Thank you all! I will request extra room cards when I get there.

Hi, We are heading to WDW this Friday. We're staying at SSR with a 2BR and a STD. Can the people in the studio also have magic band access to the 2BR (which will have all the food)? If so, How would I do that?

We just spent a wonderful week at Aulani. We hiked everyday (diamond head, waterfall, bird preserve etc.) We love the beach, but can't sit on it (or at the pool) for 4 hours a day. What activities are there to do outside Vero beach? (Golf and shopping don't count :) Looking for walks...

I love my smartwool ultra light crew socks, but they are so expensive (about $17 a pair). I can wear them to work with slacks and loafers or dressy boots. They are not the thick bulky ones you would wear out in the snow, they are pretty thin. Are there other brands that are just as good...

Hi, I'm trying to reserve a 2bedroom for my family and a studio for my Sisters family at HHR for Easter week. On Saturday I called and had to wait list Mon & Tuesday. Member Services told me I needed to wait until today (Monday) to book the rest of the trip. On line this morning, I...

One thing I try and remember for the summer is that almost *anything* that I make for dinner is going to be cheaper and healthier than take out. So if I need to buy pre-cut veggies, it's ok. and if I end up serving turkey keilbasa with pretzels and grapes (not my best meal), it is still...

We are also from NJ. I absolutely HATE the NYC subway system. It is dirty, loud and confusing. The DC Metro system is nothing like that. It is clean (no open food or drinks), quiet (music only through headphones) and has very clear instructions. We drive to the Greenbelt Station and...

Watching TV is not a behavior that we want to encourage. They can hang in their rooms and sleep, read, text, play on their lap tops, etc Our kids do not have TVs (or mini-fridges) in their bedrooms. We want them to have to come out and social with the family occasionally. I also think kids...

I also looked for accreditation. For us creativity was much more important in a preschool than academics. I could immediately cross off any school that had art work that all looked similar. Any teacher that would tell my child that they had to make there craft project the "correct" way...

The description for the Budget Board says "Learn the 'in and outs' of smart earning, saving, and spending your money. Our motto: 'Any dollar saved or earned is another dollar for Disney!'" So when someone wants to ask about doing their own nails or what do to with the chicken that they...

Two of my teenagers (17 & 16) have iphones. We bought them the phones for Christmas or birthday and pay there own data plans. Other DS16 has a "dumb phone" because he would rather spend his money hanging out the GF then on data. I can not imagine a day without my iphone. I use it for...

DD will be taking out some loans for College. She "qualifies" for an unsubsidized Stafford loan of $5500. Is there a good reason to take this partial loan vs. taking the whole thing from our bank or NJClass? The interest rates seem about the same. I'm just trying to see if we are missing...

Family time is a priority for us. Vacations, field trips etc. The kids grow up (and get busy) very quickly. We pay the necessities, have retirement accounts etc. But the couches have slip covers and the kitchen and some bathrooms need to be renovated. That can all wait. We took part of...

I tutor math at our local Community College and I see so many kids that are there because "their parents are making them go". Some kids are NOT college material and some kids just aren't ready for college yet. I don't think that parents should force their kids to go to college, because it is...

OP here They gave her another 13K! We do not qualify for any need based aid. We (DH and I) wrote a letter saying that we have 5 kids and could not afford to send her to a 60K a year school. If she did it, she would have to take out loans. My DD wrote a letter stating all the reasons she...

This makes me sad every time I see someone write it. We have 5 children and not only is it financially difficult, it is also logistically difficult to get away as often as we would like. Some of my kids have gone away with friends over the years and it has been a wonderful experience for...

Does HHI sell food staples like the WDW DVCs? We plan on bringing most food, but curious if we could just pick up some milk on the day we arrive and then go food shopping the next day.

Congratulations! That is wonderful. I'm sure you are very proud of her! BTW, my daughter wants to go into Bioinformatics - which is (in my dumbed down thinking) the computer modeling of genetics. At Drexel it is a Biomedical Engineering Degree. At other schools (GWU, Stevens, Northeastern...

To be honest, I'm not sure what I'm asking for. We met with a FA counselor because I had questions about whether DDs aid would go up when I had 3 in school in 2 years (She said significantly). Then she TOLD me that I should appeal the decision. Since this school is a FAFSA school and not a CSS...
