    Sailing out of Miami....

    We will be sailing out of Port of Miami in a few weeks. Due to our ‘relative’ closeness to the Port (we live in Celebration), we are going to rent a car, drive down and drop it off to the absolute closest port to the port and Uber/lyft to the ships. Has anyone else had experience with this...

    Doing Rhine River next summer. Questions about pre an post cruise travel

    We are in a similar situation. Flying into Basel (July 2nd cruise), but we have decided to go to Paris from Amsterdam. Haven't decided on the train vs. plane route yet, but we are going to get our Disneyland Paris "check in the block" and spend 4 days there. There is a nice "buy 2, get 1/2/3...

    Anyone live in Winter Garden- advice?

    My DD & SIL live there. They really enjoy it. They actually live just a bit to the west of the main town center. In a subdivision on Avalon Rd. Good schools system. Convenient to shopping. Publix (awesomest grocery chain ever.) is literally two minutes away. It's not overgrown and really...

    Talk to me about GLAMPING!

    My wife and I just returned from the Montana ABD last week. We were the only childless family there. Our glamping tent was for two (duh). King sized bed. Couple of chairs, tables, dressers etc. so I am guessing we probably had the smallest accommodations there. Bathroom in one word -->...

    How many of you also compete in Triathlons.

    I average about 1 Tri a year. I've gotten as long as 1/2 IM, and may go that long again, but due to spinal issues it is exceedingly uncomfortable to be over the aero bars for more than about 90 minutes. Sprints are too short for me, so that leaves Olympics as my distance of (all that's left)...

    Monorail Operating Costs and Reliability

    Actually, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day, trams WERE used for transport from the TTC to the MK. My 1st visit in May '72 (ugh. I. Am. Old.) I rode one. Under the water, past the CR and was kicked off where the buses stop now.

    How many points do most people have?

    Started with 170 OKW waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 1997. Have added on here & there. And here. And there. And there. Anywhere from 25 pts to 100. Now up to 600 total. We now own a house in Celebration, so hardly ever spend them at WDW any more. Using them for GC & DL Hotel in 10 days for...

    Space Coast worth travelling for?

    Done this one twice. Since I have residences nearby, I can't comment on the "Value" aspect regarding long distance travel, but I DO enjoy the event. It just hasn't fit my schedule for the last couple of years, but maybe this year........... I have not done the expo at all. They have always...

    May 24, 2014 Alaskan 9 night Wonder

    Yes, I got a message which looks like it was intended for my TA (which is doubly curious because we booked the trip through DVC) stating a departure from Ballantyne and return to Canada Place. Minor bummer............
