How do you get to Manhattan from Newark airport?|140551

And how much does it cost?

Go to the Ground Transportation Desk and book for the Big Blue Bus. It_ll cost about $20. They_ll take you to your destination. Far cheaper than a cab.

If you_ve got lots of luggage I would suggest a taxi for convenience.

I did it a few months ago for $75.00 incl tolls and tip which, if you_re in the UK like me, is not a lot of money.
When you get to the cab stand at Newark, there_ll be a taxi marshall, they will give you a slip detailing the costs and bring the cab forward for you, give the slip to the driver.
It_s really easy and there_s no arguing over the cost, the driver will stick to the slip he_s been given.
Have a good trip!

P.S. You_ll probably get told during and in-flight tourist guide not to take a cab (We did on a Continental flight), take no notice, really straight forward and no hassle.

Take the AirTrain to the NJ Transit _Newark International Airport_ station. From there get a NJ Transit train to NY Penn Station (33rd St and 7th Av/8th Av)

The cost is $15.00 one way and includes the fare/fee to use the AirTrain. Purchase tickets from ticket machines at the AirTrain station. Schedules for trains that stop there (and go to Manhattan) are posted there as well.

the easiest way is to take a cab but that isn_t cheap from Newark, if your going to a specific hotel then there is probably a shuttle. If your renting a car for a little bit then take the New Jersey Turnpike to the Lincoln tunnel and that will bring you to Manhattan, the toll is only like $.75

Is it better to the same price to buy Disney tickets online or at the parks?|164252

I_m heading to Disney next week and was deciding on buying park hopper tickets when I got there or if I should get them on disney online. If it_s the same price I_d like to wait till we get there. Also, Should I but the extra hours? I don_t want to spend the money if it_s usually not that crowded and we get into the rides we want during normal hours.

It_s going to be the same price online or in Disney. However, if you are staying on Disney property, you can call your hotel and have tickets added to your reservation. This will help you avoid waiting in line to get your tickets, but also is better than ordering them online and risking them not reaching you before you leave for your trip.

If you_re not staying at Disney property, I would still wait until you get to the park to buy your ticket. Remember, you can go at anytime to buy your tickets, you don_t have to go and wait in line as soon as the park opens. You could go the day you arrive, buy your tickets at the ticket _ transportation center, and then begin park hopping the next day.

If you_re staying on Disney property, extra magic hours are included with your ticket. You_ll need to show your resort ID and you will be allowed into the park. The wristbands have been discontinued, but you will be asked to repeatedly show your resort ID throughout the evening.

Another option that you can purchase, is Mickey_s Very Merry Christmas Party. Anybody can buy this ticket, it is not included in a park ticket, and it is not restricted to resort guests. It_s a holiday party w/special events, characters in holiday costumes, a holiday parade _ fireworks, _snow_ on main street, and free cocoa _ cookies. It is a lot of fun, and something you could consider purchasing if you didn_t get everything done in the parks during the day. The rides for the most part are still open during the event.

Here is a list of December_s extra magic hours. Each day a park will open one hour early, and another will close 3 hours late, for resort guests of course.

And here_s a link to information about Mickey_s Very Merry Christmas Party:


http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/par��

ok well the price is the same online and at the parks. so if you want to wait you won_t loose out on a deal or anything. the only thing is you will be waiting in a long line to buy them at the park but other than that all the options are the same and the price is the same.

and you can_t buy the extra magic hours. the extra hours are a benefit of staying at a disney world resort hotel. the only people that get extra hours are hotel guests. everyone else has to leave when the park closes. and the people from the disney hotels get a wrist band to wear so they can be identified as being aloud to use the extra magic hours.
but don_t worry you will get pleanty done at the parks. it really doesn_t get crowded until dec 21st. next week is actually an ideal time to go cuz the crowds are light and the christmas season is in full swing.

have fun!

