Going to disney in orlando for two weeks, How much spending money do I need?|156339

I have this question before but there have been some changes. I need to pay for tips for 10 meals and lunch for 15 days for two people. We are going to all the parks. How much do i need we want to buy stuff to bring back but we are on benefits so it will be hard to save. How much do you think i need to save?

I do the Disney Candlelight Services in December, and I get free tickets, so I know a lot about the parks.

A meal at the Disney park is about $10 per meal, per person, drink included.

Unless you go to a fancier restaurant in the park , It is not necessary to tip at the parks.

Epcot and Magic Kingdom have the most to DO, ride wise. You_ll probably spend the WHOLE day at them. Hollywood Studios, my friend and I went through in like 3 hours, and we were bored. There is the tower of terror and rockin roller coaster and the toy story ride. Those are the most fun. Animal Kingdom is fun, but in the summer its HOT. The animals tend to get out of the sun, and they usually only come out in the morning, so get there early if you want to see them.

You might also look into packing sandwiches to take into the park to save you some major bucks. They allow backpacks, but they also have to be checked. So you might want to pack some water bottles to save you a good $3-4.

I would also stay at a Disney Resort, because Parking is $12 per day. And if you stay at a Disney Resort they shuttle you to the park or to the monorail station. Or you take a Disney Bus from Downtown Disney (free parking) to the Contemporary Resort for Magic Kingdom or Epcot... Monorail hopping :)

Pop Century resort is cheaper than most of the hotels in the area, and it is a Disney hotel, so they allow you to get on the bus and take you where you want to go.

Everything is very overpriced. So bring more than you think you will actually spend, plus if you have a visa, they have places to get money out at.

Hope this helps.

It honestly depends! Me and my boyfriend are going in October, but we want to have the most amazing holiday we can have and do EVERYTHING and not have to worry about how much money we have, so we are taking over ��2000 and that is for food, souvenirs and also going to Universal Studios, Busch Gardens and Seaworld. Oh and by the way, if you are planning on going to all the parks (Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, Busch Gardens etc etc) The is something you can buy called a FlexiTicket plus, that allows you two weeks entry into all the parks for much less than if you were paying for them separately (:

Honey you can make Disney World really expensive or a little less. I_ve been five times and the first time we went we bought all of the pictures and little gimmicks they sold everywhere. The next time we went we made our own pictures and ate at their food courts which made it a cheaper trip. Whatever you have to spend it_s so worth the money. I was 50 years old before I could afford to go for the first time.

Perhaps you may want to shorten your vacation time. Orlando is one of the top tourist places in the States to visit. Cost really adds up. Especially if you_re planning to go to all the parks...I suggest staying @ a hotel that offers free perks such as continental breakfast, pools, free wifi, kitchen, etc...also, I recommend eating at places like McDonald_s, cafes. etc...Just to enter the park; the price is close to $80+ per person...it_s more costly when you eat inside the parks...

im taking my wife and 2 children on 15th september ive paid hotel and flight sports resort ��2456 .tickets disney ultimate x3 adult X1 child and adult flex plus x3 plus 1 child cost ��1348 and im taking ��3000 spends and a car four 2 weeks ��300 total cost ��7104 its expensive

for residence, try:

florida-villas.com

i got a nice villa with a pool, a Jacuzzi, 4 rooms, 3 bathrooms 5 tv_s and it_s near everything for almost 120$ a day

Disney is really really really expensive!!!!! every extra gift is at least 3 times as much as you would think it is... no joke. meals are no different. sooo... yeah.

who can say....it depends on what you do and what you bring back no one can tell you how much.....

about ��500 - ��1000 maybe more depending

Is the area of Brooklyn surrounding the Halsey St J train safe to live in?|165679

Obviously this is an opinion-based question, but I_m looking at an apartment near bushwick _ hancock and I_m trying to do more research. There_s a lot of cheap places in that general area, and I just don_t know if that_s a good thing or a bad thing.

DON_T DO IT!

You are in Bushwick, bordering East New York, the ROUGHEST area in New York City!

Spend a little extra and find something else. This would be a NIGHTMARE for you to move into this area. Seriously.

no.

i wouldn_t live anywhere the J train runs, except for Williamsburg or well into Queens.

those places are cheap for a reason.

Bushwick is not the greatest neighborhood in Brooklyn....There is a reason why the rent is _cheap_ plus most of the apts are owned by slumlords and they do not take care of them....I would look in a different neighborhood then Bushwick try Bedsty

No. i would not go there

Bushwick and basically the whole area surrounding it in Brooklyn is creepy. It_s a very dangerous neighborhood.

What are fun things to do in San Francisco?|131886

I_m planning my friends 18th birthday in the City, and I need ideas.
Nothing like a strip club, just fun things to do in the City.
Any ideas will be great.

