The amount of mis-information or pricing was really bad. DW and I have been AP holders at DLR for many years, and the TA was saying that they were a bad deal. (she didn't know I had them) She was telling me that I would be paying for tickets that I would never use (??) and that buying a two or three day deal (through them of course) was much better.

When I asked about packages at WDW, she came up with a package at the Poly that was close to what I wanted, but seemed way more expensive.
You can usually do better booking your own resort reservations and buying your own tickets for WDW. The only time I use a TA is for a Disney cruise because they usually offer onboard discounts. Check out mousesavers.com for ways to save on tickets at WDW. I hate paying full price for anything, and especially at WDW. Of course, we Florida residents can get some really good discounts, but you can also get room discounts if you have a Disney Visa, or have an AP. It pays to comparison shop and know the current discount codes (from Mousesavers).
Happy planning, GP.

She just wanted you to keep coming back and buying more tickets from her so she would get the commision on them. Really bad when we went to go sign up for AAA last year and they had NO idea what the diamond parking was and I had to explain it to them. GEEZZZZ! Just hire me. Granted this is from an area where not that many people have actually ever gone to Disney and some folks look at you like....(said in best hill billy voice)HUH??? Disneyworld, never heard of it. Does it have something to do with that there Mickey Rat guy? God I need to move somewhere there are not rednecks.

LOL...I told Kwahti this....there are like 3 or so types of ppl around here. REDNECKS, rednecks who like racing, rednecks who like Nascar and the sane ppl (like us) whom I like to call transplants. Case in point, one neighbor left another neighbor a present in the form of a dead bunny on her front step with a shot thru it's head as a joke. Recieving neighbor said that if it wouldnt have had the shot she would have skinned it,etc..BLECH! since it was still warm when she found it. GOD GET ME OUT OF THIS AREA!

Ugh there are rednecks I think in every part of the nation, I know I was shocked to find them in DC but yeehawww there they are. Course they at least know to stay out of the Metro (scared to death someone is gonna kill em) where as the SG tourists don't seem to read the signs saying Stand to the RIGHT walk to the LEFT and NO the Smithsonian stop will not get you to THE Smithsonian...there are a slew of buildings and that's not the closest stop to most of them

You mean the Metro doesn't run to the Air Space Annex at Dullas?!?!

If I ever get to the East Coast again my first stop is the Annex. I want to see the SR-71 and the Enola Gay.

I've got an open invitation for the cooks tour at the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson. Part of the tour will be to get inside the XB-70. That is one beautiful plane.

I have a friend down here who complains that "It is Tourist Season and the Fish and Game people won't either give me a license or tell my my daily limit".
