    October 2015 PTR: a “Halloweenie” and her Fearless Companion conquer their first HHN!

    Sorry Gina, but I am with Dancin' on this one. I am not a big dessert person. But if I was really hungry for a dessert and had a pastry counter loaded with desserts, I would run to the carrot cake without hesitation. I do enjoy cheesecake as well but not chocolate or peanut butter. I prefer the...

    October 2015 PTR: a “Halloweenie” and her Fearless Companion conquer their first HHN!

    I agree with you on the car deals. I find I get the best deals at six weeks out although my only experience is the last two years. I am going to try priceline at the last minute this year and see if I can get the cost down. Gina..I seen Congo River has a groupon available this morning. Got...

    An extra benefit of staying off site - less stress?

    Last year we went to Disney for the first time. We stayed at Dolphin for 2 nights, Bonnet Creek for 7 nights and SVV for 6 nights. We are a family of five so are options are limited at onsite at Disney and when free dining wasn't offered at Port Orleans and listening to all the on-site vs...

    I just got caught up on your report. We did MNSSHP last year when we went. it was one of the highlights of our trip and I am considering surprising the kids by adding tickets again.

    Upgrading to universal AP

    I was wondering if anyone would have any direct knowledge or experience in upgrading to APs. I am looking at purchasing 4 day park to park tickets through work for 180.00 per ticket. These tickets would cost 214.99 in advance or 234.9 at the gate so there is a good savings. If we like the parks...

    Oh my lord that looks good. I'm drooling right now. I will definitely be visiting there a couple times while we are in Orlando. Hopefully I can get a couple of those travelzoo discounts.

    What meals do you cook off-site?

    We stayed at SVV last year. They do have bbqs. We went to Costco last year. We bought a big pack of boneless skinless chicken Breast, a big pack of Ribs and a large spiral Ham. We were at parks half of the days and at the Resort the other half. The ham was convenient as we ate it for 2 days as...
