. We happened to be in our local Giant Tiger discount store, and there was a big Banana Boat display in their seasonal section. Got the second last bottle. Bring on the sunshine ...... we are ready!!! 
Another vote for flying for that length of a trip. If you have a couple of weeks to work with, then a road trip can be a lot of fun and not cut in to the prime of your vacation time. But for a shorter trip, its nice to get there and enjoy as much time at your destination as possible.
The fly vs. drive calculator was rather interesting. I ran our dates and put in our family-specific data, and the costs came out within $50 of each other. I have always told people (those well meaning folks who always preach about the savings of driving) that its just as cheap for us to fly out of Syracuse vs. drive, and now I have the proof
On a totally unrelated note, I found my SPF 100 sunscreen yesterday
to our thread!! Happy to have you along!

Hey! We'll be checking into AKL on the 2nd!. And hey, love the username. I'm an English teacher and so therefore, a definite bookworm and library geek. ;-)

So....some folks kind of touched on this in the budget QOTD a week or so back, but let's make this an official QOTD all on its own:
Do you have a pet (or pets) that require care during your trip?
Do you board them, have a neighbour watch over them, or take them to you parents house to be "babysat"?
Does it cost you anything, and if so, how much?
Do they care if you are gone (and are mad as heck when you get home?) or do they thoroughly enjoy the temporary accommodations with the kennel/dog-sitter/grandma/neighbour?
And if you are willing.....please post a pic so we can all admire your fur-baby (or I also suppose that could be a feather baby for those with birds
) while at our house. So they usually share for an hour or two each day playing video games, which is nice because then the cats get some cuddle time in too 
) so that's never been a huge issue. DH and DS have yet to starve . For that substantial of a price difference, I would do the extra drive in a heartbeat.
I'm a few days late but still wanted to share! We have two cats that are pretty rambunctious - Merlin and Samwise, who are each about a year old now. My brother-in-law or one of our friends usually comes over once a day to feed them, scoop poop, and play with them a bit. We don't pay them or anything but we encourage them to use our video game systems (DH and his friends are nerds
Here's Samwise, doing what I call his "modeling" pose:]
And here's Merlin, back around Christmas time
We never fly anywhere, but for kicks, I tried the calculator. It said it would cost us $200 to drive (which is true) and $1000 to fly. Made me feel better about taking the time to drive instead of fly!
Thanks for posting! The offer is a little odd, and it looks like MouseSavers has already edited some of the information, but I'll be glad to have something. Looking forward to playing with quotes on Disney's website on Thursday!
