Does anyone know what type of change and how much I will need for the unmanned toll boths on the way to GKTW?

It says to have $2.00 in change, but not sure if I need quarters, dimes??

Can anyone help me out this this! Thanks!

Also anyone who has been recently, can you tell me if there were any pots or pans in the villa? We need to boil Hayley's nebulizers after her breathing treatments for about 10 minutes in a pan on the stove top.

I just called GKTW and they said there should be pots and pans, but I would feel better if someone on here had actually seen them in the villas. Thanks!

You will need $2.00 in quarters, $.75 for one toll and $1.25 for the other toll. And yes the villa has pots and pans. They have everything you will nee to make a meal they even have a toaster and blender.

Anyone that has already been to GKTW.....can you tell me if lunch is included in the "Package"

Our Wish Granter said she didnt think so....but our packet from GKTW listed the time and place that lunch was available. Either way were good, but would like to know before I get there.

TIA

Yes lunch is included the package.

The unmanned booth is $.75, so 3 quarters. I didn't try dimes or anything so I'm not sure if that would work. The other toll booth has a person and I think it was $1.25. Just make sure you have at least 3 quarters for the unmanned one.

Yes, I did see a pot in the villa.

Lunch is included if you eat at the village. It's at Katies Kitchen. If you are at the park you are on your own. Your wish org. should hopefully give you enough $ to cover lunch at the parks.

All tolls I have seen are multiples of $0.25, so you will need quarters.

Also, the fastest way between GKTW and WDW is on the Osceola Parkway, which does have one toll plaza. I'm not sure, but I think it is $1.25 (I don't pay attention a I have a transponder). It allows you to skip almost all of 192 with all its lights.

I wish I knew. Are you sure you are hitting remember me after you sign in?.

If you have ones, you should be fine. The first toll is manned and is $1.25. The second toll is unmanned and .75. Use $2.00 at the first toll and then you will have correct change going back. At least this is true from the airport to GKTW.

Went to the ER last night, again.. Abby has now broken her thumb. They are not sure if it is 1 or 2 fractures in it, but it is now splinted like she broke her wrist or hand. However, I think the thumb hurts her just as bad as when she breaks her vertebrea or a long bone. The doctor gave her Roxicet for the pain, and just like every other pain medicine, it winds her up, instead of making her drowsey, except this one makes her mean too. Tomorrow we go to UVA to see a new OI specialist. Dr. Arlet for the spine, and Dr. Romness for the long bones. They said we will be doing a dexa scan, along with other testings and we actually might know exactly how many fractures she has had. I have lost count. I will update tomorrow after he appts.

How is everyone? Hope everything's okay. I'm hoping my family and I recieve some news this week.
Nothing today...

Where is everyone? It seems like ghost town over here!

We are leaving in 4 days!!!

I can hardly believe we are this close!!!

We got our expense check from MAW and I am wondering what others did? Did you take the cash or get traveler's checks? Are traveler's checks still fairly easy to use? I really hate dealing with them myself.

Do they have little safes in the villas at GKTW like they do in hotel rooms?

I would appreciate any additional last minute information anyone wants to throw in!!!

 

[Bearshouse]

How very exciting that you leave in 4 days!!!!! Have the best time ever.
