We come from Barrie and take that route. The first time we ever drove, we left around 4 am on Friday and drove all the way to Clinton, TN. Got up at 4:30 am the next day and we were checked into our room around 4 pm on Saturday. It was a lot of driving but thankfully we had no traffic or...

I was reading about Stage 3 and I'm really upset about "Wynne Wednesdays". Specifically "They’ve also been told to wear union insignia — buttons, t-shirts or hats" http://www.cp24.com/news/etfo-readies-wynne-wednesdays-prepares-for-rotating-strikes-in-october-1.2569806 My kid can't wear a...

We usually take this route from Barrie. We find Sarnia a much quieter and easier crossing than Detroit or any of the Buffalo crossings. Our longest wait ever to cross to/from Sarnia was maybe 10 minutes max. On our way back in January there was a major ice storm that hit though so we ended up...

My inlaws have a 3 bedroom home they've rented and are staying there regardless if we go or not so they said if we go, don't worry about paying our share of the rental. We weren't planning on going anywhere this year as we just went to Florida over Christmas and we also have been doing renos on...

3 of us. Flying from YYZ to MCO - $1165 return - taxes and fees included. A Wednesday in February. I'm thinking with the way the dollar is now, I can't do much better flying out of Buffalo. Unless I risk waiting to see if the dollar improves - but then I may not be able to find a decent...

I'm a take it or leave it kind of gal with FPs. I gave up searching for the perfect FPs for our MK day on December 23 about a week before we left for our trip. It was stressing me out too much! We had an ADR for dinner at CRT. We had never been to WDW that time of year before. Previously...

We drove down for Christmas holidays this year. We are from Barrie and take I-75 down. In the winter, we like that route better and it is the one we are more familiar with. We left around 5ish on Thursday and crossed at Sarnia around 8:30 am. There was not one car ahead of us and we were less...

Absolutely!!! We always bring our lunch, snacks and drinks. We freeze some water bottles as well. We usually time our lunch or snack breaks around the parades. We get a spot nice and early, enjoy our lunch and by the time we are done, the parade is starting. Its a nice little break for us, we...

We were at USO on December 31. It was a cloudy, coolish day with a little bit of rain so maybe we lucked out but we didn't have EP and did everything on our wish list. Our longest wait was the Despicable Me ride. Wait time was 120. We hit Harry Potter area first thing in the morning. I am...

I purchased my tickets from the Disney website and was then able to book my fast passes right away. We stayed off site as well. I was unable to get FP+ for the headliners but got everything else I wanted. We hit the headliners first thing at rope drop, did as much as we could in the morning...

IMHO, no. If you don't care about Anna and Elsa or 7DMT, don't worry about it. We were there on December 23. I didn't actually select our fast passes until the night before. We knew A&E were out. DD likes them but she wasn't into character meet and greets this go round. We got mid-afternoon...

We were 15 minutes early for Space Mountain and asked and were waived through, no problems. The CM at Haunted Mansion would not let us through 5 minutes early.

We crossed at Sarnia again. We left Barrie at 5 AM on Thursday and were across by 8:30. We had no wait to cross at all. There was no one ahead of us. We drove right up, talked to the guy at customs for 2 minutes and we were off and running. Mom and Dad arrived later in the morning the day...

9 hours until we leave!!! Soooo excited!!!!! Safe travels and Merry Christmas!!!!

My DD is 9 and she is kind of "over" the character thing too but is very excited about our dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table. "Mom, we get to eat IN the castle?!?! Not everyone gets to to do that!" :rotfl2:

Yep. I'm there too. I feel like I should be doing something...planning something. There is nothing left to do but wait and then the last minute scramble! LOL

The plan is to hit the road around 5 am on Thursday morning. The weather is looking good so far (*fingers crossed*) for the drive. I picked up "Along I-75" yesterday from CAA and now have a tentative travel itinerary organized. Not much left to do now except wait and last minute packing. I'm...

We are leaving next Thursday from Barrie and are crossing at Sarnia. Our GPS took us that way last time so we did it and found it so much easier than crossing at Detroit. It takes a little bit to get to I-75 but we find we avoid some traffic and DH hates the drive through the Windsor/Detroit...

We leave next week. It won't change anything for us. We are driving though so we are very pleased with the way gas prices are going. :drive:

Well, we are getting closer to our first every Christmas away from home. We will be staying at a villa in Indian Point (Kissimmee) from December 20-January 3. We have been to WDW twice before and we are familiar with the theme parks but this go round we only have one day planned at MK on...
