Mac-thanks for the advise!
I've been to universal several times, I've just never booked or been in charge of the hotel. Responsibilities of getting older I guess

I'm a property manager myself so I understand the 4PM in 11AM out times and we hold our tenants very strictly to this... I'm just... special, right?!

Oh and on the "checking out the room thing" I'm a pretty "laid back" person when it comes to actually getting to the vacation. I would have never in a million years even thought about complaining about those kinds of things. I'm the "make the best of it" kind of person... to an extent. I in no way deal with something that will ruin my vacation if I know it can be fixed, but I also don't let the small things bother me. ha, maybe it's because I'm so small myself.

you have to be 21 to book a room at universal hotels.
i'm assuming your bf is doing the booking and check in stuff.

He is, but I will be 21 at that point. He is 22 now, 23 when we check in.

Good morning homies

Morning. Spent the morning reading all about the Disney increases. I'm not sure what to think yet, besides thinking that Disney may not be an option very much longer for vacation. At least for a few years.

Paul and I have decided Disney isn't an option except in "special" occasions. We're doing MVMCP this December. We MAY do DHS in May for Star Wars weekend. And possibly MVMCP OR MNSCHP the next year. That's it til we graduate college and MK is finished.

We decided to buy annual passes for US instead and start a "business" of taking our friends and family with us to help pay for the hotels. Next year we will will probably renew for 170 bucks and continue to go to US.

It is getting quite expensive ... I couldn't imagine having to buy tickets for an entire family ... I'm so glad we have APs - the renewal rate is much cheaper than buying tix for our 2 trips each year - plus we don't have to worry about keeping track of how many days we've used or not being able to park hop. Heck if we each bought a 6 day ticket with park hopper for both trips, it would be $150 more than the AP.

I've been saying for years now that I'm gonna take a break from FL trips, and I'm thinking now is the time, lol. It makes since as well, since each year has gotten progressively bigger, and costlier. This will be the biggest, since I'm going for 9 nights, doing WDW and Uni. Heck I even have 2 non-park days scheduled and I never do that! Next 3 on my to-do list: Grand Canyon, California and go on a cruise (I've never been).

Cruises are fun but they are a like like themeparks in you need to know what you want to do, what crowds, types of people, and places you want to go. Timeof year is also a huge factor in types of crowds.. and by that Idont mean how many people I mean college vs. family

i started reading those threads when the info broke days back.
too many of them....but i did get caught up with them on the weekend.

lots of whining, i can get that from home and my parental units...

i had a 7 day hopper no expire from a year ago but can't find it.
i bought tickets again from UT.
5 day myw, no expire
7 day hopper, no expire
$847.....
i'm sure i will find my saved hopper pass and the 2 day basic tix on a hotel key soon.
when that happens, i'll have enough tickets to last me 3 years at the motherland.

i'll continue my annual pilgrimage to the big O.
when the prices go higher at disney, i'll spend more days at UO hotels.
i won't like the increasing disney will do in the future but i'll live with it and still go there.

i'm not giving my 16 days away to the family...
this is my solo time to relax and not be a responsible big person.


i do two, at least,

Heck if we each bought a 6 day ticket with park hopper for both trips, it would be $150 more than the AP.

i go solo so it is cheaper for me.
most go with a spouse or family and that gets expensive.
i can't imagine how that can be affordable.

i used to buy the disney AP but quit when i stopped going twice a year or staying less than 11 days on site in one trip.

i used to come out ahead with the ap but the past few years, well, since 2006, i didn't find it to my advantage. they changed the rate system to go with the flow of the other hotels in the states.

i used to be able to book on the last day of value season and have it continue to the day i checked out, keeping that same rate.

i'm sure many like the ap but if i bought it, i would not be using it for tickets enough to cover my costs.

a couple of my friends that i meet up with have the tiw.
that helps some, but i don't eat a full meal like they do at times.

DID I EVER TELL YOU GUYS TO REMEMBER TO TURN OFF THE OVEN?????

I don't even have enough time, space or energy to keep you all posted on what's happening>

Due to my job, I can only travel before or after the summer season. Which is good considering I try to do that any way lol.

Good morning all,

It is so HOT.... taking DS to the movies today to see Kungfu Panda, meeting up with one of his friends from school, then they are going swimming.

DD has a job interview, we'll see how that goes (first job ever)

MJ, sorry the oven situation is still going on, I would never have thought that would cause "that" much trouble, hope everything gets better soon.

ok, I have to start plannning some kind of trip, to cure my post trip blues, even if we don't end up going, it still helps.

Have a wonderful day!

Due to my pickyness I can only travel before or after the summer season.

That's also good because you tend to get 1) less kids and 2) less drunk people. Mostly "older" people in off season. I personally love hurricane season. Rates are cheap and people are scaredy cats. Plus, if you get stuck too long you get a free cruise or free something.

lol, I'm picky too, which is why I traveled in the off-season the past few years. I got spoiled being able to ride the Mummy 10 times in a row with no wait.
