    Terrified First Timer for TTC parking-advice and tips-please!!

    We shared that fear a few years ago when we made the big jump from on site to off site. That first trip to the TTC was a bit worrisome. But other than the time involved it was fairly painless. There are cast members to guide you to a parking spot. Make sure to make note of your isle...

    Flying out of Boston instead of Burlington

    Another vote to consider Manchester, NH, MHT. When we go to MCO we always fly Southwest out of MHT. There is one non-stop a day (used to be two) and a lot of connecting flights. Watch the connecting airport and times, southwest will suggest some long total travel times. We always fly the...

    What to do on off days around Disney

    DW and I made many adult only on site trips to WDW and always planned for a rest day or two depending on the length of the trip. The most important part of the day was having a slow start, taking a break from the rush to rope drop. After we were up and going we would go find a leisurely...

    Needing bloodwork while at Disney

    There is a Quest Diagnostics in Celebration about 0.6 miles from the end of World Drive. Very easy to get to from Disney. Should be an easy taxi/Uber/Lyft ride. We used it many times when we were snowbirds living in near Champions Gate. The Quest entrance is in the back of the building on...

    Champions Gate: Give me the Good ,the Bad and the Ugly.

    Unfortunately true... We have owned a vacation home in the Champions Gate area for 11 years and have seen the traffic grow to crazy levels. Fueled by rapid building of single family home and apartment complexes in the area. It wasn't bad when we first were there in 2012 but the in last 5...

    Florida resident part time

    Confirming that every adult needs a proof of residency. In our case, we used the water bill which was in my name and the cable TV bill which was in my wife's name. We had to go to a ticket window with our documents every year to renew our resident annual passes.

    Avatar made me sick - should I avoid Rise?

    You are very welcome! It is an amazing ride. In my opinion Disney should modify the introduction to emphasize the "follow the leader" story and instruct riders to focus their attention on the ride leader. It would save a lot of folks from losing themselves in the visual overload and the...

    GMA Live At MK

    Certainly wasn't recorded earlier today... folks walking around in the background in shorts and t-shirts. Glad to see that Tron is close to opening.

    Avatar made me sick - should I avoid Rise?

    My first few seconds on FoP were a bit unsettling. Then I remembered the introduction story that said it was a 'follow the leader' ride. I located and focused my attention on the 'leader' and then the ride became fun. Watching the leader's movements I could anticipate the motion. Then I...

    ALL ABOARD!

    This is great news! A visit to the MK wasn't the same without a ride on the train.

    How wet do you get on POTC?

    You have been warned... :) I am curious, was that sign always there? I guess it was but I really do not recall seeing it until after the first time I got really wet.

    What beach would you drive to for a day if you're staying in Orlando?

    I will take folks to Jetty Park if they want to go to the beach. I had to smile, on one of our trips we went to Grills and were sitting on the patio you show in your picture when a cruise ship pulled in. Right next to the patio! It was quite interesting to have the big boat inching...

    train???

    So happy to see this news! MK has not been the same without the train. Maybe it is because I know how important trains were to Walt. For me a visit to the MK is not complete without a loop around the park on the train. And yes, I really miss the MK Welcome at the train station. There...
