They should be expelled.

DH and I travelled an hour to some friends' engagement party that started at 5.30pm, so right over meal time. Engagement parties are generally a big deal here - presents, lots of food (usually a big buffet or a sit down meal) etc. All I can say is, a few bowls of potato chips, and a couple of...

1. My video camera fell out of my jacket on a bus trip from NYC to Washington DC. I noticed this about five minutes after sitting down. It took a while, but I did find it when another passenger held it up when I went up and down the bus asking if anyone had seen it. I still wonder whether...

We were there on 3 and 4 January this year. Most rides were walk on, or only 5-10 minute wait. The park wasn't empty, but it wasn't full either, if that makes any sense.

I haven't stayed at the Explorer (mainly because it didn't exist when I went :rotfl2:), but my family did spend Christmas 2013 at the Disneyland Hotel. It was great! It was all beautifully decked out for Christmas, so I don't know what it's like normally, but our ocean view room was lovely and...

I tried to book tickets online for both the parks and the hotels in 2015, using both Mastercard and Visa debit cards. No matter what I did, the transactions wouldn't go through. In the end I missed out on being able to book any of the Disney hotels, but did book another great one nearby using...

My family is staying at the Hollywood Hotel at HKD in January. I've booked it through Expedia AU. Even though it's a prepaid in full rate, it's one of the few hotels (I've come across) that allows cancellation with a full refund before check in. So far I've cancelled and rebooked four times...

Returning to Hong Kong Disneyland in early January on our way back from Europe to Australia. We're staying onsite at their Hollywood Hotel. We spent Christmas 2013 at the Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel and it was fantastic, so I'm expecting our stay at the HH to be just as enjoyable. The way...

DH, DS and I visited Tokyo Disney for four days in October 2015. To our great surprise we only saw about 4 other westerners the entire time we were there. We probably won't return to Tokyo Disney (or at least not make a special trip to Japan just to visit DL) as it was just so crowded, with...

Things like this make me so glad that most schools where I live have uniforms. Everyone's on an even playing field, at least clothes wise.

Good Friday and Easter Monday are public holidays in Australia and New Zealand. Sometimes they fall in the school holidays, sometimes they don't. Either way, everything closes down on the Friday. A lot of shops will open on the Monday, but offices, schools etc are all still closed. NZ schools...

US Singapore was/is great! We went there in 2014, and I enjoyed it way more than US Los Angeles. It isn't a working studio (I don't think), like the LA version, but has heaps of rides for all age groups. The park itself is upstairs if arriving by taxi. We found the easiest way to get there...

We went in 2015 and I ended up booking through Expedia.com.au. This included both the hotel (Santa Fe) and park tickets together, which was actually cheaper than just booking the hotel on its own. (Weird, I know). I can't remember whether it included breakfast or not (maybe yes?), but when we...

My reply would be the same as it is for the bible or any other religious symbol. Completely inappropriate. It is NEVER okay to try and shove your religious beliefs on other people, no matter what religion it is. If a so-called friend of 40 years gave me a bible, or any other religious item, I'd...

I live in a country where most people where a protective swim top when swimming outside (it's even compulsory in some places). Most people, myself included, just wear our normal togs underneath (one piece or bikini) with the swimming shirt on top. Sometimes females wear board shorts or crop...

Use an umbrella and/or a raincoat/rain poncho and keep going.

That reminds me of my honeymoon. We had told the Flight Centre TA a million times (okay, about 60 times) that we were going on our honeymoon. Cue our amazement when we got to London and the hotel check in person told us our room with the single beds as per our travel agent's request was ready...

Thanks, Our Aussie six. :) After my helpful experience with the second VA agent, I did wonder if the first VA agent had been wrong and that we didn't need our Aussie TA to liaise at all. But with everything going on, I didn't go back and check. Nevertheless, unless a TA can get me an airfare...

I see you've already booked, but I just wanted to throw in my two cents anyway. :rotfl: I've only used a travel agent once in the last 14-15 years - and regretted it. The TA herself wasn't the problem, but the circumstances we found ourselves in were an annoyance. For our last US trip in 2014...

My parents had narrowed it down to four girls names. I don't know why they picked the one they did, but I'm glad they did as it's the least common of the four. It's still a perfectly normal name, and most people in the Commonwealth countries would've heard of it. It went out of fashion for a...
