:lookaroun I know there have been plenty of threads about how the crowds are the same as last year and all but I was there a few years ago (maybe three) during the days before hurricane Frances and we tried to get a room at the last minute and we could not. So it is the economy, it is the gas prices and alittle bit of schools being back in session. I know there are doubters who think everything is fine in the world but I am here to tell you that it is not fine out there and people (just average, every day working class people like me) do not have anything extra to throw at a vacation right now. So for those who can go on a whim good for you, but I hope that next year the empty rooms are few and far between again because that would mean things are better overall, for everyone. Please, no slamming, this is strictly my opinion. To the OP, have a great weekend and take an umbrella in case Fay makes a repeat trip too. :wave:
