Voting Question: Vacation with a 2 1/2 year old?

I am from NJ and looking to plan our family vacation for next summer. We went to Disney this summer and had a great time! My son will be 2 1/2 yrs old next summer. I am up for any place within the US. Just trying to find somewhere that would be fun for us and him. Any ideas? more

Voting Question: Help with a title to this book?

It's the sequel to a Sonny with a chance fanfiction called "Seducing Sonny" (Which if u didn't guess is a Channy fanfic) (Even if you don't like Sonny with a Chance just hear me out please!!! I'm begging you!!! I need a title sooo badly so i can post this on fanfiction.net!! and yes i no i've alreayd posted this!!)) Anyway, it's pretty much right where the last one left off so it's Summer Vacation and Sonny and Chad are trying to go back to their love/hate relationship before the bet (Chad made a bet with his cousin that he could seduce Sonny Munroe in the last book...he ended up suceeding and Sonny and Chad ended up falling in love, but then Sonny found out and got mad and in the end they decided to just go back to how things were before) but things are just really awkward, so Sonny's really glad to be getting away from him for the Summer and visiting her best friend Lucy in Wisconsin. Then, a couple days after arriving at Lucy's she gets a call from Condor Studios saying that the casts of all the TV shows filmed there (including So Random and Mackenzie Falls) have to go to Orlando, FL for a very important meetin (Need a little help with WHY they have to go to a meeting?/ SUGGESTIONS?) But they also get two weeks in Disney World to make up for the inconvenience. Unfortunatly, there's an uneven number of boys, so Chad ends up sharing a room with Sonny, Tawni and Lucy and Tawni. Eventually, Chad and Sonny sit down and talk and Chad confesses that he still has feelings for Sonny and that even though he said they should go back to being frenemies, it kills him to see her every day and not be with her. They end up dating again in the end, but this time secretly. Sorry that was kinda long. Any ideas for titles??? Normally I'd think up my own, but I'm posting this on fanfiction.net so i kind need a title to post it. Any ideas?? Also, I don't want it to have anything to do with them going to Florida or anything, because I don't want people to know what's going to happen.sure no problem...if u wanna read the story when i post it, my pen name is Ra4chel-the 4 is silent I'm not sure if i'll use ur ideas yet, but i'll be sure to give you credit if i do. more

Resolved Question: I need help with planning a vacation to Disney World for my family...Please help!?

Hi! I am wanting to plan a vacation for me and my family sometimes next summer. I would like to go around the 1st week of June 2011. Arrive on a Friday and leave on a Monday morning. It is 2 adults, my husband and I, and our 4 children. Ages on arrival will be 3, 5, 9, and 10. I just need 1 room, with multiple beds. I would like it to be close to the park. I've never been, and I am wanting any information that I can get. I need info on pricing, for hotel and for park. Does it cost to get into park? And when you pay ti get into park, are there any other prices? I know you have to pay for food and things like that. But do you have to pay for rides and shows? I am wanting to take them to the Walt Disney World park, and to Sea World also. 4 days, 3 nights. Also, I would need the hotel to have a fridge. Can I buy groceries and bring them into the hotel? I am looking for the best budget and deal that I can get. Also, I guess I need to know about travel. Prices of tickets, and will I need a rent a car to get around? Prices of those if so? If anyone has traveled to Disney World with children, what were your prices for the travel, hotel, and admittance to the theme parks and so on. Also, I'm traveling from Tennessee if that is any help at all. I would greatly appreciate any feedback that I can get. Thanks :-) ! more

Well just for a mini vacation my dad wanted to go to Disneyland, but last minute he said what about Lake Tahoe? It's summer and we can horsebackride, water-ski, parasail (i've done that in hawaii already), other water stuff, but we haven't been to Disneyland in 2 years and i kinda wanted to go really bad.

Resolved Question: What trip should I take in 2011?

This year my family didn't take a vacation, and I was wondering which trip sounded better for 2011? -A Grand Gathering experience in Disney World with my parents(57 y.o) my 3 brothers (36,34,32 y.o), me (15 y.o) my nephew and niece (11,2 y.o) and my sister-in-laws(30,34 y.o). We would probably be there for about a week and it would probably be in the summer, over thanksgiving or christmas when the park is at it's busiest and priciest. or - A trip to California with just my parents and I. We would travel all along the coast sight seeing and shopping. Probably for a week or maybe a week and a half. more

Resolved Question: I had received answers to questions I asked about Japanese and they were deleted some of them. Why were they?

