    I WON a trip to DISNEY!!!!

    Congrats! And not to throw any sand on this party, but make sure your tax accountant knows how to work with non-cash prizes. We won a trip to WDW in 2009 from DVC and we use Turbo Tax...and let's just say Turbo Tax could learn a thing or two about informing their users on what to do to...

    Planning an impromptu 1 day park plan for friend

    Thanks for the input. I had never really put an Epcot evening into the "romantic" category, but I think you're on to something. Must be because I travel there with 2 kids all the time! Lol! I really hope they don't miss Soarin'. That is an absolute must-do! Anyone gone very recently that...

    Planning an impromptu 1 day park plan for friend

    A friend of mine just informed me that he is going to FL next week and he said they may take a day trip to WDW. "Perfect", I told him. "I got you taken care of." Friend info: Male, 31, single, no kids, going with pretty serious GF who is 35, single, no kids. I immediately mentioned Food &...

    Should I close my credit card accounts when I pay off the balance?

    Definitely do not close your cards. Just cut up the ones you want to close. Closing the accounts will lower your credit score because your available credit will be lower and your utilization ratio will be higher if you carry a balance on any other cards. Say you currently have a total limit...

    MK Fireworks Dessert Party - June open!

    It IS a small world after all! :laughing: Ours is a surprise too...actually the whole trip is! We're driving down and not telling them until they wake up in the morning and we're in the middle of GA. We're telling them that we're going to go stay in a cabin somewhere in the middle of...

    Flight gets in at 11:15 am, can we make a 2:50 lunch?

    On our March 2009 trip, we were scheduled to land at 2:17pm. I made a dinner reservation at CP for 5:30pm. Our flight landed at 2:30-ish. I ran ahead to get the rental car while my mom and DW managed the kids and the luggage. I had a tough time getting my DD's car seat installed in the...

    Kona sushi bar?

    We've eaten both, not on the same trip though. We enjoyed both places. At Kona, we had sushi as an appetizer and were breaking in our DD's to sushi (they both liked it!). IIRC, we had the Dragon Hand, Shrimp Tempura and Kona Crab Cake rolls. They were excellent. We ate them at the sushi...

    Kona Cafe Sushi Bar

    I don't believe so, but we sat at the sushi bar and had sushi while waiting for our Kona table (no reservation). We had to pay separately for the sushi. 6 and 1/2 dozen...

    BLT Studio MK View or CR Tower MK View?

    Thanks everyone for your input. We've made the switch! CR Tower MK view it is!! We kept searching for room and pool photos and after looking at them for the past few days, we decided the CR's room size and overall look was the deciding factor (we thought the CR room looked more "deluxe" than...

    BLT Studio MK View or CR Tower MK View?

    We would love to have booked a 1BR, but there were none available. As it was, we snagged the last MK view studio (according to the CM). We were all excited because we booked BLT (since we've kicked around the idea to buy there), but I'm not so sure we would have picked CR as a first choice...

    BLT Studio MK View or CR Tower MK View?

    Given a choice, which would you prefer and why? We have a reservation for the studio already, but we can't decide if we want to change to CR. The main reason for us thinking of the switch is the room size (apparently the rooms are approx 100 sf bigger at CR). As you can see in our sig, it's...

    anyone at ssr now?

    Quick question regarding the quiet pools - do they provide pool towels like the main pools? We'll be there in 6 days and are trying to figure out how we could lighten our suitcases, but we want to make sure we have towels. Thanks!

    Driving from the Chicago area to WDW

    We've driven twice and both times I drove straight through, both times with DW taking over for a couple of hours for me to re-energize (I tried sleeping, but it never worked out). I'm a night owl to begin with, but what I do is sleep for 4-5 hours in the afternoon and we begin our trek around...

    So! Finally the answer to what "Are you 23?" means

    Try the IE Tab add-on for Firefox. It allows you to emulate Internet Explorer within Firefox. IE Tab also allows you to open a link in the actual IE application, separate from FF. It's pretty useful. If you bookmark a site, FF will also remember if you bookmarked it in IE Tab, and will use...

    replacing camcorder with DSLR

    Leaving it at home is not feasible. I may try to show my DD7 (soon 8) how to work the video camera. That could make for some interesting footage. Thanks for the idea! I had thought of this too, but I often wonder of the quality of the video. Not sure if it can replace a real video camera...

    replacing camcorder with DSLR

    So I'm up late at night skipping through my video from last year and noticed that there seemed to be long sections of Bibbidi, Wishes, Spectro - stuff that I could leave the camera running on a Gorillapod (with the mindset of editing out the lulls) - but not much else. I was busy shooting with...
