  1. San Antonio was where we purchased our Platinum Passes.  We were in Houston for my granddaughters birthday and drove to SeaWorld to get the passes.  We got two years for all these parks

    • Unlimited admission at these SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment locations: SeaWorld Orlando, SeaWorld San Diego, SeaWorld San Antonio, Aquatica Orlando, Aquatica San Antonio, Aquatica San Diego, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Sesame Place (PA), Adventure Island (FL), & Water Country USA (VA). Special rates at Discovery Cove in Orlando, FL.

    • for less than just Orlando Seaworld, Busch Gardens and Aquatica for 1 year.  There was no big 1 day admission down payment.  They took the cost divided by 24 and that's all I had to pay that day and got billed monthly after that.  They are automatic renewal and they haven't raised the rates after they expired,  My wife found the deal for us.  I was shocked at the price difference between Texas and Florida.

    And our insulated backpack has the Miller Lite logo on it too.  Must've been some promo that the people didn't want and donated it to Goodwill.

    I should look into the platinum pass deal. We have sea world season pass, but sadly, don't get there too often. We go out to Florida for Disney so often, it might be cool to pop over to the Sea World or Busch Gardens now and then too.

     

    And you gotta love goodwill :)

  2. It's funny, SeaWorld Parks including the water parks are pretty strict on what you can bring in.  Only snack sized items, water, baby items.  I have metal water bottle I bring in (full of water) but they never question what's in it, but if they see a soda can it has to get tossed.

     

    We usually bring in their refillable cups with the lids on to get soda refills.  I could shove a sandwich or two in them, and they would never know.

    We have a seaworld here in San Antonio and they can be strict about you bring in. My experience at Disney has been that they'll let me bring in anything in my little cooler backpack...we shove all kinds of crap in there and never get questioned at all. They do look carefully for straws at AK, but otherwise it seems fair game. We almost always carry in one meal. And then eat ice cream or popcorn or dole whips for the other meal. Yep, we're that family. Bad mommy! :drool1:

  3. FYI for whenever you need to fill up with Diesel fuel before leaving the WDW area. I know, as I've driven a MH through there many times, that the Murphy station at the Wal-Mart on 535 is RV friendly. And the prices are as low as you'll find close to WDW.

    Right now the diesel there is $3.41. The Hess stations on property are $3.56, and the Hess just next door to that Murphy is $3.46

    This is good info...always love to save money....which is hard to do at WDW. As soon As I cross into the front gate it's like - budget? There's a budget?....why yes, honey, we do need a million disney pins...and that snazzy throw blanket...and OOOHHHH mickey wine glasses!!!! You get my drift....

  4. I love them! I need something cute for my little holy terror. Found a disney collar, but she is so tiny, nothing fits.  A bandana is a great idea....assuming she will leave it on. Apparently she is not as into disney fashion as I am. Go figure...

  5. Good points, thanks. Bigfoots (Bigfeet?) hold their value, but are really up there in price. I think you're right about the appliances. I hadn't thought too much about them, mainly the structure itself. Both brands have an awesome fiberglass clamshell design, which really cuts down on roof issues.

    I am leaning toward the new one. Good to know about bargaining, all they can do is say "no", right? The new one is 2014.

    Can't wait to get to the Fort!

     

    You have probably already made your decision, since I am about a month late to the thread BUT....when we bought our fifth wheel, I sent the dealer a ridculously low offer and what I wanted for our trade in thinking I would get a " :rofl2: " in return. Apparently I didn't shoot low enough because they took the offer!  Saved us almost $10000 over a similar unit from a different deal who panned our offer. So, ask away!

  6. He's not lying.  If you're lucky enough, you can get picked for an Ooey Gooey Moments tour to see where they're constructing it...

    THAT is not an ooey gooey cinnamon roll....here in Texas, that is what we call a giant cow patty - - - - it looks like a big pile of poo. :rofl2:

     

    I'm i the only one that likes the sorcerers hat?

     

    I like that hat.  When we were there in July, hiding under the BAH during a thunderstorm, I have some recollection of a CM telling us the hat was going away.  There will still be a BAH at All-Star Movie Resort.

  7. Having driven by all three stations hundreds of times during the day, I can tell without a doubt that the three WDW Hess gas stations have the same price which is always 3 to 5 cents higher than the nearby off property Hess stations just off property.

    All I know is that we "gas buddied" the prices before leaving the property last trip out and the near by stations on the app listed $3.98 and about....we paid $3.70 at Hess. The truck is diesel...don't know if that makes a difference....

  8. The Hess gas station and convenience store located near Disney's BoardWalk Resort will be temporarily closed for maintenance and updating of equipment, starting 7am Monday, October 13.

     

    The project is anticipated to take 1-3 weeks to complete.

     

    During this time, signage will be posted at the site directing people to the other on-property gas stations - Car Care Center near Magic Kingdom, and Hess in the Downtown Disney area.

    We love this gas station. We have an aux tank in the truck so we carry 60 gallons of fuel in total...That joint magicallys saved us $.30 a gallon vs off property on our last trip out!

  9. Usually it's all the usual retail outlets, often including the Trading Posts at the Fort.

     

    Judging from the photos, I'd say these were at the Emporium in MK?

    Any idea how long these promotions usually last?  Must have that throw! DD has one with princesses on it - - - because despite the fact that the world tells her she's too old, she still loves ALL THINGS DISNEY - - including the princesses.  When did kids decide that 10 was too old to like such things?  Okay, that was a totally off subject rant....just need to get to WDW while the throw is still available :wiz:
