Look at all of you from the Debert Area!

I heard a rumour that Disney was coming out with a specific PIN for Debert residences ... jk

I didn't get that pin, but still managed to get my fd booked. Maybe your prediction helped!

Hi there fellow Atlantic Canadians. This is for those who have not blown away this week. Here on PEI the weather really has me thinking of Disney.

My question is for those that have stayed at one of the Universal Hotels and travelled to the airport. Does the hotel provide transfer to the airport like Disney or do you just cab it? Any tips would be helpful as we haven't been to universal, we've always (last 5 Decembers) stayed at Disney. We just ended up getting hooked on it and can't stay away. Thanks

Here in Halifax the weather has been positively dismal for the past, oh 3 weeks. We have had literally 2 and a half days of sun in total out of the last 3 weeks. It's horrible...and it's also been cool.

Anyway, I've stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel 3 times (I think ) and once we rented a car, but the other two times we used Mears. I'm pretty sure they have a website. I can't tell you the price though, because I was still young enough that my parents paid for everything, but the drivers were friendly and it didn't take long to get from the airport to the hotel. Hopefully this helps a bit!

I am also from PEI Looking to plan a trip to Disney for family of 4. I am told late August - September is a good time to go for free dining. Will you be flying out of PEI?

The free dining promotion for Aug-Sep is available now. I wouldn't wait too long to book it as once the rooms set aside for the promotion are gone, they are gone.

I booked it on the first day it was available and got just what I wanted. Good luck.

So after days of back and forth trying to make a decision, I booked flights. Leaving from Bangor to Orlando at a rate of $301 per person. The times are not great but I guess it's not a bad deal.

 

[Ted in Halifax]

M&M .... who is the flight with? Allegient?

It's with Delta. Leaving March 1, return March 14.

 

[Ted in Halifax]

I think $300 with Delta from Bangor is a fine deal ... plus you are landing in MCO not SFB!

Wow! Why didn't I find this thread until now? I feel like I'm at home
Hope it's ok that I jump on board. I'm Wendy from near enough to Sydney River, Cape Breton. My husband and I are planning our 3rd trip to the world for our first anniversary in October It will be my 5th time there. Besides being Disney nuts, we have two horses, two dogs, two cats and I breed tropical fish!

Welcome Home Wendy!

I'm from NB but I moved to Alberta a few years ago (for the work of course). It's nice to see so many people from Canada on the boards.

I have been reading this thread for the last 6 months and love the information. I want to thank those who posted in March/April of this year on the driving down. DW and I are thinking about doing it in August 2012 and I really appreciate the information on distance, routes, options etc. My question is the heat - I can see the stats and average temperatures but from a practical point of view, from people who live in Eastern Canada, how hot does it really get? We have done May before and I was down June one year without my wife but I was just wondering.

Any information would be helpful.

My boss and a close friend both (separately, lol!) went in August and said that it was no different than May or September. I've never been there in the summer, so this is just what I've heard.

Just saying HI from New Brunswick.

I could handle a little bit of their sun and heat about now, tired of dull, damp days.

We've done August once.....and never again. The combo of heat 95+ and humidity was very draining.

Sweating at the bus stop within 5 minutes, sunglasses fogging up as soon as we left the room in the morning, etc.

The water at the water parks and resort pools was just like warm bathwater - not overly refreshing at all.

We've had great weather when we went in April/May......it's our favourite time to go so far. We'll be trying end of Feb/early March next time - hoping for some decent weather then too - but it's really a crapshoot - as long as we're @ Disney we'll make the best of any weather we get - as it will be better than what we're getting here in Atlantic Canada during the same time
