    Disneyland April 20, Am I crazy?

    We will be in the LA area for a admitted college event on Thursday and Friday and will be done by 10:00 am on Saturday morning. Our flight doesn't leave until 11pm that night. Am I crazy to try to visit Disneyland on a Saturday? It has been about 9 years since our last visit. I am so...

    Alamo rates finally down today! Even easter week!

    Thank you for the codes. I did get a good rate, but it specified that I needed to have the coupons with me when I pick up the car. Do you think that only means using a Visa credit card?

    Day trip to Washington D.C. Help needed BADLY!

    To be honest, because we go downtown after the museums close, we usually drive and are able to park near the Capitol, but I don't think the metro will be terrible, just more crowded than normal.

    Day trip to Washington D.C. Help needed BADLY!

    Despite what you might think, with the 4th of July being on a weekend, many Washingtonians leave for a long weekend to the beach or just out of town. Monday will be a federal holiday with the US Government offices closed for the day, so actually less people will be in town, but it will be busy...

    Gift Ideas for Volunteers

    This year I was the president of a group of parents who help out with my child's high school theater department. I would like to present something to each of the parents (the majority are women) who served with me on the board this year. Any cute ideas on what I could give each of them? They...

    Washington DC over the 4th!!?!

    One of my favorite things to do is go to the rehearsal for A Capitol Fourth on July 3. The live show broadcast on PBS each year is a mob scene and I wouldn't do it on the 4th, but the rehearsal is lots of fun. It begins around 7:30 p.m. on the lawn in front of the Capitol, the side closer to...

    Parking at Parks

    Please refresh my memory, when visiting all of the parks, is it possible to park directly outside the park except for the Magic Kingdom where you park at the TTL and take the boat or the monorail to the Magic Kingdom? Does Epcot have a parking lot? Thanks!:)

    Rumor or Truth?? Epcot walk to MGM

    Does anyone remember how often the boats go back and forth between MGM and Epcot? Does the boat stop running at MGM closing? I will be there this weekend and can't remember from my last trip.

    Not sure where to put this- People to People student ambassadors

    You must be a travel agent. Aren't you lucky that you are able to plan a three week trip to the UK for a family of four for $5,000! I wish I was so lucky!

    Not sure where to put this- People to People student ambassadors

    I wouldn't call it deception that your child has been nominated, because teachers and former PTP participants do nominate those they feel would get something out of this opportunity. I would call it marketing strategy. Even the government uses marketing strategy on getting out information to...

    Not sure where to put this- People to People student ambassadors

    Of course anyone can be nominated and of course they are a profit making organization. But each student must have a number of teachers write recommendations for the application process. I was glad it was not a cheap trip, because my son is irreplaceable and I want him to be in safe...

    Not sure where to put this- People to People student ambassadors

    PTP is a wonderful experience for kids. My 13 year old son went to England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales from July 2-21. It was his first time away from us for more than 1 night and he did fine. He had a fabulous time and learned so much. He was in Scotland during the London bombings and I...

    Touring LA Area- What neighboorhoods should we avoid??

    We just returned from LA last night and my only advice to you is allow plenty of time when driving! We are in the DC area and familiar with backed up traffic -- but the LA traffic is terrible all the time! I have never seen so many cars and so much slow traffic -- plan accordingly!

    Early Entry

    We went on Buzz after we did some rides in Fantasyland this past Tuesday and I'm sure it was after 8:45 a.m. and we only had a five minute wait. So we did it twice. When we went by it later in the day, it was a 40 minute wait.

    Portofino Inn?

    We are going during spring break and I was looking at both Portofino Inn and Coast Inn. After looking at some of the reviews on tripadvisor.com, I picked Coast Inn, but I liked the idea of the Kid's Suites (which aren't available during our stay). Tripadvisor.com is helpful. You might want to...

    Airlines Bumping

    When you get bumped, do you volunteer when you check in or do you wait for them to ask for volunteers? I know some of you said you volunteer, but how about the rest of you? :confused3
