    I'm NOT complaining, but why is our tax refund so huge this year?

    Yes, the tax credit of $2000 per child is new this year. Also, the employment tax credit went up by $750 this year to $1000 and the basic personal amount tax credit also went up.

    Refund Policy

    I was just wondering if anyone can provide me with details about the reservation refund policy. We're in the process of planning our October 2008 trip and we have friends that are considering going with us. However, they're not 100% sure yet. I'd like to book our rooms now but since they're...

    OT Barrie Ontario

    Both resorts are good and I've heard good things about snow tubing at both. Horseshoe is the bigger of the two and offers a lot more than just skiing and snowtubing, ie snowshoeing, cross country skiing, so it tends to be very busy. Snow Valley is closer to the city so it would require less...

    seat selection on southwest

    Just a quick FYI - When you're ready to come home, the conceirge (sp?) at your hotel will log on to SW website for you and print your BP as well. We did this at AKL in November and got our A pass. You have to be there when they do, so we had to plan our day around being in the hotel at 1 pm to...

    POR and AKL Q's

    We did just that. Our original resort was POFQ (which we've never stayed at) but with the discount code, we upgraded to AKL and still saved $300US. We visit AKL every trip to tour the resort and check out the animals etc. It's been my dream resort from the first time I walked into the...

    Got the November code applied...big savings!

    We were orginally going to stay at POFQ but used the code and upgraded to AKL and still saved over $300US. I'm so excited to stay at AKL! I make DH go and sit in the AKL lobby every trip that we go!

    Housekeeping theft at Saratoga Springs

    DH and I both like to think that this was a coincidence. But it does make you stop and think about how much we let our guard down while we're on vacation. At the very least, our room was a lot neater from that point on.;)

    Housekeeping theft at Saratoga Springs

    In Jan 06, we came back to our room at POP early so we could go for a swim before dinner. While I was getting changed, I heard DH talking to someone. DH told me that it was some guy who had the wrong room but his key opened our door. At first we thought this was just a funny coincedence, but...

    Let's talk YOAMD - Canadian Style

    We won Dream Fast Passes at Epcot in December. We were walking past Innoventions on our way to Soarin' (for the fourth time) and a cast member told us that it would be faster to walk through Innoventions instead of around. We were't in any rush but we thought we'd go that way anyway. When we...

    OT Wicked: The Musical

    We went to see it last night, and oh my God!! What an incredible show! It exceeded all my expectations. I found that the show and the book were so different it was like two different stories. Both very good, but very different. I wish I was going again!

    What's Vaughn Mills like?

    I like the Vaughan Mills mall, but I haven't been able to do the whole mall in one trip. It is a decent size and can get a little crowded in the holiday season, but what mall isn't. I haven't been down there in a while. Ever since the renovated Georgian mall in Barrie reopened. If I...

    OT Wicked: The Musical

    Good! I'm a little relieved. I'm sort of forcing DH to go. So on top of my worry as to whether he would like it, I was starting to wonder about whether I would like it myself. It sounds weird, but I had a hard time dis-associating Lion King the musical from Lion King the movie. Next...

    Coffee Maker in the Room...

    Has anyone ever brought Tim Horton's coffee to WDW to make in their room? I know that DH would be a better morning person if he had his Timmy's fix since we will have a coffee maker in the room this time I thought it might not be a bad idea to bring some with us. We will be flying so I know it...

    OT Wicked: The Musical

    Now I'm worrried! I read the book and LOVED it. 2 hours after I finished the book I ordered tickets to see the show in TO on Oct 27th. I've assumed that there will be some differences because the book is very "adult", but now I'm worried that I won't like the show at all. By the way twinz...

    Cost of Black Adult Mickey Ears?

    I don't remember what the cost was, but I know you can get the stitching done in MK for free. There is a little place beside the Snow White Ride, right on the corner in Fantasy Land that sells the ears (a variety of different styles) and will put the names on them. The only down side is that...

    Need lightest, coolest sneakers for parks-No crocs or sandals

    I like my New Balance. They're comfortable and offer a lot of support, both arch and ankle. I also like my Merrells, but after a few days, they start to hurt my feet. We also use "double layer socks" that we get at the Running Room so there is less friction and therefore less heat and...
