We have done the trip 4 times from the Chicagoland area. We found that going as far as you can the first day is always best. Stopping just north of Atlanta the first night. Around 10.5 hours. Then the next day it is only an 8 hour drive or so to Orlando. Plus we miss the morning rush in...

I don't understand why a majority of people feel they can't enjoy both parks. My wife and I love Universal and Disney. We always dedicate 2 days to Universal evey year we go. Every park has something to offer that we really enjoy. You don't have the "pixie dust" you see at Disney at...

So glad you finally got yours. Have a great time when you go!

OK....I have it in front of me and I will describe it to you all. It's about 5" x 7" in size. Blue in color. It reads "Get A Superhuman Welcome" on the front with the Universal Orlando resort logo right in the middle. On the reverse side the mailing address is to the right and on the left it...

FYI....The free ticket voucher did not come in an envelope. It looks like a post card type of advertisement for Universal. I wouldn't want anyone to get it confused with junk mail or something.

Just got mine today!!! YES!!! This will definately save us some money this year.:sohappy:

Thank you all so much! Looks like I have to start working on a Halloween costume. We are really looking forward to a great time!:sohappy:

Hello friends.... The wife and I and another couple are planning on attending our first MNSSHP this October. The wife and I are really looking forward to it. Our friends are too. They want to dress up and even go trick-or-treating in the park. My wife thinks this would be fun and wants to...

Hi William.... Yes, Vistana Villages does provide a free shuttle to the parks. However, they do not run like the Disney Shuttles. Last we were there (October 2006), they had 3 leaving at different times in the morning and 3 running in the evening back to the resort. I am sure the times and...

I would like to share my story about Paul Harvey with all of you. Growing up in Chicago, I would always hear "The Rest of the Story" on my fathers radio tuned to WGN. Even at a very young age, I was fascinated with the sound of this mans voice. Back in 1989, I worked at a Blockbuster Video in...

The Vistana Villages (on International Drive South) is newer than the original Vistana. Vistana Villages are very, very nice. From the suite ammenities to the pool areas. Gorgeous. The only negative would be a lack of restaurants on property. However, there are many chain restaurants nearby...

Stay away from the Royal Parc Suites. An absolute nightmare for us. We checked in....took a 5 minute look around our "premium" suite and then checked out. We found roaches in the drawers. :eek: You may want to check out The Fountains. A very nice and affordable place on International Drive...

I always thought that Fear Factor Live was where the Wild, Wild, West Stunt Show took place. I could be wrong about that. If I am, where was that Wild West Show located?

Got mine. Woo Hoo!:sohappy:

What a great trip report! We were at EPCOT the same day you were. That rain and wind right before IllumiNations was something wasn't it? Have a great day!

This is the place that used to be the Holiday Inn Nikki Bird.

I always thought that Ariel and Aurora are beautiful girl names. I know a lady by the name of Perla.

I think that hotel closed down and reopened as an extended stay/transient type of motel.

I have to agree with rsoxguy on the hotels located on US192. However, my wife and I found a very nice place on US192 called the Galleria Palms. Check them out on tripadvisor.com. We got a great room with two queen beds and a nice free continental breakfast in the morning for about $60 a...

Sugar is awesome. She is playing the "dumb blonde" card perfectly. She is the smartest castaway right now. Plus she showed a bit of a devious side tonight as well. I look for her and Bob to somehow align with each other. I can't wait to see Randy at the finale. He was completely owned. I...
