    Why do people take on so much debt?

    In 1985 I payed $35,000 for my first house, a 2 bedroom that sits on 10 acres. I was 19 at the time and still own the property.

    Club Level - Universal or Disney

    Club Level is hands down better at Universal than at Disney especially if your talking about value for the price paid. I have stayed at Disney CL at the BWI, both standard rooms and the deluxe rooms, AKL and the Grand Floridian Main building in both a theme park view and a 3 bedroom suite. We...

    Interesting that on our recent flight from Albany, NY to MCO they announced that family boarding would be children 12 and under and each child could have 2 adults board with them. Very happy that we had purchased EBCI and we had A seats.

    PORTOFINO BAY HOTEL INFO...FAQ`s and more.......

    I know there was some discussion about construction at the hotel. We were in a ground floor 2 bedroom suite on the West side overlooking the bay. They had some scrims up on the building over on the East side but other than that we didn't notice or hear anything. If you have any problem at all...

    PORTOFINO BAY HOTEL INFO...FAQ`s and more.......

    Returned yesterday from a week long trip staying at Portofino Bay in a two bedroom suite with a Club level add on. The suites do not allow you to book with a CL add on and I had heard conflicting reports of how to add the CL to our stay. What I did was call the concierge number for the Loews...

    Just want to answer a question that has been asked about the wanna get away fares and the early bird check in. I purchased my tickets a few months ago when Southwest had their 50% 0ff sale and purchased the Wanna Get Away tickets and the EBC. Our flight is sold out and I just checked in and...

    Universal is offering some pretty good discounts right now at PBR from 11/26-12/21 if you stay 4 nights or more. Maybe a nice last minute Christmas trip?

    what is the worst thing your home has ever survived?

    My mother-in-law driving my car into my house when she hit the gas instead of the brake! They built houses well back in the 1800's as the whole house shook but held up pretty well. My car did not survive. The insurance companies had a field day with everything. I can laugh now.

    Holiday Splurges? (Not Upcharge Events)

    Can you explain how Universal does the tree scavenger hunt? We will be there in a couple of weeks and are looking for different things to do and I have never heard of this.

    "Official" 2023 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party - Yuletide Joy

    My family spent one memorable night at the Grand Floridian watching them put up the tree and decorations. We were staying in the Royal Palm CL which is in the main building and one of the cast members clued us in that the tree would be going up that night. It was so much fun watching it all...

That's nearly $200 more than our Seasonal AP at Universal. We have comped Disney tickets that are good until...

    When does the Grinch breakfast start?

    I think the first day there was a glitch in the booking system. Many reservations were not showing any dates or times on the confirmation so you had to call in to get that fixed. I think your fine if you have a date and time on your email.

    Thank you for the update. In less than a month we will be staying in a 2 bedroom suite at PBR and your experience has me a little concerned. I have no idea were the suites are in comparison to the construction, but as we will be there for over a week I really hope that's not what we will be...
