Thanks for the tip. I read Alec was in Disneyworld. From the air, it sure looked like a beautiful lagoon with prestine beaches. Joyce sounds like you really love Disneyworld, going back so often! Appreciate your offer. Vacation is fun, planning is not.

Sometimes 5 star hotel may not be the best place to stay at. In Vegas, those expensive new big hotels are not as fun for the kids as the cheap Excalibur. In Waikiki, Halikalani maybe the best hotel, but turned out to be quite boring for kids. In Miami, my wife and I stay at the big fancy Marriott, 2 days later we moved to a dump in South Beach that didn't even have a phone in the room but we had a blast.

Once my "previous" travel agent booked us in a Hyatt in Paris, since we've been to Paris many times, the address looked like airport to me, but that stupid agent insisted otherwise. (Well, she's a pro, she must known better). Turned out we had to take taxi from Paris North station in the middle of Paris out of town 2 hours to one of the 3 Paris airports, US$200 taxi fare. There was absolutely nothing near that Hyatt, I was SOOOO angry at that travel agent, still am. I see her once awhile in parties, I still would like to kill her.

It is not easy to pick the right hotel without being there or knowing someone with experience. Thanks for the offer.
