What is the best way (pricewise)to book a family vacation to disney world for 14 people?|112831

I am looking to book a trip for 14 to disney world fl. and I would liketo have a comfortable condo at a reasonable price. Also if there are any sugestions for park tickets that would save me money.

How fun!!!

Go thru disney. They will have deals for _good neighbor_ hotels that include park hopper tickets.

Check disney.com or call a travel agent. If you buy tickets and a place to stay seperately, it will more pricey.

don_t go

Get discounted park tickets through one of these legitimate vendors:

Disney Store
AAA (membership required)
Costco or Sam_s Club (Membership required)

My husband and I own a timeshare and sometimes stay at Fantasyworld Vacation Villas in Kissimmee. They are very nice. You can also look into the Best Western Lakeside - which is a wonderful resort with ajoining rooms.

Have a great time!

I don_t know if you ever heard of Coastal but they have some great vacation packages that you can purchase once and can use it for the rest of your life. these are 15,000.00$ and upwards packages for pennies on the dollar. You don_t have to sell these packages to own one. Here is the website you can check out
http://www.shahansdestinations.com
. It is a home based biz site but go on check out the packages(which are cheaper when purchased as just a package), then call the 1-800# and give them the ID code 7973LS and tell them you are interested in a package only not the biz or you can buzz me at 1-866-562-1967. Hope you find what your looking for and GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY!!! (If you check out the site, it is a biz site and you start receiving emails just subscribe)

Traveling with 14 people, you may want to take a look at renting a vacation home instead of a condo. You may want to consider renting one of the homes with 5+ bedrooms. If you want to split up your travel group then you may want to consider renting two 4 bedroom homes. You may also qualify for additional discounts by using the _group travel_ method.

I am doing the same thing this year but we have 17 people going. The cheapest way is going to be to rent a villa. The best site I have found is www.VRBO.com. They have tons of homes. You are probably going to need a 6 or 7 bedroom yourself - it depends on how the families are divided. They are running anywhere from 1800 up to 3000 for the off season. Check them out.

The best way for you to go to Disney World with 14 people is to camp there and for you to drive there from where every you are right now and you you to go at the beginning of spring and end of winter. Also get park passes before you go there so you don_t have to pay for them there. If you say on property you will get to go to a park early (early hours) and leave later then everyone else. I hope this helps.

its going to be EXPENSIVE no matter which method you use. For all those things, you would have to book direct with disney.com possibly

Is it safe to visit the civil rights center in Memphis Tn?|194192

I have heard from a few different people that the area that the civil rights museum is in is very dangerous and was told not to go there, but I have a friend who is set on visiting it.

Does anyone know if this is a bad idea or not? I am familiar enough with Memphis to know that there are places you just don_t go. If anyone knows about the safety of this area, I would appreciate any advice.

Thanks.

certain times are not like after 9 when everywhere gets dark as long as your not alone you should be fine oh yeah don_t be flashy?

How long does it take to drive from New York to New Jersey?|172601

Okay, so I am writing a story which involves a trip from NY to NJ. Since I don_t live in either states so I_m asking this. How long will it take to drive from New York to New Jersey? And on the way, what kind of view would one get?

OK, it_s about 14 miles from NYC to Newark, and it would take around a half-hour, and the link below is to a map with turn-by-turn directions...

However, bear in mind that very few New Yorkers have cars, so, in reality, the person would probably NOT drive there, they would almost certainly take public transportation, buses and trains, so the second link, below is a map of how to do it that way!...

I_ll take it from the Holland Tunnel-depending on traffic, 1/2 hr.

Take Routes 1 _ 9 South (Pulaski Skyway) for 5 miles to the _Newark and the Oranges_ exit.

Views along the way, before Newark: parts of Jersey City, freight yards, PATH train yard, huge postal distribution center in Kearny, either the Passaic or Hackensack River, Newark skyline, including the Prudential building (I think it_s the tallest building).

Manhattan to Newark....
Any number of routes.
From lower Manhattan there are the Lincoln _ Holland tunnels... no views until you reach NJ highways ...mostly flatland on NJ turnpike ,some views of Manhattan, parts of the Meadowlands _ Newark airport
There is the George washington bridge at the north end....longer route
West Side Highway follows the Hudson river .
NJ is visible all the way .
If taken from the lower end the W. Side hwy has views of the NY Piers, west side high rise apts ( Trump Towers) upper west side , riverside park .parts of Harlem _ NJ Palisades..
Once across the Hudson into Ft. Lee , NJ local Hwys to NJTP south into Newark area.
Tunnel routes are shorter _ less scenic.
Either route can take an hour or more depending on time of day.
Best regards

It still depends: where in New York and where in Newark.

On a good day, the Newark Airport might be only 10-15 minutes away once you get out of the Lincoln Tunnel. But going through downtown Newark can be bad, and driving through Manhattan, especially through the tunnel, can be really bad.

A half hour to 45 minutes might be a save guesstimate from Manhattan. More from Brooklyn or Queens.

Watch the opening of the Sopranos for the view from the helix coming out of the Lincoln Tunnel as for the time to drive it all depends on where in NY you_re coming from and where in Jersey and the time of day

depending on where in Jersey you are going,maybe 40-45 minutes depending on traffic and again where you are going in Jersey

It depends where you_re coming from and where you_re going to. I suggest you go to maps on google to be more precise.

20 minutes. From Fort Lee, NJ to NYC is 5 minutes right across the bridge.

It totally depends where you are in NJ. It_s a pretty big state.
