    Moving to Orlando?

    I was recently told by my employer that my position is being eliminated (in reality it's being outsourced). My last day is July 15th and then I'll be treated to 18 weeks of severance. I'm thinking this is an excellent opportunity to realize my dream of becoming a Florida resident and WDW...

    Anyone know how crowded DHS is today 5/21/10?

    We're here, were thinking of stopping by DHS, but afraid it'll be overrun by Star Wars people. Don't have park hoppers and don't wanna waste our time, anyone know? My stupid Verizon phone (all three) will not run the Disney Magic App. and Disney web page doesn't have any useful information...

    How reliable are completion dates for refurbs?

    I'm leaving for WDW tomorrow May 14th. I know muppet 3D is being refurbed 4/24 - 5/14. Does that mean it'll open on the 14th? Even worse RnR is closing Saturday through Thursday. We're planning on going to the studios on Friday 'cause, once again, I don't know if 5/15-5/20 means it'll still...

    To Park Hop or not to Park Hop

    In the past I've bought tickets with the park hopper option only to find find that we seldomly used it. Our stay in Florida is normally a week and usually get a 4 day pass and for the most part we spent 1 day in each park. Sometimes after AK closes we'd hop over to Epcot, but that's about it...

    Kudos to one Universal CM

    I know I've posted about my disappointment from my vacation last week that included 4 days at US and IOA. Litterally, we've already decided to NEVER go back, even the kids (ages 4, 7, and 13) were disappointed. I do have to tell the story of one CM though that was the shining star of the...

    Universal First Timer

    Let me start by saying, I've had a timeshare in Orlando for 5 years and am leaving Friday 9/4/09 to spend a week there. I have been traveling to Orlando almost every year since 1997. BUT... I have NEVER been to Universal Studios. To be honest, the main reason I'm going is because I have...

    Futureworld renamed or rethemed?

    I'm probably going to get slammed for this, but here goes. Does anyone but me think Futureworld should be renamed? Or, at least, themed appropriately. The thing is, what is futuristic about it? *UoE is a historic trip through Ellen's imagination *TT a current technology automobile testing...

    MNSSHP Ticket Price

    Please, before you flame me for not using search, I did. I read 30 or more threads with "MNSSHP" and "PRICE" in them. Never found the actual price. We just canceled our May vacation because my wife needs her forth back surgery April 6 and won't be able to travel that soon. So we rescheduled...

    Renewing wedding vows

    I know I'm starting REALLY EARLY. But if I'm gonna be able to pull this off, I'm pretty sure that I need to start saving money, if nothing else. See my 10th anniversary will be 2/14/2012. When my wife and I met we were both divorced with children. I had 2 and she had 1. We didn't really...

    Anyone else own at Orange Lake?

    I have to say that I am VERY disappointed in them. After much pressure, I finally bought up from a deeded week to their new points version after being threatened that soon we probably wouldn't be able to book anything there through weeks besides our own week, which we have never used. We...
