The Dreaded Exchange Rate

[twinshockeymom]

We normally stay at Daytona Beach for a few days and get an Oceanfront Efficiency Unit. We drive down so we bring food and drink items with us. At Daytona we eat breakfast at the contenental breakfast then cook lunch and some suppers ourselves.

When we stay at WDW we eat all breakfasts in the room, we place ice in the sink and keep our milk and drinks in it. We also have my three sons wear waist packs with water bottles in the parks so when they are wanting a snack they can eat or drink what they have on them. The packs worked out great, they carried their own food so I was not carrying all of it and they were not bugging to buy drinks or food all the time. With the money that we saved we could go the themed restaurants around WDW.

These boards are the best to find out how others have saved money especially the at par deals - SW and US and the codes for WDW. Thanks everyone.

Tell me about it!! My mom obsesses about it!! We were supposed to go, cuz she found the $77 special at All Stars, but when I suggested the $99, she went on about how much it would be in Canadian, bla, bla bla......I could understand it if it were A LOT more, but $20.00 more a night isn't THAT much!!

Off my soap box now!!

Hi juniorbugman:

We are leaving the same day driving down. Do you stop overnight or keep going all the way through. We will stop. I am just worried about the border on a friday at 4.p.m. at fort erie, how long we will be.

Are you going down 75 or 79/77 95?

Deb.

Try Niagara Falls..... The Rainbow Bridge should be much less crowded.

We pretty much say "the heck with it as well." But I also have a US bank account which allows me to save and withdraw my money in US funds. Then when trip time comes around I don't have to worry about the exchange rate-only what I've managed to save.
