So what do you think about Universal plugging in a brand new Ghostbusters attraction ? With movies spanning from the 80's to 2024 it's a huge icon. I guess I'm just an old fart where I'd rather see a brand new GBA with today's technology. I think it would be awesome. I heard there's another...

My daughter lives in Jacksonville. She convinced her brother to move down as her roommate so he can help pay the very expensive, rising townhome rent. He's looking forward to the change. While scheduling this tricky move from PA we realized that we had some DVC points that need to be used before...

We're driving from NEPA to FL next week. This is the first time we're driving rather than flying. Are there any good suggestions for food stops or interesting sites along the way ? Thanks.

If you want to see some of the best running at Disney, you have to be at Hollywood Studios rope drop to see those nimble sprinters pounding the Disney pavement on their way to Rise of the Resistance 😁

I like going through this thread because some of the stories are so beautiful and inspiring. We had "magic" one time in our hundreds of visits. Our room at Animation was 88 degrees because the AC didn't work, and we couldn't get an internet signal (both my wife and I work from our laptops while...

OK. I've been spoiled with the pandemic. My first trip during the early pandemic days on Frontier was bliss. A 186 seat plane had 32 of us on it. Round trip costs were around $50. My last two trips in the past four months have been full flights. Actually, more than full. The past two were...

Sad to hear that 50s-60s icon Bobby Rydell passed away this week. On our drive down to Wildwood every summer I would make it a point to have his hit song "Wildwood Days" queued up and ready to blast as we rolled down Rio Grand Ave. entering the seaside town. Lots of great memories. I can...

We've been talking about it for awhile, but we haven't acted on it. My daughter in FL has a long weekend as we do too. The only issue was that my wife just started her new job a month ago and she was reluctant to ask for time off. She decided to ask this morning and her new manager said "Yes !"...

It's finally official. Wonder what will go in there ?

Most of the time when we post it's with my wife, daughter, and myself. We do have two boys who are 22 and 19, but they rarely seem interested in heading down to FL. That is, unless Universal Horror Nights is happening. So, we were talking a few weeks ago about heading down for Food and Wine...

I just got back from my 'short trip w/ limited Disney' report a few weeks ago. I visited my daughter while my wife stayed back in PA. The wife is conserving some vacation time for one more FL trip. A review of the airfare found that we could pay less than $120 per ticket if I use some reward...

I was very happy to see that so many people followed our adventures one month ago with our full family trip to Saratoga Springs Tree House Villas. It was a great trip. During that trip I was in the process of looking for another job which happened to successfully land upon our return back to...

Some people from PA, NJ, NY, DE, CT probably got very excited when they saw this thread. If you go to the south Jersey shore you probably have a good idea about Mack's Pizza. Mack's has two locations on the Wildwood boardwalk which is where I've been partaking in their delicious pie for almost...

Heading down in one week for a spring break with the family. We were debating whether to stay at Animal Kingdom or Saratoga. My youngest fell in love with them a few years ago when we stayed there. Darrstar gave me some great advice about staying there. Does anyone else have some helpful hints...

I'll need to submit a negative test upon my return on 3/13. I seem to remember Covid test signs last trip in January at the Orlando airport. Does anyone have any information or experience with them ? Thanks.

Just like our last trip in early January, it happened quickly. Last trip was scheduled within 24 hours. Same with this one. Wife and I were working from home in PA during an ice storm and my daughter texted from work down in Jacksonville, FL. "Check out Frontier prices....super low." Didn't take...

Our current dining room is American colonial with Amish made table, chairs, and buffet. The wife also has some 'crafty' things hanging up a three-shelf stand where she displays seasonal decorations. I didn't pop the question yet, but I'm thinking about trying to do a dining room with a Haunted...

We've been to the parks three times since the current Rona pandemic has begun. We live in PA so airline flights were part of our trips. When we first went down in July flying was great. 35 people on a 188 seat flight. $45 round trip flight. LOTS of social distancing. Only bad thing is you can't...

OK, maybe not total. But our daughter who lives in Jacksonville was planning to head down to the parks on MLK weekend. We were floundering on it, but on Friday, 1/15, 6:30 PM my wife and I fully committed and booked a flight from PHI to MCO. Got up Saturday at 1:00 AM, got ready, finished...

We went for a really quick weekend trip from PA to attend the International Arts Festival with my daughter and try some of that great new menu. It was excellent. All agreed that the tomato soup and toasted cheese w/ bacon was a simple dish, but very tasty and very popular (longest line at any...
