    Expedition Everest effects status watch

    on the contrary I found the parks to be quite clean the rides mostly fully functional ...many rides updated since my last trip years ago.... most cast members smiling and happy.... my only disappointment was Hollywood Studios turning into Star Wars Studios... and yes the lack of a Yeti that I...

    Hollywood studios- how much time do you need?

    We just returnedd. We arrived at HS at 930 and walked right on the Great Movie ride then our FP for the RandR coaster. We then did the Walt Disney Musem / brief movie and our second FP for Tower of Terror. We somehow got a reservation for the Prime Time Café (not impressed at all) then saw...

    Debating on Renting at OKW or staying at a Moderate? My Experience...

    The point of this post is to provide some experiences of renting at OKW versus staying at a Moderate resort. Opinions are my own. It was a tough decision for us, I could not find much to help make a decision. Perhaps this will help you if you are our in our boat. I have stayed at WDW a dozen...

    Expedition Everest effects status watch

    Well...after over a decade a made it back to AK last week and was able to get a FP for EE. I saw NO Yeti at all...no bird, no fog...nothing! We were seated in the last seats on the coaster...is he not visible from there? The ride itself seemed interesting but was unenjoyable since I dwelled on...

    Car Rental From Sanford to WDW

    FOR THOSE INTERESTED: Well I am back. My rental experience, unless something odd shows up on my charge was painless. Recall, I booked thru Expedia and opted the $10 day CDW. Recall too the I joined the Thrifty Blue Chip program and upon doing so my rental was rebooked away from Expdia but...

    Just got to wdw..what's up with all the scooter's

    I am just saying it's sad people take advantage thats all...we are having a great time...the parks are emaculate...cast members friendly...transportation....eh...not as good as I recall a CB or Po or CS.but perhaps that's the nature of the sprwaling OKW.... And yes I am pretty sure of the 5...

    Just got to wdw..what's up with all the scooter's

    I just got to wdw...it's been a long 10 year wait... one thing is bugging me after only 2 days... First, I am all for truly handicapped people getting a break...but to be politically incorrect....being fat is a lifestyle choice 99 percent of the time...not a handicap. Loading you scooter...

    Tips to avoid car rental scams

    About this loss of use thing. Has anyone had experience with them trying to force you to pay that after you've been in an accident. I mean they could say it takes 3 days to get the car into the shop to get looked at another week before they can get the car into the shop and a week to repair it...

    Tips to avoid car rental scams

    Interesting comments I did indeed see that rates fluctuate in fact I was suspicious that Thrifty cancelled my Expedia reservation and created one of their own all be it at the same rate but without the $10 per day Collision thing to simply try to sell me their $28 per day at the airport. I have...

    Upcoming WDW Trip...kicked out of Coronado Springs

    Back to the original issue...its funny, we have stayed at the moderates a decade ago when we last visited. We visited yearly for about 5 - 6 years. I recall liking Riverside and CS. Around 9/11 we were actually upgraded from CB to WL; as I recall they closed CB. We were disappointed because at...

    Tips to avoid car rental scams

    So to summarize, decline the transponder option, take 417 from SFB to WDW, have dollars and change for tolls, there will be either a toll taker or a basket to throw my exact toll change into....there are no unmanned / no cash accepted booths along the way. Also,since they removed the $10 per...

    AUTOMATED CHECK IN

    Just got my magic bands and an enticing email about bypassing checkin altogether. It seems I can leave my bags at the desk (or in my car if that works out) and I'll get a text when my room is ready and I can just go to it. Questions: Is there any chance that I will somehow wait longer for my...

    Tips to avoid car rental scams

    I'll never use SUNPASS again and the rest of the east coast uses EZ PASS which I already have so Booo! to FLA. The real questions are: 1) will they access me a daily tollpass charge no matter what and what do they charge...could not get a straight answer when I called Thrifty...then again the 3...

    Tips to avoid car rental scams

    I am hoping somebody could offer up some things to watch for when renting a car. I made an Expedia rental through Thrifty and got a very nice summary of my expenses which included a $10 per day collision damage waiver. I next joined Thrifty's Blue Chip program and called Thrifty to have my...

    Car Rental From Sanford to WDW

    AND... I saw some other posts that seem to indicate you may not have to wait online at SFB thrifty, or have a special expedited line (kind of a fastpass I guess!) if you are a thrifty blue chip member. Its free...I'll sign up...but would this apply to reservations made thru Expedia?

    Car Rental From Sanford to WDW

    Regarding thrify car rental at SFB...it says in airport / in terminal. Does any one know if this means both the pick up desk AND car is in the airport? I want to make sure I need take a bus or something to get to my actual rental car...thanks

    Thanks for the heads up...sounds like heading to airport at 5am or earlier could be off hours!

    Car Rental From Sanford to WDW

    4 a.m.? I was thinking of leaving at 5 a.m. you say the airport is not busy so I'm going to assume there won't be a long line... were you suggesting leaving at 4 in case the car breaks down. As far as roadside assistance I am not responsible for fixing the car correct? I'm not sure what I would...
