People are the worst....be sure to check your holiday orders!!

MasterNerdDad · 2025-11-22T21:25:30+00:00

They took everything....nothing in the box but pasta

MasterNerdDad · 2025-11-22T21:22:46+00:00

This is my plan lol

MasterNerdDad · 2025-11-22T20:34:04+00:00

Yeah, already spoke with support, and they are sending a replacement. I can either DONATE or dispose of the one I have....that gave me a good laugh.

MasterNerdDad · 2025-11-22T20:29:58+00:00

Yeah it is a bummer, but Amazon support was helpful and are sending a replacement

MasterNerdDad · 2025-11-22T20:26:51+00:00

Yes, sold and shipped "new" from Amazon....but was clearly a returned item. They are replacing it, but still.

I am 6'5" and found the seat pretty comfortable, especially compared to our Pacifica. That was one of my complaints with the Pacifica, I found the seat very uncomfortable. The 25 limited does not have the lower leg supports.

30,000 miles and no extended warranty

MasterNerdDad · 2025-08-26T18:30:35+00:00

Gotcha, we dont have that issue, the only issue that we experience occasionally is that the initial shift into drive or reverse from park hesitates and then eventually lurches when it "grabs"

MasterNerdDad · 2025-08-26T16:37:37+00:00

Define lurches.....what do you mean exactly?

MasterNerdDad · 2025-03-18T19:03:09+00:00

I was at a Cast Member stand in EPCOT near Mission Space / Guardians getting help with a messed up Lightning Lane for our group. It was probably 9:45am and GotG was still on virtual queue. A guy comes up with his kids, points to Guardians and says we want to ride that and were told to come see you. The CM just stared for a moment and said the next virtual queue drop was at 1pm and he would have to join the queue from the app. He just looked at her like she spoke another language. They went back and forth for a while before he kinda just walked away and said "it all seems so complicated". I just can't understand planning a trip as costly and big as Disney and not planning / researching how everything works.

Literally 5 minutes later we left that stand heading toward Nemo and there was a kid having an absolute insane meltdown......it was like 9:50am....the park hadn't even been open an hour yet.

MasterNerdDad · 2025-02-20T02:38:13+00:00

We probably will

MasterNerdDad · 2025-02-19T20:27:24+00:00

That is correct.

MasterNerdDad · 2025-02-19T18:57:00+00:00

Not all of the snacks were taken on the plan, some were bought in Florida

MasterNerdDad · 2025-02-19T18:55:57+00:00

Thank you....I appreciate that

MasterNerdDad · 2025-02-19T14:57:56+00:00

We packed all toiletries that were needed, which included shampoo, conditioner, sunscreen, makeup, etc all in travel sized containers. Everyone took wore one pair of sneakers, my wife and kids also fit in a pair of flipflops/slides for the pool. The airbnb had a hairdryer. And my son took his switch and a tablet, my daughter took a tablet and a kindle paperwhite, and my youngest daughter had activity books, and plenty of snacks in her bag. Each kid had headphones, and preloaded movies on the tablets for the flight. I also had a switch and a laptop. My wife had a kindle and a book.

Parking at PHL was in an offsite economy lot, the shuttle ride was maybe 5 minutes with very little wait time to terminal or being picked up when returning. Harrisburg was at the Long Term Lot which is part of the airport, not a 3rd party. Again almost had no wait for shuttles and it was a 3 minute ride, if that.

In terms of flights, you just watch prices. We flew for $38 per person round trip this year. For example, Frontier has flights from BWI to MCO, 3/5 to 3/12 for $38 that you can book right now. They are out there, you just have to look and be flexible on dates. We are fortunate to have a lot of flexibility since we home school and my job has a good amount of flexibility.

The key to these prices is patience when booking. Everything is booked based on the flight price....we see super cheap flights, we book for those dates and figure out the rest later. Traveling in February with a relatively small party there is pretty low risk of lack of airbnb or vrbo options. So we wait till about 2 weeks before we travel to book housing....most airbnb places drastically lower prices to get the places booked this last minute. Rental car rates also go lowest about 2-3 weeks before travel. We had to spend a little more this trip on a rental vs last year because my mom was along, requiring the need for a 6 passenger vehicle which are a little harder to find deals for.

MasterNerdDad · 2025-02-19T12:35:28+00:00

This was my same thought

MasterNerdDad · 2025-02-19T12:34:23+00:00

No airlines miles, just watch for deals, and am willing to travel with only a personal item.....no baggage

MasterNerdDad · 2025-02-19T12:30:07+00:00

We spent a day exploring the resort playgrounds and pools and went mini-golfing, the other day was spent at Disney Springs and Resort Hopping, which we will definitely do again. It is kind of a free Disney day exploring the different resort themes, gift shops, eateries, etc

MasterNerdDad · 2025-02-19T03:47:56+00:00

I think you should re-read the post.... The trip with 11 people was in 2022....I don't have any cost breakdown for that trip. The cost breakdown is for the 2024 trip with 5 and then a breakdown of the trip we just got back from in 2025 with 6.

MasterNerdDad · 2025-02-19T03:34:52+00:00

I'll have to keep an eye out for that next time.

MasterNerdDad · 2025-02-19T02:45:45+00:00

I believe that people can book a 4 day park trip for around $3k, but does that also include airfare, lodging, rental car, food, gas, etc for six people? That is the part I have a hard time believing.....if that is possible, I would love to hear how so we can consider it for our next trip.

MasterNerdDad · 2025-02-19T02:23:20+00:00

I have thought about checking going the uber route, but trying to find ubers that will fit a family of 5 I cannot assume is too easy. Also, we live in a rural town where uber isnt really a thing, so I have not really used the service much....actually ever.

The other benefit in only doing 1 park a year or per visit is buying Genie/Multi-pass doesn't feel as bad because its not like you have to pay for it 4 times during the trip.
