    Got a pin,But doesn't add up...

    I got the exact same pin and while I have not called to confirm prices this is what I got when I went to the website and attempted to compare apples to apples (in order to look at their prices). I sometimes know how the Dis works on advertising these deals as ds worked there- OK here is the...

    Legitimate work at home or part time jobs for moms?

    I'm not the OP of the idea but I see advertisements for this service in my area quite often. Seems it is an online service to connect those willing to do laundry/iron with those needing the service. Try researching here: www.mylaundryonline.com

    What is the earliest you can check in?

    What is your arrival date? Tripres.com has a room for $10+2.65 taxes Dec. 29 at the Days Inn Kissimmee. We checked in one year at 5 a.m. The parks official opening time was 8 a.m It really wasn't that much time to kill. We couldn't get a room until after 11 am. so we got a quick bite to...

    Preferred or not at Pop?

    April 2006 we had a preferred POP room and with more than 15 stays on Disney property it was the only time I actually went and complained about a room and asked to be moved. We had neighbors on both sides that we were able to hear EVERYTHING they did. Screaming children, screaming parents...

    Recommended Non-Chain Restaurants on 192??

    We like Cafe D'Antonio in Celebration for Italian. The pizza (as well as everything else!) is great and they have always really catered to my finicky kids. Its rare for my large family as well as all of our traveling guests to agree (one sad reason we stick mostly with chain restaurants) but...

    Off site assistance and encouragement

    I had to look to see where you are from and noticed we probably live in very similiarly priced areas-I'm in KY. While ds was living there (not quite 2 yrs ago) we often discussed the similiarity of prices in groceries and gas. While we were there in early Oct of this year, I found most...

    Palisades Hotel????

    This property is to the west of Disney property off of Hwy 192. Hwy 192 is the road leading into Kissimmee. This would be a quieter location than the areas located in Kissimmee (generally those to the east of the 192 and I-4 intersections). My guess is that from this location it would...

    Anyone use Hotwire?

    Posting to report that the Days Hotel Maingate that everyone is receiving on Hotwire is rated on "The Unofficial Guide Book" (my Disney/Orlando BIBLE) as a 2*. Out of a possible 100 points the rooms rate a score of 50. I probably would never stay in a room rated lower than a 65 by this book -I...

    Help for Aussie...who do I tip at the hotel?

    My ds was a cast member about 2 years ago. While he was not employed with mousekeeping two of his housemates were. I personally discussed the tipping policy with them at the time. It was "written policy" that they were to refuse tips. BUT they stated that not a single cm would turn away tips...

    Construction between Pooh and Toontown

    We were last in the parks in early April and I did not notice anything going on then but ds who is in the MK today just texted that there is construction behind Hundred Acre Wood and the link to Toontown. Does anyone know what the plans are? He is a former CM so will probably be able to give...

    Rumored Toy Story Mania! dates

    My son was a CM at AK that year. They opened EE for CM and guest only on Jan 20. Then at random times the next week they started doing unannounced soft openings for guest for an hour or so at a time. Within two weeks or so it was pretty much running an ongoing soft opening that made the ride...

    Disney's Pop Century Resort in Orlando $29+tax per night , based on 5 night stay!

    It seems that Orbitz has updated their website to make the Pop ineligible for the discount code. Thst's what I get for waiting to pull the trigger!

    OT Does anyone know of specific location distances from DW park landmarks?

    Yes, Herbie that is basically what we are doing. My son is making a theodolite (sp?). I've never been involved in any surveying before but dh holds a few engineering degrees so I'm sure he can help us out more when he can get away from the office, I'm just trying to get any preliminary legwork...

    OT Does anyone know of specific location distances from DW park landmarks?

    I'm looking it over now CanadianGuy, Thanks. I will need the measurement from the point in which we take a photo so I doubt I should trust finding the distance upon return but if I don't get it all locked in before we leave I might just try. Editing to say that I think I've learned to use...

    OT Does anyone know of specific location distances from DW park landmarks?

    I will take a look at the earth look thing. I've never gave the sight more than a quick look and have never tried using it as a true resource. I do think the pedometer is a great idea though as generally the distances I need is only several yards! THANKS!:cool1:

    OT Does anyone know of specific location distances from DW park landmarks?

    I posted this over at the families board but thought I might have better luck at a quick response here: We arrive at the parks this Sat. afternoon so I suppose there is nothing like the last minute to try and put together a plan like this- DS age 10 will be our only child on this trip (we...

    Does anyone know of specific location distances from DW park landmarks?

    We arrive at the parks this Sat. afternoon so I suppose there is nothing like the last minute to try and put together a plan like this- DS age 10 will be our only child on this trip (we have 4 boys) so for once I think I might could actually spare some time towards doing something more than...
