TIP's are just that a TIP not part of a server wage. If one received good service and food then a TIP should be left for the server (who then splits that with the back of the house staff and the bar staff). It isn't the responsibilty of the patrons going out to eat to pay the wages of...

I don't understand how people seem to think 20.0% is what should pe paid for a tip. My daughter has worked for a few years as a server at Earls and she averages 12 - 15% in tips at the restaurants she has worked in and she makes more that most of the other people that she works with because of...

A 11.8 mile expantion of our Skytrain system in Vancouver was just completed in time for the 2010 Winter Olympics. It has 16 stations and cost 1.9 Billion dollars to biuld. Our system is a little larger than the one in Orlando, but even given that 100 million per mile is about the right figure...

I have stayed a CBR once and Pop Century 7 times (any guess which one I prefer). I don't understand the comment above about the bus system, CBR has shuttle buses on property it is so big while Pop Century has one bus stop and the slowest walker can be at the stop in ten minutes from their room...

I was able to purchase this on Friday at the local Toys R Us (they had three on the shelf when I went in Friday and they where all gone on Saturday when I was back in the store). The game is really good other that then shaking of the Wii remote for no reason other that to shake the remote, but...

I can call on June 26 (my birthday) and yhis time we have Deluxe Dining for 10 nights. I will be up at 3:50am so that I can be on the phone as the lines open at 4:00am Pacific Coast Time. I hope to get everything on my wish list Thursday Sept. 24, 2009 / Arrival Day / Pop Century Food Court...

I have been for the last four years during the last or second last week of September and other that having one arriving flight delayed as it was supposed to be routed through Houston (which was shut down) and we had to wait for an alternate flight into Chicago and then carry onto Orlando the...

I would say Free Deluxe Dining and AP Room Only Discount Rate. I can't imagine any deal that would save me more money than that, well come to think of it it would cost me more money as I would double or triple the stay of our September trip from 10 nights to 20 or more.

I checked the rates on the Disney World web site this morning and found that the same 10 night trip with Deluxe Dining @ the Pop Century with a one day base ticket for my wife and son and myself went down. I was able to call and have the price changed from $1948.87 to $1896.91, so I just saved...

I booked the bounce-back when I was down last September for our trip this September. I had no notice in our room so because I follow this website I knew that the offer was out, so I went to the front desk and asked them for a copy. I have since increased it from 6 days to 10 and upgraded from...

I spent 20 minutes on the phone today with them and even though it says FREE SHIPPING they will charge $50.00 USD to ship to Canada. What a Rip Off one envelope costs well under $15.00 to mail to Canada next day with FedEx and UPS but they want $50.00, to add insult they won't ship to a PO...

I was able to book 10 nights with free dining staying at the Pop Century with a one day Park Pass for my family (2 Adults and one 4 year old) from Sept. 24 - Oct. 4 on a bounce back promotion last September. After upgrading to Deluxe Dining it is just under $2000.00 for the 10 nights. We have...
