    Driving through Atlanta during rush hour

    I did a search and there is some discussion about driving through on 75 vs taking 285 around, but nothing too current. So I'd like to ask the opinion of the Atlanta area residents or anyone who has driving it recently. AAA and Mapquest recommend the bypass, but I'm not sure that is best...

    What am I doing wrong?

    I just look at Thrifty used your dates 9/24 - 10/01 and found a $89 rate - it was $123 after all the taxes. That was for a compact. It was $7 more for an intermediate. That was with no discount - I think AAA will get you 5 - 10 % and the Walmart code also will get you 10%. Give that a try...

    **UPDATED 2005 INFO** Mickey's NOT So Scary Halloween Party Central 2005 ***

    Thank you for your responses. Our kids bed time is between 8:00 and 8:30, since we live in the central time zone, that is 9:30 Orlando time. The problem is they need a solid 10 hours of sleep, so if we stay out till 11:00, they will sleep till at least 8:30 the next morning. Factoring in...

    **UPDATED 2005 INFO** Mickey's NOT So Scary Halloween Party Central 2005 ***

    This will be our (DH, DW, DS7, DD5) first October trip to WDW, so consequently our first opportunity to attend MNSSHP. I admit I have not read all 35 pages of this thread - I read the first 2 or 3 pages and the last few. I have a few questions, and apologize ahead of time if they have already...

    Any tips for driving with a 1 y.o?

    We drove to WDW when our youngest daughter was that age. The key for us was to keep her stomach full, and drive as many hours as possible when she was sleeping.

    Which Princesses Have You Seen at CRT?

    We visited CRT in April 2005. We saw Cinderella, Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Belle, Mary Poppins, Wendy, and Fairy Godmother in the lobby. My daughter was a little disappointed, she wanted to see Snow White.

    Diabetes - do you stick to your diet?

    Thank you for the responses and suggestions. I should have been more specific - my diet allows 12 -14 exchanges a day (that is 180 -210 grams). I have for the most part been able to stick in that range. What I have not been able to do on a regular basis is limit my largest meal to no more...

    Diabetes - do you stick to your diet?

    I was just recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I am taking pills and learning new eating habits. I'm learning how to count carbs, and am suppose to eat 12 -14 carbs a day, spread throughout the day as evenly as possible. This is quite difficult for me to do - I used to eat a small...

    Ohana with kids

    lovmy2girls - Thank you for your response. You weren't charge anything for the hotdog(s)? Not the $10.99 Ohana price or the $4-5 Kona Cafe price? That is a great deal for you, but I have to assume it was an oversight.

    Ohana with kids

    We thought Ohana might be fun for the kids - DS7, DD5. But before I booked an ADR, I thought I'd ask about the "alternate" menu. Our kids would probably eat some of what is on the normal menu, but I'm sure they would prefer chicken nuggets. I've read on ALLEARSNET that "alternate childrens...

    Soarin How long is the ride

    How is this ride for less adventurous kids? Are there individual seats or can you hold a frightened child next to you? My son does alright on Peter Pan at MK, but I'm pretty sure he would be very frightened on a ski lift. How does this compare? Once you are on and the ride begins is there...

    How deep is the pool at POFQ?

    It has been over a year since we were there, but if memory serves me - it varied from 3"0" or maybe 3"3" at the shallowest to about 4'6" or 4'9" at the deepest. I believe most areas were 4' or under.

    Hollywood & Vine - worth a visit?

    I thought it was somewhere between okay and good. there was nothing wrong with it, the food was alright tasting, but nothing on the buffet just knocked my socks off. Previous posts have raved about the desserts - they were plentiful, but again in my opinion just okay. The one thing I did find...

    Feeding a family with young children.

    Too each his own. Our experience with young kids has been that CS is better for basically the same reasons you stated - flexibility. Our kids get hungry at different times of the day depending on how much activity they've had and how long they have been awake. When they are hungery they do...

    Just back form POR

    Cindybell, Thank you for your review. I was surprised by your comment about getting bitten by bugs, that hasn't happened to me on any of my WDW visits. Was it flies, mosquitos, or maybe the no-see-em ? Were you bit only at the pool, or near/in your room also?

    Disney Restaurants and CLOSE SEATING!!

    Our most current trip we had very close seating at Hollywood and Vine. Also for a previous trip, I agree with other posters about the tight seating at San Angel.

    How long did it take you to check in your last WDW stay?

    Our last stay was this April. We stayed at AKL. Arrived at the hotel at about 2:00 pm on a Saturday afternoon. There was only one person in front of us in line. The check-in took less than 15 minutes, the room was ready, and they upgraded us from standard view to savanna view. That was a...
