Have you taken the kids to Disney before? We're going to Orlando on a business trip and taking some time for a little vacation while we're out there and it will be the first time we've taken a real vacation it Emma who is 2 1/2 now. Any tips for traveling with the kids?

Ok I just went on Expedia and did some comparing.

Bellagio- $716 pp
Treasure Island- $647pp
Gloden Nugget- $532pp
Hard Rock- $609 pp
Las Vegas Hilton- $580pp
Harrah's- $581pp

Las Vegas May 20-22 air/hotel 3 days/2 nights
Bellagio $670pp
Treasure Island-$519pp
Gloden nugget- $484pp

Not too much of a difference and one extra night. So what ballers are in?

Lyn, I'm a vacation newb (never been on one) but is that the cost for a flight/hotel? I guess what I'm asking is what's included at that price.

Yes, those prices include air and hotel.

Give her LOTS of gum, then she can't choke because she won't be able to swallow the gum.


<--- future father of the year

And to think the wife thinks you're one of my brighter friends....

[SVT Lurch]

Hadn't thought of that. Yeah, she's long past the bottle phase, but I'm worried with gum she'd try to swallow it and choke. Hmmm.

I know, Leah. Just giving you shit.
This vacation is the only one we do each year, so we try to really vacate.


Steve, if you're flying then you'll want to keep gum on hand for Emma. Even though she has likely outgrown a bottle, they also work great to equalize the pressure in her ears.

Awesome! I'm not saying it's a bad deal or anything, but we just can't do something that big right now. We are already planning to take the kids to Disney this year. That would be a badass vaca!

St. FUCKING Thomas!!

In a resort that has everything all on the same beach. This beach I speak of is personal to said resort. There is not another hotel or resort in the cove.

In fact, the other resorts/hotels on the island can almost guarantee a hike to even get to a beach, some as far as one mile.

We also get a sunset cruise, snorkeling with sea turtles, and a loooot more.

Bolongo Bay Beach resort is a family run resort. We got in good with the owners last time, and they like to party. We'll be partying with them again, so who knows what they'll get us into.

That would truly kickass!! However, I am not saying that.

$422 per night. We'll be there 5 nights.

That's $2110.

The plane ride will be $480 for both of us roundtrip.

So a total of $2590 for the two of us.

Nice! I think it's a very reasonable price for that nice of a vacation. Beachfront room and all. Now that's a kickass vacation.

[Snatch Napkin]

Yeah, fuck that.
