SallyCat Posted April 20, 2019 Report Posted April 20, 2019 Killington was horrendous yesterday. We had some near-biblical rain on Monday, which is probably the main culprit I usually love spring skiing, but Holy Jeebus. Except for Superstar, every trail was dirty granular garbage thinly dispersed over ice. I wouldn't pay money to ski there this season unless you want to lap Superstar, and even that was icy and scrapey. 4 1 Quote

momskeeztoo Posted April 21, 2019 Report Posted April 21, 2019 Thanks for posting that! Some of the women I ski with are headed up to Killington next week. I was a little jealous... not so much anymore. Definitely hiking/ camping/ biking season. 1 Quote

It was great, the boys really loved it. Didn't tell them we were going until we were at the gate. Even though the older one had guessed it several times (airplane rides mean Disney to them) there was still an appropriate amount of surprise and excitement when we told them. It was pretty crowded, with pre-Easter and Spring Break happening. The popular websites had it as 9 or 10 out of 10, but we were able to pack in plenty of activities due to knowing how to work the Fastpass system, as well as springing for an upcharge early morning event at Magic Kingdom. They wouldn't have gotten to ride the 7 Dwarfs Mine Train if I hadn't, since we only had a few days heads up to book Fastpasses they were of course, all gone. Also rented a car when we would normally just rely on Disney busses, figured with only 2 days and a morning it would help maximize our trip. 4 1 Quote

Enjorales do you’re kids know Orlando means Disney world or can’t they read or hear yet? How much does Disney charge for parking?? Edited April 21, 2019 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote
Schif Posted April 22, 2019 Report Posted April 22, 2019 What's Disney's stance on parking lot grilling and drinking? Quote

No grilling (they do provide grills/areas near most resorts) and I imagine there is a no alcohol rule. You can bring in any food and non-alcoholic beverages you want tho. I should test that theory sometime with a whole brisket, lol. Would have to cut it with the plastic food service knife tho 1 Quote

How much does Disney charge for parking?? Pretty sure they can hear. Not quite reading yet. No, Orlando doesn’t really mean anything, but they know Disney is in Florida. Parking at the hotels is I think $20 per night, parking at the parks is $25 per day. If you are staying at a Disney hotel, you don’t pay to park at the parks. If I am staying on my DVC points, I don’t pay to park at the hotel either. 1 Quote

If so I may pm you for tips on that as we're trying to avoid flying out of Philly this time. Quote

It was crazy, paid $248 each for the flights from ABE. If we had driven to PHL and taken the connecting flight as a non stop and same first leg home, would have been over $600 each. Quote

Basic economy, but I have their credit card so we each got 1 checked bag free, and first category of general boarding instead of last. Seats assigned at check in, got nice Main Cabin extra seats PHL-MCO without paying for upgrade, got preferred seats on the way back, 2 aisles and middles in same row. Paid $21 to move one of the middles to the other window and had the aisle with the two boys in with me and my wife across the aisle. 4 minutes ago, GrilledSteezeSandwich said: I think only united flies through Philly from ABE American definitely does, also Chicago and I believe Charlotte as well. Be careful if you book United from ABE and it routes through newark, most (all?) of those are busses. Quote

Yeah Atomic Jeff likes taking that United bus route from ABE to Newark because he gets extra miles. Quote

It would be nice if you rated security in ABE and it picked you up airside, and then dropped you airside at EWR. I’ve never take in, but heard you have to clear TSA in EWR. The easy security at ABE is one of the best things about flying out of there Quote
