    Disneyland question

    Hi erinbharris - I have nothing to compare the pool at the Candy Cane Inn to as it is one of the only places we've stayed when visiting Disneyland. It was clean, though not overly large. There was a separate hot tub. It was in the centre court. We liked the Candy Cane Inn as a whole due to...

    Disneyland question

    We bought park passes through Getawaytoday. No problems at all and saved a few dollars. Good customer service. We stayed at the Candy Cane Inn (bit of a discount through CAA) and loved it!

They now have a...

    We've gone at Christmas and Easter and used both. If I had to pick one, it would definitely be Ridemax. :-)

    We haven't used our cell phone, but have always had good success with the President's Choice calling card. 4 cents/ minute and good for 6 months from activation (purchase).

    Oops...sorry...you were looking for first-hand experiences and I'm not sure my son even had it. I was just so excited to see that someone else gets to leave in 18 days as well!

    Have YOU had Swine Flu?

    Hi Albertan mom! We leave in 18 days too! And the same question has concerned me. My son was sick over the weekend and we kept him home from school on Monday (flu-like symptoms and temp.). 5 kids were missing from his class that day. Yesterday it was up to 7. Haven't heard yet about today...

    Snickerboo, that sign about checking the guns before entering the store DOES exist in Canada!http://www.disboards.com/images/smilies/eek.gif They have a sign like that at the Bass Pro Shop Outdoor World right outside of Calgary.

    Anyone ever flown Continential???

    It's my understanding that you can pay your checked baggage fee online when you check-in online, which is doable on or after the 24 hour mark prior to your flight time. As for what time to get to the airport, we live out of town 1 3/4 hours and are staying in Calgary the night before. All I...

    Anyone ever flown Continential???

    Oops...I should add that the baggage fee is less by $5 per bag if you pay online when you do your online check-in rather than waiting to pay at the airport.

    Anyone ever flown Continential???

    We have flown with them a couple of times. Once was Calgary-Houston-Orlando and the other was Calgary-Houston-Tampa. Both flights had very short connection times in Houston (ie. 42 minutes) but there was time to make the connection. I believe we actually got meals on the longer leg of the...

    New Airport Security Scanner

    The scanner did not take long at all. At one point I believe I did have to turn away from my carry-ons, however my husband was with the bags as he wasn't "selected" for the extra security check. Next time I will most likely decline the scanner, but it all happened so fast and I was unprepared...

    New Airport Security Scanner

    I had to do the body scan in Tampa airport. It did slow the process down as I had to wait for whoever reads the scan (don't know where they were) to OK everything. They even checked back to ask if I was wearing a belt. I was told that if I didn't go through the scanner I would have to have a...
