    For 2,000+ mile round-trip drivers only!

    We drove down first time in April in a 2005 Honda CRV. The car had enough room for the 4 of us for a week and great mileage. The only drawback was the ride is a bit rougher than a minivan and after 20+ hours, you do notice everything. If I had to pick 3 essential things for the trip it...

    For those folks driving!

    In April, we stayed at the Fairfield Inn at Savannah (right next to airport). It is across the street from the Springhill suites. It had a nice pool/hottub and nice morning breakfast spread. Next door is a waffle house, within a mile is a Walmart and other plaza type stores. A big plug for...

    For 2,000+ mile round-trip drivers only!

    Hi - Last month we drove down over April vacation, left on thursday night - drove til GA arrived at 3pm and left the next morning early for the Mouse. So with that perspective, the only issue we faced was the GWB in NYC. Every time I go through I get stuck in traffic. Now I will avoid the...

    drive to parks or take buses??

    Since you do enjoy the bus experience, I would recommend going with 2 umbrella stollers for your 2 kids. Very easy to get on and off the bus and easy to manuever in the parks. No renting of a stoller to deal with. When our kids were that young, we put florescent orange tape on the handles to...

    Pool Home Recommendation??

    nope, Just have them saved for my next trip down when I need a larger home with a pool. I think the rates on them were good last time I checked, but one of them is huge (5br/5bth) and would be a good option for a multi-family trip. Hope they help with choices. :thumbsup2

    any GPS recommendations

    thanks. Street names seems like a great feature. How about map updates? Do all models have a pay for update process, or do some have free updates via a usb connection?

    Any great ideas out there for keeping kids happy on the long drive to WDW?

    We are driving down as well in April but our kids are older so we are thinking of DS units, portable DVD, coloring/drawing etc. When our kids were younger, I remember my wife hooking up a holder to the back of the front seats that would have pockets in it. Thin material almost like an apron...

    any GPS recommendations

    Hey all! We are driving from ME to FL this April and want to get a GPS for the trip. There are multiple brands and price ranges out there and I am currently a GPS noob. My target is under $100. Brand advice would be great and especially if there are any options that are only available on...

    For 2,000+ mile round-trip drivers only!

    This is still a couple of months away, but we are driving from ME on April 17th (first time, we usually fly). The kids and my wife have the next week off from school and since we have not been in 5 years - heading to Kissimmee seems like a perfect thing to do. The only question I have is do...

    Windsor Hills Townhome

    We are actually staying at Windsor Hills this April. When we looked at the condos, each had their own decorations and themes. For me, I would not send in any money without first seeing actual pictures of the townhome to make sure it will fit our tastes, some look kind of plain and might not...

    Florida High-Speed Rail -- MCO to WDW

    But the question I have is at what point do the benefits outweight the costs? I mean - yea, a bullet train is cool, but where is the need - it is already being served by the buses and trains within reasonable limits. At a price tag of up to $2,500,000,000.00 - it seems like is something...
