    Disappointed in Le Cellier

    I think the main problem has to do with expectations. LC has been hyped to the heavens so a newbie to the restaurant expects great things ... very hard to live up to. They have also made it a 2 dining credit restaurant (I think), so you REALLY have high expectations. While I have enjoyed...

    Advice for 10 day parking at Chicago O'Hare

    Thanks for your reponses. I'm still not sure what to do. I've read several of the reviews of these places .... as you would expect, some with great experiences and some not so much. Has anybody parked in the F Economy lot at O'Hare? I know you have to get a shuttle to the tram, but the...

    Just booked Delta, have a few ???'s

    We also have a Delta AMEX card. Delta has a lot of flights in our area so we have taken advantage of the card many times to get free checked baggage and priority boarding. After the first year, there is a fee; however, we get a companion ticket annually and we use this to fly to Vegas every...

    We will be driving in from SW Michigan ... so will be coming on I-94 and then (most likely) connecting to 294 out to O'Hare.

    Advice for 10 day parking at Chicago O'Hare

    Just booked a trip from Chicago O'Hare to Orlando. Since I don't normally fly out of Chicago, I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good parking company. We are flying in Janaury, so covered parking is a plus. Right now, I'm thinking we do not need a hotel for the night, but if that is a...

    Players Cards?

    We go to LV at least once per year and have a ton of player's cards. We normally rent a car and will go to a lot of the casinos off-strip. The best couple of trips were the first years we had the American Casino Guide (book with coupons you can buy) ... lots of coupons for free play when you...

    My 13 year old has been lying to me

    Just responding to the OP without reading responses. I would sit him down and tell him the story of the boy that cried wolf. Explain that when he tells these "stories" to "pull your leg", you believe him. Explain that you are reaching the point, where you don't know whether to believe...

    Transfers to/from Port Canaveral or Rental Car?

    Dito the "time consuming part" ... we have flown to Florida specifically for a cruise. We've booked two one-day rentals ... while the total for both has been under $100, the process in Port Canaveral of dropping/picking up/shuttle has been very stressful as you have cruise passengers coming and...

    Pool Toys at the All-Stars?

    They used to not allow any flotation devices, but that has changed over the years. The main problem is, if you have a large flotation device (like a raft) the life guard cannot see underneath it ... if someone is drowning and is located under the raft, it would be hard to see. I would...

    Help! Is nothing available?

    Book it NOW at rack rates ... it's better to have a room at full price than no room at all !! LOL. If discount rates are released, you can always rebook.

    Are Oct '12 Rental Cars a Bit Pricey?

    The last few years, I have been able to snag very, very low rates on rental cars. I will book as soon as I know my dates, and then will keep looking for better discount codes and lower prices. The last two trips I took, I got unbelieveable rates just a day or two before I left!!! Five days...

    Help! Is nothing available?

    If your dates are set in stone, I would grab whatever reservation you could get now. You can always rebook if and when a discount comes out, or more options open up. That is what I have always done when booking hotel rooms. Book something that can be cancelled and keep checking for lower...

    child in lap on wheelchair?

    Only you can speak to your situation. You are right to be concerned about the amount of walking that will be done. I think I'd try to have a separate ride for your daughter rather than plan on her being on your lap when you, yourself have medical issues. Again, only you are in a position to...

    Maybe a crazy question about ponchos

    Responding to OP without reading responses. I like taking those ponchos you get at the $ store ... 2/$1. They don't take up much room and you can toss them once the rain has passed. If, however, I'm there during a full day of rain and/or several repeated days of rain, I tend to spend the...

    first time! first day! MK or not?

    I am responding to the OP without reading any of the responses .... The first night, I would definitely ride the monorail and, might I suggest, plan to attend a dinner show. Specifically, I would recommend the Hoop de do Review ... there is nothing more Disney than that show!!! To get...

    Anyone own a Toyota Highlander?? Need help.

    We bought a new Highlander last August. There are several "kinds" of Highlanders and ours is the FWD 6 cylinder. We currently have 10k miles on it. During the winter, in town, I was getting about 17 mpg ... during moderate weather (again, in town) it is closer to 20 mpg. On strictly highway...

    Planet hollywood

    All I can say is to continue checking their website ... make sure you have a reservation you can cancel if something cheaper comes along. If PH is hosting the event, then chances are they are pretty full and can charge the huge amount. Good luck!

    Won't give us a dining plan because one family member does not eat

    Am I missing something? You are talking about going at a time when there is no free dining. If only two of the three of you will actually eat, why are you so set on purchasing the (not very cheap) dining plan? Just pay OOP. Or if you like to prepay, purchase a Disney gift card with the...

    Just Back....Strange Observance

    I'm responding based on the original post and not on any comments ... Walt Disney was VERY CONCERNED about maintaining the magic and it was his intent that CM did not appear in a costume that was not appropriate for a particular area of the park. I too started seeing this during my last...
