    Onboard Gifts - Very Merrytime Christmas holiday 2022

    So, maybe this is a silly question, but I am a total cruise newbie...these room decoration packages...are you just paying to have the room decorated and you leave everything behind? Or are you buying the decorations...pillows, blankets, wall-hangings, and you get to take it all home?

    Recent experiences connecting through Pearson?

    We travelled through Pearson to MCO on WestJet on Aug 16th with no issues whatsoever. ETA: most annoying part was having to leave the secure area and go back through security. Don't understand why this is still a thing!

    Florida Towncar Services

    I am not familiar with that service. I have used Tony in the past as well as well as FL Tours, which is an official sponsor of The DIS - https://www.wdwinfo.com/Transportation/transportation1.htm

    Outlet shopping in Orlando - worth it?

    For what we tend to buy (i.e. not high-end brand names), we prefer Lake Buena Vista Factory Stores to either of the Premium outlets.

    Advice on some 'firsts'

    So, we are definitely more of a "Universal family" than a "Disney family" and I am NOT a roller coaster person AT ALL. There is so much more to Universal than roller coasters. We love the relaxed, more mature vibe at Universal and also appreciate how close everything is...being able to just...

    Discovery Cove - General Information

    They said that they didn't anticipate making any further adjustments in the foreseeable future. They expressed in their communications with me that they are essentially utilizing the chlorinated water to "disinfect" guests before and after interacting with the birds...for the safety of the...

    CABANA BAY BEACH RESORT Thread..........

    Anyone have an opinion on the best place to pick up grocery items on the way to Cabana Bay from MCO? We will have a rental car and don't care if it is Walmart, Target or Publix - just whatever is most convenient. Thanks! :)

    Discovery Cove - General Information

    Thanks for this! I saw on the website that it was closed for "enhancements" through May but wondered if it didn't also have something to do with the avian flu. We are hoping to go in August but if the aviary is not available, that might be a "deal-breaker" for my daughter - it is one of her...

    WestJet😡

    Yep, same thing happened with me - I have tried several times to get a refund with no luck - my travel bank credit was due to expire this July and I did manage to get them to extend that for another year.

    Been a long time…need lodging advice for family of five

    I don't have a lot of experience with the villas but my understanding is that the biggest difference in these vs the traditional hotel rooms will be the presence of a kitchen. Jambo has both hotel rooms and villas, while Kidani only has villas. Both have good table service restaurants, but the...

    Does adult must accompany minors for Ray feeding?

    From the context of your question, I assume that you are talking about Discovery Cove, children 6-12 must be accompanied by a paying adult who is also participating in the experience...see below from DC website (https://discoverycove.com/orlando/upgrades/ray-feeding/) RAY FEEDING Join...

    Using Canadian USD account in the US

    I realize this is probably a silly and naive question but here goes... With the recent improvement in the CAD-USD conversion, I opened a TD Canada Trust US$ DAILY INTEREST CHEQUING ACCOUNT and transferred over some money from my regular CAD chequing account. Now I am trying to figure out how...