They are the same price, but the advantage is you don_t have to wait in line. And it sounds like you will hit the Christmas crowd, meaning it will be insanely busy. So I would highly recommend buying them ahead of time. However, don_t listen to some of the advice given - don_t buy except from an authorized dealer. Like you said, buying from Disney direct is best. EBay is not a legitimate place to buy tickets.

You cannot purchase extra hours. On certain days in certain parks, guests staying at a Disney resort ONLY are eligible to either go in early or stay late. You cannot purchase this benefit - you receive it for free if you are a resort guest.

We just got back a few weeks ago and I strongly recommend buying them online. It just saves so much hassle once you get to the parks. Also, if you check it out online, you can purchase better package options (disney dining plan, etc.) while having time to decide what you do and don_t need. The extra hours are great for riding those rides that the lines were just way too long for earlier in the day.
Hope you have a great vacation!

if it is the same price either way then go ahead and buy them at the park.If you start they day of when they open just go to the back of the park first and work your way to the front.That way you get on more rides and wait in less lines.

They_re the same price, but if you buy and print them online you don_t have to wait in the ticket line! That ticket lines get long and everyone tries to cut you... (shudders).

A friend told me the best deal was to buy them on ebay. I have never tried it but I suspect he is right:

probably online, you never know someone could be selling them

Downtown apartments close to Cleveland State University?|188224

I grew up in a east-side suburb of Cleveland, and am now going to school in South Carolina.I am planning to transfer to CSU for fall 2009 school year, and am trying to find affordable, cool apartments in the downtown area. The closer to CSU the better. If any current students live in the downtown area near school, with good amenities and prices let me know! Thanks.

There are some nice lofts on 18th _ St. Clair or Superior sorry I can_t remember which but they are right behind the police department and you can get to CSU in less than 5 minutes walking. I hear they are pretty reasonably priced.
There is a lot of development going on downtown by the Fall _09 school year some of those deveopments may be finished. I know a lot of people who went to CSU lived in the Chesterfield building on 12th street. I think it_s like $650 for a one bedroom.
If you don_t mind living in dorms Fenn Towers I hear is really nice.

I_ve been a Viking for 4 years now and I love it!!! There are so many housing options out there- check out forrent.com for off campus... on campus- there are 2 great dorms Viking Hall and Fenn Tower. Check out csuohio.edu and search for residence life. I lived in viking for 2 years- and loved it!

I lived in an apartment complex (can_t remember the name of the life of me) that was on E30th St between Euclid and the street just below it. It wouldn_t recommend going past E30th street. The apt was alright, nice location in regards to the school. A friend of mine lived on 12th in a high rise and they had a grocery store on the bottom floor as well as a parking garage and pool. It was pretty nice. Sorry I cant remember the names of the places.

45 minutes ago - 3 days left to answer.

lofty goals...take a bus.

ARE YOu serious???? its a goood cause and all but from SF 2 DC thats a lillte bit 2 far isnt it

my friend planned a walk form oregon to dc and did it plus more!!! Hers was for epilpsy as well...when she got close to dc, she was having so much fun, she headed south to fl and then up to new england before heading to the steps of the capital in DC...she sent an invitation to dinner to local nonprofit leaders, had her plan ready to prepared for them and they all showed up at the dinner. most could not help immensely but she left with 6k and met all kinds of incredible people along the way...she simply handed out a simple awareness sheet about her cause and had a simple laminated photo journal that grew along the way...as she met people, they called friends or family as well as news media in locations they knew that were on her itinerary and most places had a heads up that she was coming. Many people she met offered her a room or a couch or a dinner, some hotels offered her a room and a meal and She often stayed in churches and firestations but had a tent in case things did not work out. She always contributed by helpng with chores and was received well because she presented herself well. her friends and family mailed her stamps and phone cards and she stuck to her planned route so she could recieve mail at general delivery in cities she visited. She pushed a cart with her stuff on it and occasionally someone would transport her cart from one location to another. She kept it low key, never begged, was raising awareness not funds and was treated well. She walked about 2 years and still talks about it every day. She planned well up front. If you research kbwalk, you may still find some old articles on the internet. Good Luck
