    wwyd, car repo and items thrown away

    My mother passed away a couple months ago. She did not have a will, however at the hospital she did give her car to my youngest son who is 17. My brother was working with the company trying to get the payments figured out. I thought he was taking care of it but later found out he was not. Well...

    Do you ever really want to try the snazzy, ritzy dining experiences but....

    Actually the OP indicated in every post including the original that her son DOES have manners. She never indicated that he didn't. The thing she indicated is that her son doesn't dress up which in no way equates to not having manners. OP I agree with others here, take your GD to the tea and...

    Bag to carry at WDW

    Have never used the cooling towels at Disney as we've never gone at a overly hot time of year. However we have used them at home and feel they help. We have mission towels.

    Just back - room check info

    Agreed. Years ago I worked front desk at a large chain hotel. They were doing room checks at that time as well so nothing new. We had many guests that were in town for work and would stay weeks at a time. They would request no housekeeping and the rooms were always checked on a regular basis. At...

    A Question Before I Complain ... But I Might Anyway!

    Yes they are making more than the FL minimum, they are also making more than the federal minimum. That certainly doesn't mean that the minimum is a fair wage or even a livable wage. Generally speaking the better an employee is paid, the better they will perform their job. It's not right that the...

    A Question Before I Complain ... But I Might Anyway!

    Yes I realize that however I still think that isn't much considering the work they do. They are making 2.50 less than minimum wage here. I'm not dismissing the OP's issues. She deserved to have reliable and proper housekeeping and obviously didn't receive that. I do think she should have said...

    A Question Before I Complain ... But I Might Anyway!

    That certainly makes more sense. So the 17 per hour was her final pay after working for years, not the starting rate which according to Disney is 10.50. Thank you for clarifying that.

    A Question Before I Complain ... But I Might Anyway!

    Agreed and I don't mean any disrespect either. Just very curious where he is coming up with the 17 from since that is different than what Disney career site says. For 17 and hour I'd think they'd have more than enough applicants lining up for a job.

    A Question Before I Complain ... But I Might Anyway!

    Can I ask where you are getting that information from? According to Disney careers the starting rate is 10.50 per hour not 17, and the sign on bonus is 1,250 not 1,750. That was information from jobs posted just a week ago so it's hard to believe that starting rate went up 6.50 in just a week.

    A Question Before I Complain ... But I Might Anyway!

    According to the Disney careers site from jobs posted last week the starting rate is 10.50 per hour, with a 1,250 sign on bonus

    A Question Before I Complain ... But I Might Anyway!

    I completely agree. Some things can wait and taken care of once home but housekeeping should have been addressed while there. I agree that higher pay might improve the turnover rate. However I think it goes beyond Disney as many companies under pay employees.

    Opinions on moderates

    That depends on what your teen would be interested in. For our family the pool is important for the kids so we'd choose either CSR or CBR. My boys would prefer CSR as the first choice, but again that is just my family and everyone is different.

    Decisions decisions

    We've never stayed at either resort so no help with recommendations. However the OKW 2 bedroom is 1395 Sq feet while the SS Tree house is 1074 sq feet. So the 2bedroom is definitely the larger in sq footage of the two.

    AK Dining for Non-Adventurous Eaters

    Haven't eaten at Jiko, but I think you can find something to eat at any of the others. Are you against trying new things? If not then I would suggest going to Boma where you can get a combination of both on the buffet. That way you can sample some things that you and your sister might find you...

    Help me pick my Disney hotel

    I'd go with CBR since that's where your leaning anyway. We've stayed there once and loved it there and never had an issue with too much walking. I expect to walk when going to Disney also, so wouldn't let that deter me from any resort. Another thing to consider, you mention the negative...

    What Resorts Do You Refuse to Stay At?

    The only place I wouldn't stay would be FW in a tent/pop up site. We enjoy camping but only in an rv or cabin. I would prefer not to stay at the values, but would if we needed to. With the refurb at POP I would consider there first. Also due to allergies we would avoid the resorts that are now...

    Babysitting... Price increase/schedule conversation has not come up... should I just wait and see?

    I guess now I can say it bothers me when people don't read carefully as well. I never once said that a licensed in home provider was better than either an unlicensed provider or a center. I did point out some additions to the regulations of being licensed vs unlicensed. I also did talk about...

    Babysitting... Price increase/schedule conversation has not come up... should I just wait and see?

    Obviously those weren't your words, but what other reason could you have for saying there was 0% chance of leaving your child with an unlicensed provider? If you didn't intend it the way i and at least one other assumed then what could your reasoning be for not leaving them with someone...
