    We've done Royal Pacific and Hard Rock twice. We like them because of the Skip the Lines passes that come with staying at them and the proximity to the parks. A good hint is they often have very good annual pass discounts at Hard Rock, Royal Pacific and Portofino where you would save enough to...

    Hey All I didn’t read back so sorry if this is a repeat but I got a deal at Sobeys reminiscent of the pickle deal from a couple years back. I was doing tacos for my teens and their buddies last night and I bought the promotion Old El Paso kits with the shells, tortillas and bowls that they’ve...

    Niagara Falls

    Hit up Tim Hortons for you donut fix... I grew up in the area and spent a summer as an announcer at Marineland. It's a good option with some shows and amusement park rides. If you don't want to go to Great Wolf there are two other indoor water parks attached to hotels as well. Fallsview...

    Just a heads up on this, I interpreted this as a scaled back version of the 5 AMs for every $5 spent to now be 3AMs per $5 when I first saw it. On second reading (and looking at the Shell site) I think this is just 3 AMs per transaction over $5. So if you buy a $50 gift card you would only get...

    Canadian Disney Gift Cards

    For Air Miles I was setting my account to cash miles and getting the Sobey's gift card vouchers and using them to buy Disney Gift Cards at Sobey's but it's been hit and miss recently whether they'll let you buy gift cards with gift cards. Lately the better approach is to simply use the gift...

    DVC with friends

    My spreadsheet (and I know we all have one) brought me to the conclusion that my break even is around $7.50 per point over the lifetime of my contract. I basically use that as my rate for extended family and close friends (although we have "gifted" a stay for a special event to a niece and her...

    Canadian Disney Gift Cards

    You got approximately $76.60 USD for $100 CDN from the bank and $78.96 USD for $100 CDN through the gift card. Canadian Disney gift card wins by approximately 3.08% (i.e. $78.96/$76.60 = 1.308)

    Disney Gift Card Deals

    You buy the gift cards in CDN dollars and when you use them at Disney you get whatever the closing exchange rate is from the day before you used it. (i.e. if you have a $100 CDN gift card today it would be worth approximately $79.53 USD). It can be beneficial for Canadians because you don't pay...

    Disney Artists - Need Recomendations

    We have one of the Pirate Ship at the Beach Club and one of Cinderella's Castle lit up with icicles for Christmas signed by Larry Dotson. Two of my favourite souvenirs. Super guy, very personable and approachable.

    The Everything Pooh Sized Thread

    I'm 6'5" 320lbs. Seven Dwarf's kills my legs but it's doable. Flight of passage was a no go for me but my problem stemmed from my long calves and size 15 feet. If I slid my feet in my knees couldn't get under and if I put my knees in my heels were to far back for the leg restraints to click...
