    Planning First Trip to Hong Kong Disney-Any Tips

    We just returned from our second visit to Hong Kong. We went over Spring Break and I could not believe how EMPTY Hong Kong Disneyland was. We had been in 2007, shortly after it opened. At the time we were not impressed with Hong Kong Disneyland. It felt like a small, sad clone of...

    My recommendation if you want to stay in the city of Tokyo

    We went last year on a bit of a budget. It was our first time in Japan. We stayed at the Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay. It was literally connected to the Shin-Urayasu Station. We found the location ideal for exploring Tokyo Disneyland. It was also easy enough to get into Tokyo for seeing the...

    Seasons Florida Resort

    We stayed there for 1 night in between timeshare stays. While most definitely a budget hotel, the staff was friendly and the room clean. It really doesn't compare to anything on property. Even the value resorts are a step up, but they are more than double the price. If you are looking for...

    Windsor Hills vs Windsor Palms?

    IMHO, the only real upside to Windsor Hills is that the pool is better and they have a water slide. If you are staying in a condo, be aware that at Windsor Palms they are 3 story buildings with NO elevators, while at Windsor Hills they are 4 stories with elevators. All the townhomes at Windsor...

    Delta changed my flight - can I cancel and get refund?

    Yes, you have the option to get a refund if Delta changes your flight. Call them up and tell them the new flight times don't work for you and you would like a refund. Enjoy your free checked bags on Southwest!

    Night guard - $475.00 Ouch!

    I lost my nightguards in Australia a few years ago. My dentist also wanted $400+ for replacements. I found Sporting Smiles http://www.sportingsmiles.com/single-hard-night-teeth-grinding-guard.html and they were great. $150 for both upper and lower. The quality was as good as my original...

    Tips on Flights from West Coast to MCO

    Have you checked Southwest? They have a nonstop from San Diego to Orlando. Even though we live in Orange County, it is worth it for us to drive down to San Diego for a nonstop flight that is less expensive than anything we can get out of any of the airports closer to home. This summer we paid...

    Will DME "Hold" luggage for 1 night

    I did. I was told that if my flight arrives after 10PM to claim my own luggage and that it would be placed under the bus and brought to the resort.

    Will DME "Hold" luggage for 1 night

    Just an update - We flew in on Friday night, arriving in Orlando at 11PM, and stayed at an airport hotel. We packed a small carry on bag for our 1 night in the airport hotel and tagged the rest of our bags with our DME tags when we checked in at our home airport. We took Magical Express to...

    OKW Lovers Thread. Part 2

    We will be staying in a studio at OKW for a week this August. We are from California and like to stay on California time, going to bed around 1AM and waking up around 9 or 10. My wife is VERY sensitive to light and even a small amount of light coming in the room will wake her up. All...

    Southwest Flight Sold Out in an Hour?

    I booked 5 tickets on Southwest on the nonstop from Orlando to San Diego in August as soon as the new fares popped up. As soon as I booked, I checked again and the site listed "wanna get away" as "sold out". Business select and anytime are still available. This leads me to believe that...

    Anyone stay in a Treehouse Villa in the summer??

    We stayed for a week in August 2010. It was very peaceful and serene. One nice thing about that time of year is all the rainfall really "greens" things up. I would highly recommend THV, as long as your have a car, as the bus system is very inefficient. An August thunderstorm in the...

    Will DME "Hold" luggage for 1 night

    Thanks for everyone's input. I agree with what most of you are saying: The only thing more stressful than dealing with 2 toddlers and luggage for 4 is dealing with 2 toddlers and LOST (or missing) luggage for 4. I will call up DME when our trip gets closer and see what they say. I will post...

    Will DME "Hold" luggage for 1 night

    Sure, we are staying for 2 weeks in a studio at Boardwalk Villas/Old Key West using DVC points. We will not be renting a car and will be using Disney Transportation exclusively. I have a family member who works for a major hotel company and I can get a room near the airport for $35. The...
