    T-Mobile anyone?

    I have a Samsung Dart, $30 no contract 1500 talk & text, 30MB data. Terrible for heavy users but! if you dont move around a lot and have wifi available you can use you wont use up the data portion of the plan. 1500 combined is plenty for me for talk and text.

    A question for the Budget Board

    Its been awhile since I've been on the disboards. I used to be here a lot but financial circumstances made Disney an unreasonable choice. I thought I'd start factoring in Disney again but knew I'd need suggestions from the budget board to help me along. A quick glance at the board told me there...

    2 trips=get no exp tix or not??

    You didn't specify the lengths of your trips or if you will be doing trips in the future. For me a water park day fully replaces a park day along with doing something other than going into a Disney park. I would probably get the 10 day, no exp, wp pass expecting to have some time left for a...

    Car vs. Bus - opinions based on our plans

    Even though I use a car to get there I usually use both Disney & car. If I know I'm taking a break like you are doing a car works ever so much better. And as to your evening question...a car is great if you come back to a park just around dinner time because so many of the early park goers have...

    How is buying a timeshare EVER a good idea?

    The short explanation is if you pay for deluxe accomodations in Disney parks DVC can easily be a value for you. I sold my DVC at a profit (...more than I paid for it). While I had it I manipulated the heck out of it (avoiding weekends, doing studios, the occasional rental) so I came out quite...

    Can someone truly be this innocent/clueless??

    I'm not surprised. If her parents took/take care of things for her there is no reason she has to know. There are certain things you just don't know if you don't see them. Rain checks would be one of these. I've never asked for one. I know what they are because my mother asked for them when I was...

    Best Place to buy decent but budget sheets?

    Any Macy's or Dillard's? Macy's has been running discount coupons in the paper...and they may be available online. We've had them in so many papers I haven't bothered to look. If not I'd probably try Penney's first.

    Disney ticket price increase?

    How much higher can they go? I bought non-expiring tickets some time back so I lost track of the price. I was hoping to go on a spur of the moment and was shocked by the prices. I don't need tickets but my sister sure can't afford $250(ish). When my hopper is done I'll have to think long and...

    Best Place to buy decent but budget sheets?

    I would try the clearance bins at major department stores. You can get better quality sheets at cheaper prices than Walmart. Another option is Tuesday Morning, Marshalls, Ross and so forth. The 500 thread count is in and of itself meaningless if the thread itself isn't a good quality. I would...

    For those of you with experience applying/working for US Census...

    I wasn't going to bother replying because the census is over but this one struck me. I'm sure my people thought I was a blankety blank trainer for letting a woman stay in the class despite being ill. However unemployment is quite high in my neck of the woods. If I had released her she would have...

    This is a rather convincing endorsement...survival of the fittest.

    Pop up Canopy Help

    I purchased a hanging tent from walmart to go with my Quikshade. On the test setup I learned the 10X10 Quikshade was actually 8X8. Me & Sis took it for a test run this weekend using crocodile clips to take up the slack at the top. Clips worked great, nice roomy interior. Only problem with the...

    Universe of Energy with Phineas and Ferb?

    I'd love it if they went back to the old Energy intro show. The bass was outstanding. And yes redo the final movie and incorporate the Deepwater Horizon in it. As a disaster it'll be around for a while. I don't know what you could do to update energy sources...except maybe to show current...

    McDonald’s at Downtown Disney is Closing 4-30-10

    It always irked me that it was there. Yes I did order once or twice but I'd have been much happier with something like Pollo Campero. As for kids they should eat what is given to them or not eat at all.

    Dental ? getting 2nd opinion 4 DD11 cavities

    You might want to look at how your plan will handle out of network dentists and see if you want to pay the difference to keep going to your old dentist. You can also ask if the old dentist would be willing to enter the plan that you have available which would solve all your problems. I've...

    Disney Announces New Premier Passport

    If there is a fixed upgrade fee for PAP tickets that would be the DVC discount. I almost suspect that's who this is directed at although near-Florida residents like myself would also be likely targets. Orlando is only 7 hours from Atlanta yet we get no love from Disney.

    Do You remember the EPCOT parade?

    Tapestry of Nations was just Fantabulous! Tapestry of Dreams not quite as good. It may have been a logistical nightmare but it had a uniqueness and quality that epitomizes what I expect of WDW. I keep waiting for them to execute something of similar magnitude and now I know it won't be happening.

    Port Orleans Riverside food court question

    POR food court is outstanding for breakfast. Plenty of places to sit, nice views, plenty of options. Whats even better about POR is that if you want something else you can catch the boat to DTD in the evening. POR/FQ is one of my favorite resorts in the best of all worlds sense. You have most of...

    Buying over Renting??

    Some posters have presented the issue of forking over large sums of money on the rental. But is it that different from renting any other non-hotel accomodation? Such as a cabin, cottage on the beach, chalet at a ski resort? The key is establishing a level of trust on both sides. Right now I...

    High Speed Rail To WDW Approved

    I'm not quite sure what the point of a line from OIA to Ybor City is unless there will be some type of connector to the airport and Busch Gardens or the beach. A conventional rail from Atlanta to Miami through either Tampa or Orlando would be better. There are a bunch of tourists sitting in...
