    A few of you asked about buying your Disney tickets in the USA.

    Well this FREE ticket calculator is awesome. It allows you to enter what you are after and it tells you the best tickets and where to get it from

    Has anyone any experience of the mercury grand marquis? It looks like a house on wheels, I presume it's just a standard gas guzzling boat to drive?

    I've ordered one (or similar) through usrentacar.
    Remember the time he ate my goldfish? And you lied and said I never had goldfish. Then why did I have the bowl Bart? Why did I have the bowl?

    [FONT=&quot]I think you all might find this very funny.

    As you know I try and help anyone who has a Disney or Orlando question. I am not the worlds best expert but I think I can add value and share my experiences.

    Well I also help on a few other websites and will be doing a podcast soon. Anyway one website www.wdisneyw.com has banned me!

    Why? Well this site is a bit naughty really. They say they are a Disney fan site but I was advising certain people to try this company or that agent and becuase they had advertisers on there they told me to stop. I refused because a) I am a grown up and do not really like being told what to do, b) I had read all of their terms of posing and was not in breach of any and c) because the people I suggested where cheaper!

    Anyway I got some threats from a very stroppy admin moderator and then I went to log on and was banned. So much for free speech eh?

    So all I would say is get your information from more than one source. Do not just trust one site as it may censor posts to protect revenue and you are not getting impartial advice.

    Unfortunately an excellent Podcast by Adam called the DisneyBrit I'd linked to it. That podcast is excellent and I suggest you all download it and check out www.disneybrit.com

    I shall continue here and help all I can. I have thick skin so am not upset I just think its a sad reflection on that site

    Cheers

    I am fine honest :)

    I think if they get money from sponsoring then fine, be open about it and tell people that's how its funded. But they were not and refused to and they just deleted any posts that sent people to other sites that had other products.

    Anyway it was not as good as MSE anyway :)

    Sorry to hear about your experience Craig, just goes to show you though!!

    I'm now sick in Kissimmee and everyone else is at MK and I've just made it out of bed for the first time (other than going to a walk in centre to see a doctor this morning!). They give you tonnes of meds here but so far I've not actually taken them as I don't agree with taking lots of antibiotics unless absolutely necessary but may do tomorrow if I am still bad!! I'm trying to drink gatorade to rehydrate me!!
