?

    I need ideas for trip journal pages layout/decorations for a trip journal for an almost 5 year old who's just "getting into" crafts/scrapping (she's been watching Mom and Oma doing it for 2 years and wants to do "her own thing"). I've seen the downloads at themouseforless.com and they're pretty...

    PS for Boma

    We have gone to Boma twice for dinner (I know original poster asked about breakfast). Once was mid-September last year and once was mid-January this year. Neither time did we have PS. In January (the 20th), we arrived at 5 p.m. and there was 1 solo diner present. We were seated in about 5...

    special dinner with toddlers (suggestions)

    We took our first trip as a family (hubby, DD who was 2 and a 1/2, and myself) this past September. The best non-character dinner we had was at Boma. We had gotten turned around trying to get to another restaurant and I spotted the sign for the hotel and said that Boma was there and we could...

    Marriotts Cypress Harbor?

    My Mom, daughter and I stayed there 2 years ago on a weeks' vacation. We got a 2 BR villa and really enjoyed it. If you need handicapped accessible room, be aware they will put you on top floor or 3rd floor so if you bring lots of stuff, you're in for a slog (there is an old family joke about...

    Hair braiding?

    When we went on Sept 16th and Sept 19th, the hair braiders at Sea World were just outside of the Penguin Encounter (next to the Xtreme Games area)--they were doing wraps, braids, and temp tatoos. Some of the people getting braids were getting beads incorporated in their braids (at top and...

    Hurricane Isabel is a possible problem for us....

    I am hoping and praying for ALL of us that Miss Isabel takes a turn northwest and stays out to sea. We are leaving tomorrow a.m. and will just wait and see what goes on. If we have to leave early, that's ok--we will deal with it (at least the adults will--I don't know how I will explain to...

    Hurricane Isabel is a possible problem for us....

    We leave the 13th and are there until the 20th. Everyone join hands with me and start blowing real hard........ keep those 'canes away from land PERIOD (especially Florida and poor Bermuda). Actually, the week I'm already having today, I'm due some good fortune so let's hope all will be...

    Question about AP (oh, no, not another one!)

    I have 3 days left on a 4 day PHP (first day used January 17, 2003). During our 7 day trip, we will be at WDW parks 4 days. Have another trip planned January 2004 (will spend 2-3 days in WDW parks). With the recent increase in pricing and the restrictions on trading in remaining days from PHP...

    Caribe Royale VS Embassy Suites LBV?

    We stayed at Caribe January this year. Other than the pool (which we didn't use because Florida experienced some fairly cold weather the week we were there) and the playground, we were not impressed. Didn't try the restaurants personally--but my Mom and DD did and were very...

    Windsor Palms condos?

    Thank you all for your replies. We are still mulling this over---sitting down today with the calculator and a big piece of paper to list the pros/cons of each....... We heard back from one of the owners we sent an inquiry to---have 2 BR/2 BA condo for $425/week with $250 security...

    Homeschoolers & HIFS

    That's a good rate, especially with the food vouchers. Don't forget that kids eat free with parents (I can't remember the age--they have it on their website). We've stayed at HIFS before and liked it (stayed there for DD's first Orlando trip when she was 11 mos old). When I was looking for...

    Has anyone stayed at the Marriott Cypress Harbour?

    My Mom, DD, and I stayed there end of last summer---I can't remember which building we were in, but it was one of the ones furthest away from where you check in. The only "bad" thing about it was when I was unloading the car (we got in very late at night), I had a close encounter with a group...