I came around to look at my Profile history and some of my questions that I selected best answers for people answering my Japanese questions were deleted. What violations could they have caused? From what I remember, nobody was violating anything because I would've reported it if they were. My following questions were which I was just trying to locate in email but everything is going slow for me on this computer were: What do the following Japanese words mean? They're all part of some Bleach Lyrics.? How do you say this in Japanese? Please no symbols. Letters only.? What does basude mean? It's Japanese. Does it mean birthday? What's the difference between "Subete wo" and "Subete no?" What do the 2 mean? And the latter. I asked while on Summer vacation in Disney Land. I am so pissed. I was learning how to say quite a few things in Japanese and I received good answers to them and now they've been deleted for no good reason. I left the ones that didnt' have answers out of this because Yahoo would have had to prune the questions anyway because there were no answers thus therefore there would've been no Best Answer. more

Resolved Question: Which Disney World Tour Should I go on? Please help!?

Hi! I'm a huge Disney Parks fanatic and I go to Disneyland more than Disney World, so I'm really excited for my vacation this summer. This time, I'm finally old enough (I'm turning 17) to go on one of the backstage tours, and it's my one birthday gift from my parents, but I'm not sure which one is more worth the time and money. I'm trying to decide between the Keys to the Kingdom or Backstage Magic Tour. I know the Keys to the Kingdom is less in depth, but it's cheaper, takes up less park time, and you get to go on a couple rides while on the tour. The Backstage one sounds cool because of all the different places you get to visit, but I'm concerned that 7 hours will take up my park time, is it worth it? Also, does one offer more backstage (like in the utilidors) time than others? I really want to be an actress at Disney one day, and I think it would be cool to spend time in the places where the actors and cast members go. Thanks so much! -Emily more

Resolved Question: What do you do if you believe in Jesus and your life still sucks?

I can't get laid. I can't get a girlfriend. My friends are gone. I find most people in the city just superficial, gossipy, or full of hate. The only thing I have going for me is my ability to laugh at all this. But, the dating world is full of girls who love abortions, one-night stands, or women who really hate men. The only cute girls I see are at the Orioles games. I certainly don't find nice, normal girls who are single anywhere else. I have no real career aspirations, just not to be poor and to have a degree. I love life, actually. I love doing my own thing at home or going out to eat with el madre. Nobody really calls me out of my old friends, who are sorta losers themselves. I'm actually kind of glad because I didn't really like them anyway. But, now I'm hanging out with like the crazies of the night who discuss weird ideas with me. It's sort of fun, but quite sad. So, I'm not saying my life sucks. I have two cool tattoos and I am on like a permanent vacation for the summer just doing what I want and when I want. There's a girl at Hopkins wondering if she'll live to see 18 because of the cancer attacking her body, that's obviously egregiously worse. But, I think I've lived a really fun live so far. I've lived, I've laughed. I've even loved (I think). I had an awesome childhood playing baseball at baseball camps. I went to Disney. I did the Ocean City trips with good friends. It's been real. I really thought that after struggling for a couple years, getting saved would sort of help me find peace here on earth. It seems Jesus only guarantees us bliss when we get to see him up in the sky. Can I wish my life away, lol? I think I would really love to get there. I've found live is meaningless, it's miserable, it's just sad here on earth. With all the killings, and the rapes, and the torture, war, lying, adultery, twisted sex games. I really am disgusted by it? So I ask - I honestly do believe my sins are payed for by Jesus, can I just meet him already? I'm annoyed with even other Jesus freaks in my class (one guy looks mean as hell yet wears a cross, like, wtf?) If I'm 23 right now and full of apathy, seeing only "hotties" walking by the Harbor full of lust, hearing about men and women fighting each other, what are the chances of it getting better for me as I grow up? I just want a beautiful girl and a job I love. I want to be funny and make others happy. I want to serve the Lord and let him mold me. But now I'm just being molded into a very apathetic, mildly funny, fast-food loving young adult. If I do end up getting a cute girl, is it okay to still be a cynic about the world-at-large? People really aren't that great, if you ask me. And, last thing, can I in any way get this straightened out other than praying, or does the fun part of being a Christian come into effect only when you pass on? more

Resolved Question: Can't stand my annoying step-mom.. I want my relationship back with my dad? ++5 STARS FOR BEST ANSWER++!!?

