I'm staying at Pop Century and am actually checking out on the 16th so I'm ditching my bags with luggage services and running for an EMH AM safari ride and then I want to go to GF and back to Pop what's the best way to do this? ]]> Orlando Travel Planning GraceysGirl http://micechat.com/forums/orlando-travel-planning/127195-advice-pop-century-transportation.html http://micechat.com/forums/orlando-travel-planning/126779-beyond-brazilian-tour-groups.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:10:08 GMT As many people today gripe and curse at the sights of Christmas-before Thanksgiving (admittedly, Disney's on the same boat here), I'm taking the Christmas creep to a new level - by writing about turismos! What are turismos, you ask? That's the nickname of the numerous herds of South American teens celebrating their big one-fivers in Orlando in either matching knapsacks, shirts, or both, and I called them so because of their names including that term. What those groups have in common are - you guessed it - adult guides with flags! We Central Florida visitors have to come to terms each and every December through March and June through August, respectively coinciding with the groups' summer and winter holidays, with the chanting, spot-stealing, and line-cutting. A lot of us are really familiar with the Brazilian tour groups, but it's also the Argentines who we should be aware of!

As a Hubber (a HubPage author), I decided to do a Hub about the turismos, since their season starts next month. Feel free to discuss my Hub on the matter, or to comment on the Hub at the actual article - it's a very useful one if you are traveling during the ripe seasons of turismos!

Taking the family down to WDW for a week in January for the first time. We are staying at the All Star Music and were tinkering with the idea of buying a meal plan for our trip.

Historically when travelling to Disneyland we rarely eat at the park because of the other options available in the vicinity, but as I understand WDW is a city in itself, I wonder if it would be more convenient to do one of the meal plans.

Does anyone have any experiences with not taking the meal plan and just paying out of pocket? Is it more expensive? Are there other options close by?

Thanks for any advice that you can provide. ]]> Orlando Travel Planning Meville http://micechat.com/forums/orlando-travel-planning/126633-meal-plan-not-meal-plan.html http://micechat.com/forums/orlando-travel-planning/126378-walt-disney-world-information-channel-1987-a.html Sat, 31 Oct 2009 08:22:12 GMT This is the information channel loop that was broadcast at the Walt Disney World Resort hotels during the mid to late 1980's.

(Sometimes 2, but mostly in the context of "family vacations")

I would be traveling from the SF Bay Area, alone, and wanting to find something reasonably affordable. This would be my first trip ever to the WDW Resort and have been wanting to go for years on end. Can anyone assist with any affordable package deals for a single traveler? Thanks in advance. ]]> Orlando Travel Planning Jungle Book Fever http://micechat.com/forums/orlando-travel-planning/126093-any-affordable-package-deals-single-traveler.html