I love dim sum at the Gold Palace in Chinatown! 644 Broadway -- get there early, though -- like at 11 a.m. for lunch. Then go right across the street to the pastry shop and get a dessert. Or rent the little cars that look like midget racers and zip around the city. They are called Go Tours or something like that. Take the trolly to Fisherman_s Wharf and walk down to Pier 39 to see the seal lions and cruise through all the shops on the pier. Go to the Haight, hang out in a coffee shop and watch all the hippie-wannabees. Go to the Ferry Building and buy cheese, bread and meat and then hang out in the park across the street. There is a TON of stuff to do!

Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.

What are the most popular bus companies in California?|153077

I am trying to plan a few round trips from northern California (Davis) to southern California (San Diego). What bus companies (preferably those with inexpensive fares) - other than the Greyhound and Amtrak - can take me across the state?

Not sure, but I think the only other option would be a charter company.

How can make school reinvent the Mardi Gras theme?|163589

We_re doing a fashion show and might have a Mardi Gras theme. The theme is a little cliche now with the masks and colors but, how could we make it new and refreshing? What can we do different from other Mardi Gras parties? Any ideas or tips?

Mardi Gras is known for its music and the beads. Why not recruit the band department to play traditional music for the models to walk to. The models can throw beads to the audience as they are walking....

You can have all the models wear mardi gras mask. They are different than halloween mask. Have you seen them? There like a piece of art . Check out www.brunacostumes.com for some ideas on masks

Well...it_s Zulu_s 100 year anniversary this year. You can do some research on that Krewe and come up with some fabulous ideas and costumes and _throws_.

Get back to some of the original ideas of Mardi Gras.

It might get controversial though, and the school may not approve.

just use mardi gras colors. Use beads and maybe make second line parade for the something.

How is the job market in the San Francisco Bay Area right now?|134744

I_ve been hearing that there are a lot of people losing jobs in the Bay Area. However, I would like to know how the job market is. Especially in the Pharmaceutical and Biotech fields. Is it as bad as people say it is?

Can anyone tell me how good and bad the job market is in San Francisco Bay Area?

If you have no powerful referral, most time you will not get interview.

Bachelor degree in biotech, average $35K a year. No PhD needed.

The job market in San Francisco, CA is pretty bad right now with people getting laid off and many peoples salary getting cut. A good job in SF that makes good money is a Doctor since there are a few disease outbreaks around.

The people in the pharmaceutical industry are taking there left overs and selling them to the 420 club up in santa cruz those guys will buy anything.

How did Highland park become as bad of an area it is?|133384

It_s worse than the place formerly known as Cabenie Green that used to be in Chicago.

Hamtramack and Highland Park have got to be the worst parts of Detroit.

Why hasn_t anyone given any consideration to cleaning up these places?

Hamtramack and Highland Park are separate cities that happen to be surrounded by Detroit. Detroit has nothing to do with those cities.
I can_t say much for Hamtramack, except there used to be a lot of Polish people there. They had nice stores, and a feeling of safeness.
Highland Park was once a city were the elite lived, you could probably compare it to today_s Birmingham. They had lots of small shops, was where Henry Ford had his first assembly line. Chrysler_s world headquarters were there until the 90_s. The Davison Freeway was the FIRST freeway in the world ( all 2.8 miles of it)
Highland Park is the birthplace of Bill Haley, the artist who first made music that later became known as rock_n_ roll.
The Ford plant gave birth to Hazel Park ( known as a bedroom community) The workers couldn_t afford to live in Highland Park.
My Dad spent the early part of his life in Highland Park, he showed me the house that he grew up in, it was a mansion.
Take a drive through Highlan Park, you can see the once lavish homes.....all wasted.
There is still some industry in Highland Park but 90% of its gone. I don_t know how they exist with no Tax base. What that and those city_s need is major investment.

DRUGS. Plain and simple. Drugs and poverty took over Highland park and turned it into a land of crackheads and prostitutes.

Hamtramck is nowhere near as bad as Highland Park. Both these towns are broke as crap though so they don_t even have the money to clean it up if they wanted to.

Maybe if the Mayor stops getting lawsuits thrown at him, we_d have more money to help these cities out.

No one that lives in Highland Park cares. I don_t know about Hamtramack.
Neither has any industry for a tax base. Any companies that were viable left them decades ago.

When the economy changed in the 1960s people started taking single family homes and turning them into apartments. The people living there didn_t have the right to fix things up (because they were renters) or the money (economic downturn) and things just got worse and worse.

While there are huge problems with drugs and some people don_t care, most of the people there care about their community but don_t have the tax base in the city government to do much about it. There have been recent improvements and development in the area, including a new very nice strip mall with an Aldi.

Hamtramck is a vibrant community with a lot of eclectic shops, etc. It is NOT the worst part of Detroit.

That is solid evidence that political figure heads like Kwame Kilpatrick only cared about the welfare of his own neighbor hood and ignores the needs of the rest of the city.

Let_s just say that the area doesn_t have a very high rate of intellegence.......
