    FAQ: Flying Out of Buffalo OR Detroit

    I love DTW and wish I lived closer. YYZ is a zoo, parking costs almost as much as my flight, and it's a crapshoot as to whether my car will still be there when I return from my trip.

    FAQ: Flying Out of Buffalo OR Detroit

    Same. I have seen better prices out of Detroit (with Delta, not a no-frills airline, once over $2K cheaper for 4 after conversion to CAD), and rarely, cheaper out of YYZ with Westjet. If you're very close to YYZ, it's probably a no brainer, but if you have to drive a couple of hours to any...

    NEXUS fee to rise significantly

    When I applied for NEXUS, you needed the retina scan if crossing the border by air but I think it is no longer required. I do recall having to do a retina scan at YYZ years ago, but did not require it last summer.

    NEXUS fee to rise significantly

    Good point. It has been 4 years since we applied so I forgot about that. Would still be an extra $210 USD for our family though.

    NEXUS fee to rise significantly

    Should be, since you pay at the time of application or renewal.

    Paint the Night ever coming back?

    Totally agree, best parade ever. I heard rumors last year of it returning this year. Latest rumor is that it has been delayed to next year for the 70th anniversary. I planned a trip this year hoping it would be back. Unfortunately, I will miss it if it comes next year as the current plan is...

    NEXUS fee to rise significantly

    If you're thinking about applying, or due to renew, do it soon as the price is going to increase from $50 USD to $120. That's a hefty increase for your average family of 4 or 5. That said...still worth it...

    Luminous thoughts

    Agree with this. Loved the beginning and the end. Music in the middle was an odd choice. Fireworks are amazing. I loved Illuminations but the globe part was too long and boring. After watching Harmonious Live on Disney+, I grew to appreciate what went into the show and loved it from that...

    Rats or vermin in parks?

    I have seen plenty of vermin over the years at Disney, but they stand on 2 legs and speak English.

    Brim mastercard - negative changes

    I have the Home Trust as well as the Scotia Infinite Passport. I have read about a limited number of transactions with the Home Trust but don't use it enough to comment whether that is true. I have had no issues with it and for a no-fee, no forex and cash-back card, it is hard to beat. I have...

    After Hours Events - Ask Questions and Share Experiences Here

    I was at the DHS event last night and I am sad to read that so many people had such a poor night. It definitely did not get off to a good start with RotR and MMRR down. This being our first event, we would definitely do it again. Before the event started, we were able to do: - Star Tours x2 -...

    Our worst day at WDW in 16 years...

    It was definitely a busy day. We have never had an issue getting VQ for GotG in the past, but had no luck yesterday. Despite that, I still like the VQ system. If you really need to ride it and can't get the VQ, you can still pay for it. Since you paid for G+, why didn't you do some of the...

    Hope none of you had your March break plans ruined.

    Yes I get that, but the article said many Sunday flights were disrupted because of bad weather in Orlando. I am in Orlando and the weather Sunday was beautiful!

    Hope none of you had your March break plans ruined.

    Apparently lots of flights out of MCO cancelled as well. Today seemed to be a repeat of yesterday. Unsure what they are saying about weather, because it was beautiful here today. Seems like fake news to me. https://www.aol.com/news/southwest-cancels-over-100-flights-172830570.html

    Hope none of you had your March break plans ruined.

    https://allears.net/2024/03/09/delays-impact-over-300-flights-at-orlando-international-airport/ Our flight was cancelled at the last minute. Fortunately, I was able to rebook with another airline. The flight was delayed multiple times, but at least we finally made it. Checked in at Boardwalk...

    DLH or GCH for Party of 5

    If your trip is far enough away, you could try to rent DVC points for GCH. Their 1 bdrms sleep 5 and have 2 bathrooms. I love the theming at DLH but would choose GCH over it every time.

    Bag Checks

    Anyone know if coins set off the scanners? I usually don't use cash at Disney but have a bunch of US cash I need to get rid of.

    Disney After Hours Q&A and Experiences Thread

    Are the friendship boats still running after the event or do they switch to buses? We will probably be too tired to walk back to Boardwalk from DHS.