My dad got remarried to my step-mom when I was 12 (my parents got divorced when I was 8) and I've really noticed lately just how hateful she is towards me. I lived with my real mom up to the age of 18, and then moved in with my dad and step-mom (I now no longer live with them). My real mom was abusive, so I really had no idea how a mom should act, so for a long time I paid no attention to how my step-mom treated me. My boyfriend first pointed out things to me about how she treats me, and I've thought about things a lot lately that have really gotten me mad. My step-mom is a real clean-freak and a bit crazy in how she does things. She writes labels on things like food and freaks out if they are used for anything other than what she intended them to be used for. Multiple times while I was living with her, she would yell at me and get mad because I ate some chips or drank something without her permission. I got yelled at as well several times for not making my bed. One summer when I was home for college, I was having a problem finding a job and had been home from school for about 2 weeks.. I walked into the kitchen and heard my step-mom out on the patio on the phone talking about me, how I was lazy and didn't do anything but make messes around the house, and how I needed to get a job because I was a burden to the family. I was really upset about it and locked myself in my room, and later explained it to my dad.. my stepmom denied it all, saying that she was talking about her aunt (I had HEARD her use my name in the conversation). My step-mom has two children from a previous marriage, one who is younger and one that is my age. Her sons always get the best of everything (my dad is very well off--my step-mom doesn't have a job, and neither does her sons' father) and had a car before me, get laptops, went to private schools, were basically spoiled.. and my step-mom would make a deal of it if I needed shampoo or something or called home from college for laundry money. She always 'accidentally' misses anything important that I am doing for school, or anything special to me and has an excuse for it (not that I really want her there anyway, but she acts like she's so sorry when she really isn't). While I lived at home, she would also try to take control of my life, tell me what I can and can't do even if my dad was okay with it and then complain at him until he agreed with her. She also always happened to 'accidentally' schedule family vacations when I had to work or when I had a prior engagement. I hadn't been on a vacation in several years, while she has gone with her two sons and my dad to Disney World, Germany, Australia, and California in the past 2 years. I just moved out from home, and a day after I moved, she had plane tickets for her, my dad, and her sons for Hawaii. Her reasoning for not inviting me or even mentioning it is because since I had moved out, she would expect me to pay for my ticket and such and thought I couldn't afford it. Basically, I can't stand this miserable b*tch and I'm sick of all the crap. I'm really glad that I don't live at home anymore, but I miss my relationship with my dad.. we were close before he got married to this witch. I don't know how to even approach it all or talk to my dad about the subject, because I don't want to make him upset or make him pick sides. She is basically glued to my dad's hip, and I feel bad for him because besides the fact that she talks to him in a mean way, she basically has him tied about her finger. She goes shopping nearly every day, and spends atleast $150 (no, I am not exaggerating) and is always bringing home clothes or something she wants for the house or her room. I don't know how to get around her! more

Resolved Question: Disney/Universal Studios Summer Vacation Tips?

Hello! My family and I are going on a Orlando vacation in mid July. We have us 2 parents, a 17 year old, a 15 year old , a 9 year old and a 7 year old. We will be going to Walt Disney World for 1 week and Universal Studios for another 3 days. We have been to disney world before, just not in the summer time, but unfortunely we had no choice because of of our children's schooling shedules. But we have never been to Universal Studios, so I am very new to it and have no idea what I'm getting myself into :) I have heard of the negatives of going to Orlando parks during the summer. (hot and humid, crowded etc.) We know all the normal disney tips (extra magic hours b/c we are staying at a resort in disney, fast passes etc.) All in all, I want our family vacation to be relaxing, fun, and hasstle free. Here are my question(s): 1. Ok, I haven't got a clue how Universal Studios is! Is it broken up into separate parks like disney? 2. What rides would and wouldn't my kids like at Universal according to age group? (The reason we are going to Universal is because my son is OBSESSED with Harry Potter and we wanted to suprise him after our disney vacation with going to the Harry Potter World. But we ended up deciding to go for a week since we're already there and we didn't understand how the park worked XD. We have no clue what attractions they have.) 2. Are their any specific detailed Disney tips that you have? For example my daughters have been to disney world 10 times and say the fastest way to get the Expedition Everest in Animal Kingdom is throught Dinoland. (teenagers lol) We don't want to have a very strict attraction schedule, we just want to know how to get the biggest and crowdest attractions faster without 2 hour waits!! If you have any, please tell me some tips for BIG attractions in each of the four parks. Along with Universal Studios please! 3. Any other summer disney/univeral tips that you have?? Thank you so much for taking the time to answer this long question in advance and making our summer vacation more relaxing! :D more

Resolved Question: How to convince my parents to take a family trip to Disneyland?

Hi! Well, every other year, my parents take me and my brother to Disneyland for a family vacation. We went last year, so we won't be going this year. I asked my parents if we are going next year and they told me that we probably are not going to. I really, really, REALLY want to go to Disneyland! I love Disney so much! It was practically me WHOLE ENTIRE childhood! I'm thinking that it might be financial reasons but that's why I'm planning on saving up money for next summer. I'm keeping a "Disney Donations Box" where I put all the money that I'm saving up in. We live in Arizona so we usually drive and we don't worry about airline prices. I really want to go!

Resolved Question: Free Perks for Internet Reviewers?

