    "For 2,000+ Mile Round-Trip Drivers Only!" (Part V)

    Made it last night. Started looking for stations as soon as the tank showed half. Avoided those stations with prices posted below 2.29 - those seemed to be the ones out. Unfortunately, the stations aren't turning off their price signs when they are out. Better not to waste gas stopping at...

    We just drove down yesterday, filled up in Paducah, for next fill up around TN-GA border we stopped at 6 stations that were totally out. We finally stopped just outside Dalton,GA and were able to fill up from the station's last 100 gallons. The station owner was getting ready to close as he...

    Florida AP snowbird ?

    Were you buying it on the payment plan or one time payment? If you're buying it on the monthly payment plan, the card you are using must have a FL billing address.

    Fingerprint scan doesn't work for me

    I have that problem also - not only at Disney but also at Universal and even using the fingerprint login on my laptop (thank goodness there is also a password login). Someone suggested stroking the finger across your forehead to pin up some natural oils, but even that doesn't work.

    How do AP's work when you are not from Florida, but someone else is?

    I do agree with this. We are part year FL residents with our legal address in Illinois. Last month when we visited, I asked at guest relations at Universal when we were exchanging our paper AP (out of state - gotten several years before we became part year residents) to the plastic one if part...

    "For 2,000+ Mile Round-Trip Drivers Only!" (Part V)

    Got home on Tuesday, May 31. Had a wonderful surprise when we checked in at Royal Pacific for the Universal part of the trip. We were upgraded to a club level king suite. Now, we are spoiled - breakfast in the morning, dinner at night with wine. Plan to leave again on Wednesday - 8 days...

    Chase lounge in Epcot

    The Chase lounge is open for F&W because Chase is a major sponsor of F&W. They are not a sponsor of F&G.

    what constitutes a bag for the bag check entrance?

    We were at Epcot last week Mon thru Wednesday. Everyone that went through the no bag entrance was directed to the metal detectors. Random people were pulled over for the metal detector from the bag check lines. By the way, DH has had both hips replaced with titanium. He always sets off the...

    "For 2,000+ Mile Round-Trip Drivers Only!" (Part V)

    Yes, we arrived. And tomorrow we leave. Checked into Pop, and then drove over to Hollywood Studios for a couple of hours. Came back, rested a while, and then went to Disney Springs(took the bus there). Rain in the evening. Tuesday, we were going to Epcot for F&G but it was raining so we...

    Arrived in Gainesville for the night. Tomorrow Disney! DH misses the check engine light since we got the catalytic converter replaced, but loves the improvement on gas mileage.

    "For 2,000+ Mile Round-Trip Drivers Only!" (Part V)

    Left today around 10 am and arrived at daughter's house in Nashville. Leaving here on Sunday morning for the drive to Florida. Just drove down 57 today. There were a couple of road construction tie ups - one around Kankakee, the other was further south - where traffic merged to one lane...

    "For 2,000+ Mile Round-Trip Drivers Only!" (Part V)

    We leave in 4 days! Wish the weather would warm up so we can put the top down to clean out the car! Hate having to cram myself in the backseat to clean. Busy week before we leave - besides getting ourselves and the car ready to go, we have a luncheon with DH's retirement group, grandson's...

    "For 2,000+ Mile Round-Trip Drivers Only!" (Part V)

    All is good! Car passed the emissions test and we didn't even have to go to the Secretary of State's Drivers License Office to get our license plate sticker. They started issuing them at the emissions testing facility a week ago so we saved ourselves a long wait in line. Real Estate tax bill...

    When do you receive your magic bands?

    My Disney Experience tells me that I must customize at least 10 days in advance of our arrival. We are arriving May 16 but are leaving to drive down May 13. I ordered them on Friday, April 29, they arrived today May 2. If I had to customize 30 days in advance, we would rarely get customized...

    Yet Another AP Renewal Question

    Based on our experience, the photopass benefit does not start until the anniversary date. Pictures taken before our WDW annual pass anniversary date were still in my photopass account, but were marked unavailable for download.

    Getting ready for our trip in two weeks. Finally got the check engine light on the car fixed. Still have to get it in for its emissions test and get our license plate renewal (expres on the day we get home) done before we leave. Laundry is done and clothes are sorted for the trip. Doing three...

    Candlelight Processional Package?

    Depending on the narrator, the standby line gets started quite early. For a popular narrator like Neil Patrick Harris or Whoopi Goldberg, the stand-by line can already be quite long at 2pm. After our first year when we didn't have a package and stood in the back, we decided to always get the...

    How much better are both Port Orleans Resorts than the value resorts....

    We (DH & I) used to love staying at POFQ even though it was at a higher cost, but then they let the nighttime performer, Elliot Dyson, at the Scat Cat Club go. We really didn't care for Yee-Haw Bob at POR so we didn't stay there. We are retired and enjoyed spending our evenings listening to...

    Shipping Magicbands

    We planned a trip 3 weeks out stopping to visit our son and family before Disney. Since we were leaving in less than 2 weeks, I had the bands shipped to my son's house. They arrived before we got there.
