    DCP and parents

    I appreciate the feedback and have read some of your posts in my research but being a parent versus being a member are two different things and I was looking for more of a parents perspective of what they experienced. As far as worrying about my child's well being, well we won't go there. Maybe...

    DCP and parents

    I'm looking for any info that parents may have been surprised with, working conditions, how Disney deals with roommate issues, tax issues, college issues, anything that could help a parent who has a college student who has been through this program and the tricks or tips. Its a big change and a...

    Our April trip "plan"

    Day Two, Animal Kingdom Normally Magic Kingdom is my must do first park to visit, but we've already broken that tradition by going to Epcot so lets keep the new ways going. We all head to AK for our first full day. Everyone goes on Everest. It is funny as can be. My mom is a riot and everyone...

    Our April trip "plan"

    Sorry again for the lack of updates, life gets crazy I got a call from Amtrak last night and called them back today. After 2 tries I finally got through but ended up being on hold for almost an hour over both calls. I finally spoke to a human and guess what????? $1,000 travel...

    Our April trip "plan"

    Tour of Fire, Day Three The rest of our ride to Orlando is very uneventful compared to the early morning activities we had to endure. That is if you don't count getting hit by a wall of foul odors emanating from our car every time I walk back into the car from the lounge or café. No AC or...

    Our April trip "plan"

    Tour of Fire, Day Three about 2 a.m. in the middle of nowhere aka north of Columbia S.C. I wake up and the train is not moving much, people are talking and looking out the windows. I look out to my right, I see a small town crossing that is pretty dark, to my left I notice the windows are...

    Our April trip "plan"

    Tour of Fire, Day Two Riding Coach We've sat down, the train has loaded up, and its crowded, and we have a young family of variety of aged people, including a very young baby. The Conductor comes around looking for tickets, and I can't find mine. I start tearing things apart looking for it...

    Our April trip "plan"

    Tour of Fire, Day Two Penn Station So Penn Station is nothing what I think it is, we get off the train and nothing looks like the maps and pictures I looked at before we left. On top of that I can't find one sign pointing us in the right direction. We end up picking up two other families who...

    Our April trip "plan"

    Tour of Fire, Day Two Boston to New York We get up early, meet our taxi at 5:15 a.m. and head to South Station. The cabbie is a decent young guy from Morocco who chats us up and we have a nice drive into the city. He drops us off at the station, which I would have had a hard time finding...

    Our April trip "plan"

    Tour of Fire, Day One We picked up my son on Tuesday because the excitement of going was making him sick at school and my girlfriend had Wednesday off and could watch him while I went into work for a couple hours. The 18 yo daughter stayed home also. I got home around noon and we were packed...

    April trip with entire family & first train ride

    Major brain cramp, which is not like me when it comes to these planning things. When I made the reservation for the hotel and shuttle to the train/airport, I never checked what time the subway runs. Our train leaves at 6:05 a.m. and the subway doesn't get to South Station until 6:01 a.m. too...
