    One day sale on Air Tran!!

    We just flew Airtran out of Flint direct to Orlando for $123.00 round trip. I got these tickets back around July thru Travelocity, but I'm sure they'll come back down eventually. We loved flying out of Flint! Such a nice airport and so much easier to navigate than Metro!

    What resorts are on the monorail and other newbie questions? LONG POST

    We just returned from a late September visit, and I believe they did have fireworks almost every night. MK hours were 9-8 or 9-9 every day, except 10/1 when they had MNSHHP on 10/1, then it closed at 6:00. We stayed at the Poly and loved it, pool was fab and the location was great, we'd...

    Polynesian

    Samoa! Closest to everything and recently refurbished. Ask for ground floor Volcano Pool side and it's great, easy access out your door to pool, snacks, ceremonial house and has a sideway view of lagoon. 2nd choice would be Tokelau, it's a bigger building so your chances of getting it are...

    Just back from the Poly

    My cowardly 6 year old loved the Volcano Slide! I went behind him the 1st time and he was fine from there. Water at the end is appx 4 ft. deep so I would just wait for him to come down. I don't know what came over him, he was so brave all week, rode Space Mountain 5 times, Dinosaur twice...

    My thoughts on Poly concierge

    We just returned from the Poly 9/30-10/6, so it sounds like we were there around the same time. Just wanted to say that we had a great time and a great experience, though we were not concierge. We arrived around 11:00 am on Wednesday 9/30 after 2 delays due to hurricane Jeanne, but check in...

    Which longhouse at Poly?

    We just returned from the Poly 9/30-10/6, and had asked for and received the Samoa Building. We loved it and thought the location was great, right next to the Volcano Pool, and so close to the snack shop where we were always refilling our mugs. Request ground floor or third floor, 2nd floor...

    Poly Question for Anyone Recently in Samoa Bldg

    We just returned from the Poly 9/30 - 10/6, and stayed in room 1613 in the Samoa Building. We loved it! So close to the pool, Ceremonial Building and everything else! Our room had no smoke smell or musty smell, carpet looked to be very new. Room was very clean, but we did see one...

    Trip report on our first trip 9/29-10/6-wow!

    It was everything I had hoped it would be! I saved for 5 years for this trip, and did ton's of research, etc. As the departure date approached I almost felt a letdown, how could any trip live up to my insane expectations? It did! After a few crazy days of rescheduling due to Jeanne, we...

    Can you see the Electric Parade from Ohana's?

    You can see it, but it's somewhat distant. Really cool to sit on the beach and watch it pass, I'd try to time your Ohana's dinner so you'd be finishing up about 8:30 and could head for a stroll along the beach. Enjoy!

    Tell me why I'll love a Disney water park

    We just returned 10/6 after 8 days at WDW, and we loved BB so much we went back twice. We had intended to do Typhoon Lagoon but ran into a family that had tried both and liked BB much more. They said the shark swim was cool but very short with a really long wait. Our kids are 12, 10 & 6 and...

    Hurricane Jeanne changed my plans and DW is not being helpful!!!

    I'm so glad everything worked out for you! We also rescheduled from a 9/27 arrival to a 9/28 and everyone was great! AirTran is waiving the rate change and the rescheduling charges, The Poly is honoring my package rate. I was very concerned because WDW travel wouldn't change my ressie because...

    Supposed to fly out of Boston Monday morning to MCO, should I be worried?

    We also were suppose to arrive Monday am, but I chickened out and rescheduled for a flight arriving Tues AM. I feel so much better!!! And the kids aren't too bummed since it's only a one day delay. ( I did have to promise to order in pizza tonight though!) Seems like I've spent hours...

    Laundry at the Poly

    Can anyone tell me how much a load costs? Skiwee1-I found some Laundry Tablets at Walmart, I think they were 10 for .97$! Not a brand I've ever heard of though, hope my things come out ok! See you at the Pool, looks like we'll be a the Poly at the same time.

    so will it be busy in 10 days?

    amhgbh, We'll be there the same time as you, at the Poly 9/27 - 10/4. Really hoping for low crowds, my husband doesn't do well in a crowd/heat situation. We're fellow Michiganders (go State!), from Ada (Grand Rapids).

    Brita Water Bottle Straps???

    I found the Brita Bottles at Linens & Things, I think they're a chain but maybe only in the midwest. They were clearance priced at $3.25 each, and if you used a 20% off coupon they would be about $2.60! Found them in the kitchenware area, near the "gadgets"...good luck!

    Who's at the Poly 9/27 - 10/4?

    We're so excited, it's our first trip! I just hope we don't get hooked as we can't afford this every year. Hoping for Samoa Blding but they all sound great. We'll be celebrating DS's 11th bday, any idea's on how to make it special? Look for us as we plan to spend lots of time...

    Who has flown Spirit Airlines??? Tell me....

    Hi Fellow Michiganians... I'm from Grand Rapids and found flying out of Bishop (Flint) to be much cheaper than GR, Detroit or even Chicago. Paid $173.00 each, I'll keep watching and hope it goes down. And I'm thrilled we won't have to be negotiating Metro with 4 young kids for a 7:00 am...

    Will a 6 year old need a stroller?

    My DS will have just turned 6, and is a very slow walker when he gets tired. do you veterans recommend a stroller or are they more of a hassle? Do the rental strollers hold much stuff?
