    DVC Luau experience and presentation

    Yes we did it! It was worth it and no pressure. We got free leis, drinks, food, and a souvenir pin. They put on an abbreviated luau show with some sales talk and videos in between. Then after an hour they split us into 4 groups. We chose the tour only group and were never pressured at all...

    Do you want to be close to the action? Close to transportation/dining? Or secluded and feel like you're in the wilderness?

    Where do you leave the mousekeeping tip?

    Someone needs to check at the front desk if they are even allowed to keep it. I worked in transportation and if people tipped us (and they did) we would have to immediately inform our manager and turn it over, never to see it again. If we were caught keeping it then it was automatic termination.

    Poseidons Fury

    This is my FAVORITE attraction at IOA. It is a must do everytime. The water tunnel and the effects in the last room are just so cool every time.

    Cruise tips

    I'm glad your servers were fantastic because the 1 Disney cruise we went on our wait staff was TERRIBLE every single night. One poor girl at our table never got her food and the guy told her the kitchen was now closed, too bad.

    DVC Luau experience and presentation

    Well we went ahead and reserved our spot. Free food and drinks sound worth it enough, plus a tour of the bungalows which I will never be able to afford to stay in. We'll let you know what we thought!

    Going to Busch Gardens first time in 10 years. advice please

    They don't have free fast passes but you can buy them. The weekends are usually pretty busy so it's good you are going to be there at opening. The parking lot opens 30 min prior to open. The park also opens in stages and you'll be stopped at ropes if you try and go to the back. Hit Cheetah...

    Orlando vs Tampa

    I've lived in both cities. And even though temps are about the same I always feel cooler in Tampa because it's closer to the water and you get some sea breeze.

    Visiting WDW without entering the parks

    We've done this many times. There is plenty to do outside the parks. We're staying a whole week at the campground in August and aren't stepping foot in a park.

    New Coaster

    I like the Sea World coasters but I LOVE the Busch Gardens ones. Montu is my favorite of all parks everywhere and I like the uniqueness of Cheetah Hunt.
