    Canadian First Timer Here...H.E.L.P.!!!

    Fellow Canadian here.... We rented a vacation home from VRBO.com We got a great deal, but for a week, and there was 6 of us, so I won't bother recommending the house we stayed in. I recommend staying on site, even if you only spend 2 days at the park, there's lots of other things to do around...

    Any Canadian Shopping Deals Today.

    I wanted to get an Ipod touch for DS, but they were only $21 off. Not that great of a deal. Tomorrow I'll hit Canadian Tire for the GPS they have on sale for $99, listed for $150 on Magellan's website, a gift for my dad.

    Want to see what a Disney vacation really costs?

    The drive itself went very good. Awful fog through WV, and at night, I was terrified! It was a little bit slow through Charlotte, NC(an accident), and Pittsburgh due to road construction. Microtel was the cheapest, CAA rate of $67US including taxes, breakfast(coffee, juice, muffins, bagel...

    Want to see what a Disney vacation really costs?

    I did a pretty good job of keeping track of our expenses while away, and we didn't skimp on very much. Background on our trip: Stayed at a rental house with pool 20 minutes from Disney. There were six of us, DH, myself, my mom, and 3 kids, 15, 12 and 7. We drove down, and took two days each...

    Our Epcot Day....

    What a fabulous day we had yesterday at Epcot! Got there at 9am, and there was hardly anyone around! Didn't have to fastpass anything, and we all truly loved Soarin'! Test track was not fo me, but I did try it the second time the rest of the crew went. Every ride was walk on, even when it...

    Our MK day...

    Spent Tues at MK. 20 minutes from rental house, and got to the gate at exactly 9am. Missed the opening ceremony, but there was no way I was going to get my family to wait outside a park entrance. My plan worked great, walked on every important ride(as deemed by my family) before noon. The...

    Just Arrived!!

    It's actually a house, owned and rented privately(see a previous post). There's a management company if there is any problems. For example, the blind fell down in the masterbedroom, and I called, and they came the next day to fix it. I should also mention that it's very cold here by Florida...

    Just Arrived!!

    I don't remember the exact highways, our guidance system(nicknamed Lola) told us where to drive. I think it was mostly I75 and I77, through Virginia mountains and the tunnels. We left at 6:45am(15 minutes later than anticipated). Do any reststops before Virginia, because they were all closed...

    CAA/AAA special parking pass ?'s

    Yes, you have to buy a minimum 4 day MYW ticket, but since I bought 4 3-day tickets they gave me the parking pass.

    HERE NOW - quick trip update...

    Thanks for the report. We leave in 2 days too!! Thanks for the advise too, we were going to eat at Cici's at one point during our stay, because it's cheap, I have a 10% off coupon, and there are 6 of us. I'm thinking twice about that idea though. The weather looks like it is cooling off for...

    That's what I thought too! Thanks for the answer. Was the parking that much closer, and available?

    CAA/AAA special parking pass ?'s

    I've posted this in the Canadian forum too, but think I might have a better response here: Has anyone here used these? They're for special parking areas at the parks, you still need to pay for parking though. I was given two passes today when I bought my tickets, and thought that one was all...

    CAA special parking pass ?'s

    Has anyone here used these? They're for special parking areas at the parks, you still need to pay for parking though. I was given two passes today when I bought my tickets, and thought that one was all I needed. I think they must take the ticket, or part of it when I enter each park. If this...
