Hi everyone,
 
We are a Canadain Family living in SoCal - Mom, Dad and DD9.  We enjoy San Diego and WDL very much.. but my DD is getting older, so I feel the need to make the trip to Mecca so to speak! LOL.  We have a dog, called Whisky Pete, who is sweet as any rescue dog can be.. but he is small and can get him self worked into a small frenzy when we leave him alone to long when we are travelling.  (Hotels etc).
 
Info about us which may be helpful:
 
*24 foot moter home with no towed car
*3 weeks total for travel from San Diego and back
*August 10 - 30 2016 are the travel dates we are looking at
*Planning to use the doggie kenny for days when we are in the park -
 
Questions:
 
*Kennel Logistics?  Unsure if its best to pay for overnights, how far in advance does it book it? Othe options?
 
*Debating renting a car for the whole time we are in Orlando
 
*Food Shopping?  I know they have onsite, but as always its $$$.  How far is the local Publics etc?
 
*Thinking about basic food plan, you can mix and match correct?  So one day we use 3 quick service meals, and another we use one?  We are total foodies, and do not mind paying for good meals - but I think the upgraded meal plan would be too much food for even us!  We might ge further ahead if we go lower, and then spash out a few times.
 
*Universal Studios? How far is the drive? Or is it better to stay at a different location?
 
*Transportation to parks - just Bus? Water? How long?
 
*Other Hotels?  How long? We want to hit a few places for dinner, and shows!  *You can do that without a park ticket correct?
 
*August in Orlando - close to water sites, or to many bugs?
 
*Loops - Because we are paying for dog kenneling for days we are in the park, (And I am cheep LOL) I want the lowest priced lot I can get, but in a good location.  We will have bikes.   (Can you lock them up outside of the pool etc?) Any tips?  We would rather walk further to be on a site with more "space" around it.. ie not stacked up then in a central location.
 
*We looked at golf cart rentals, and its $$$ for us (me) to rent every day, but I can see us renting one, ONE day, just too "loop" and have fun.
 
*Finally - we MIGHT at a short cruise (Disney/CCL/RCCL at the start or end of our trip - where on earth can we leave our RV?
 
 
Thank you so much everyone!