I'm 22 and planning a vacation to Disney World with a group of friends next summer. when I told my father he had an idea. About 30 years ago he joined a reporter friend of his on a trip down there absolutely free. They comped the reporter and gave Dad lots of freebies like behind the scenes tours for the both of them etc... Dad thinks that I should put my time as a film student to good use and start a website reviewing movies and maybe throw in some travel destinations as well. he said if I do that, and get enough people reading it over the next year, then tell Disney I want to write about them, I might get some good perks too. I don't think its a bad idea. Any thoughts on starting a website for that sort of thing or if my dad's right? more

Resolved Question: Should I give her a lesson in real life, or bail her out yet again?

My stepdaughter is 18. We have bought her 4 cars (yes our own stupidity I get that) but she lives with her mom 100 miles away, and has always "needed" a car, since she has a part time job and college classes. She has had a car since 16. The latest car we bought her was a 2007 Ford Focus hatchback car. Great gas mileage, and low miles, so we thought it would be awesome. She called me and told me it was missing as it started, so I sent her $100 and told her to go have it checked out. She waited and I never heard anything, so I assumed everything was fine. She called today and told me that it wouldn't start at all, a friend boosted her off, and she took it to an auto parts store and they said it was the alternator (so about $500 to fix according to the mechanic who also said some sort of belt busted which ruined the alternator) I feel like she should have done like I said and took it to the mechanic when it first messed up, but with graduation, a senior trip to get ready for, school and friends, she says she forgot. We were going to give her just that amount for graduation ($500) and she was going to spend it along with some money from other family members to go to Hollywood for a week this summer. I feel like the $500 should be spent to fix her car, and we shouldn't be out $1000 total. She is crying and depressed that she won't be able to go to Hollywood, but I told her that was life, and sometimes you have to make choices for the better, and that means putting off fun things to be responsible, but she is still bummed out about it. My husband agrees with me, but she called him so upset about missing out on her dream vacation. (This is NOT the senior trip) the sr. trip is to disney world and already paid for, so that has nothing to do with her Hollywood trip. She just wants to go visit a friend who moved out there. Sorry so long, but I obviously have been dealing with a minor, and now that she is an adult, I'm a little torn. On one hand I don't want her to miss her trip, but its not like she isn't spoiled enough and I want her to realize we wont always be right there to bail her out. What would you do? Would you pay for the repairs AND send her to hollywood? Or would you just pay for the repairs and thats it? She told me with2 of the cars were admitted junkers, the last two have been really nice though. Do you think that kids should keep up with maintenance or should it be the parent's responsibility since its in the parent's name?Really zorro!? I had her take it to the Ford house so they could really be ripping us off. My husband is no kind of mechanic, lol.. Thanks for the info though. more

Resolved Question: Ex-Wife wants to go on vacation with us?

My fiancé shares 50/50 custody of his daughters with his ex-wife. The ex is a very controlling person, who has caused my fiancé much pain and strife over the years since their divorce. She left him for another person who has since left her. The past 3 weeks have been going really well with her – she appears to have calmed down – I am still skeptical! The latest development is my fiancé and I are planning on taking the girls to Disney over the summer. The ex-wife now chimes in that she wants to join us! She cites that it would be nice for the kids to have both parents with them – I see this as a controlling tactic designed to keep tabs on my fiancé and I. This would be the first big vacation my fiancé and I have taken with the kids in our 2 year relationship. Am I crazy for balking at the idea of her joining us? In my mind they are divorced…if she wants to play happy families now she should have thought of that before leaving her husband for a complete looser. This is our family now – let her taken the girls on a trip by herself. Am I being selfish here or are my concerns valid – what would you do in my situation? more

Resolved Question: Driving from Michigan to Orlando (Disney)?

My Husband and I go on vacation to orlando every summer, and we always fly. We were thinking of doing something a little different this year and making it a road trip! Has anyone ever done this? If so I would really appreciate an itinerary of stops that were made along the way. We kind of want to make our road trip a mini vacation within our vacation? What stops did you make along the way? Please include places you stayed at overnight if you decided not to drive straight through, attractions, restaurants etc. Also for anyone who has made the trip, would you recommend just making the trip straight through without staying anywhere overnight if there is only one driver? According to map quest, driving from our house to the resort we want to stay at would take close to 19 hours. Thanks for your help! more

Resolved Question: Is it a terrible mistake to visit Walt Disney World in July?

I've been to WDW many times. This summer I will be with my parents (in their early 60's and in good health) and my kids (13 and 8 years old). The first time I took my son (he was about 2 1/2 years) it was the middle of July. I have great memories, and only remember the heat being a little much. (I'm from Texas, though, so it's not big deal.) We've planned a vacation for July 5-9, 2010, and I plan to take advantage of the extra magic hours as much as possible. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone has been to WDW in the middle of summer in the last few years and totally regretted it. more
