    Is Pal Mickey worth it?

    I think it is a waste of $60 plus dollars. Sorry, why not just read the parade times off the guide maps. I could think of a lot of things to buy a 7 year old with $60 plus dollars. You could take her everyday to the disney store and let her pick something out for less than $10, and boy...

    Need help with Non-Disney Husband

    Well I can relate to you, because my dh doesn't seem to get the magic either. He would rather be fishing in northern ontario than spend any day in disney world. However, that said, he actually decided to buy into dvc this past year when we were in disney with our kids (1,6). You ask why...

    Just Returned from 11 days at SSR!!

    Glad you had a great time... 11 days... WOW... We can only do about 7 days at the most. I guess you weren't worried about additional weekend points, it's probably a lot easier to stay in one resort rather than move. We're ssr members but will stay in 1br at okw in january and cannot possibly...

    Renting Points to pay Maintence Fees?

    I think there's nothing wrong with it, in fact, you should rent them for $11 to $12 to maximize how much you can get. the other 75 points is great for 1 week trip. We were going to do that, but then with 2 little kids the idea of a 1 bedroom seems much more suited to our needs so we'll use...

    car rental??

    That was for EZ car rental and their pick up is off of the airport, that's also why it is cheaper than others. I still say go with L&M b/c their pick up is right in airport terminal.

    Need A little help

    I remember there was a whole long thread about saving money at disney to help a family called the Sorrentinos. There were about 500 replies and ideas to save money. Go back a few weeks and you should find it, it has lots of useful ideas. Good luck

    car rental??

    Try L&M Car Rental, their rates are ALWAYS cheaper than the national brands, even with codes. Also they allow for a second driver for free if you are married. Recent comparison 1 day other agency $16.50, 1 day L&M $12.04. That is about 25% cheaper. makes a big difference.

    Studio or 1br at okw?

    Thanks everyone, it's official, and we'll try the 1 br. We probably will spend most of our time around the resort since my dh is sick of the parks and my little guy will only be 2. So the large room should help since we'll be there probably quite a bit. Thanks for helping us make our...

    Studio or 1br at okw?

    We're going as first time dvc owners to okw and I'm wondering whether to use all our points for 1 br or to use only 1/2 points for studio. How much better is it really? I know we can't travel again till next year since we are in Canada so we will only do 1 week (including sat and sun)...

    Have an Ebay question

    This happened to me last year with some disney tickets I bought. The seller never was able to get them and didn't cough up my money until about 3 months later. So, immediately contact ebay and paypal and place a claim for a refund. If you are not sure how, click on the "live help" on ebay...
