Where is Dennis Pharmacy moving to in June?

I know they are moving, but does anyone know what the new location is?

Where is Dennis Pharmacy moving to in June?

Stopped in at Dennis this pm and asked the same question... They do not know when they%26#39;re closing and they don%26#39;t know where the lunch counter is going to end up.

Where is Dennis Pharmacy moving to in June?

We had lunch there last Wednesday. The pharmacist told us they were targeting a June move. The pharmacy is moving somewhere in New Town, but I haven%26#39;t seen an exact loacation. An article in the Miami Herald said the diner is looking to relocate, but $$$ might be a problem.

Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure

Is it different admission for these parks? We only had one day planned for Universal in July. Which park is better for children 2, 4, 5 and 7? How far apart are the parks?

Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure

the parks are a few hundred metres apart and going well at a quiet time you could do both in one day, but its hard to pick,

you have shrek in universal which is a big pull and men in black. but i think jimmy neutron is closing ??? but there is et also and the animal planet show which as an adult even i enjoyed.

in the other park you have spinderman, dr zuss and the dionsaurs of jurassic park so its 50/50 but i%26#39;d there early and try and get both done, if you are there at opening you%26#39;ll get shrek out of the way early !!!

Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure

There is a different admission to each park. They are walking distance apart (5 minute adult walk) and if you rent a stroller in one park you can take the stroller to the other park with you. At Islands of adventure all the children will be able to go on rides in Seuss Landing, see Dr. Seuss characters, and the 5 and 7 year olds depending on their heights will be able to enjoy other rides like maybe the Spiderman ride and a few others. If they are into Spiderman, Captain America, Xmen and a few other super heroes they%26#39;ll be able to see them at this park. You%26#39;ll need to get a time schedule when you enter the park. In November when we were there the super heroes arrived at the top of most of the hours.

At Universal Studios they can see characters such as Jimmy Neutron, SpongeBob, Shrek, Scooby Do, Woody Wood Pecker, Penguins from Madagascar, Barney. The 2 %26amp; 4 year olds can go on and do things in the Kids Zone section where they have a small roller coaster, fun play areas one dry and one with water. You can also go see a Barney show and an Animal Planet Live show in this section. The 5 %26amp; 7 year olds, again depending on their heights, may be able to go on a couple rides like Men in Black and Back to the future. There%26#39;s also the Shrek 3-D that all can enjoy and the Jaws ride depening on if you think they%26#39;d be terrified or not.

We like both parks and each time we were there have visited both (our kids now are 3 %26amp; 5). Both times we went I have found the best deals and purchased my tickets from the Universal site www.universalorlando.com. They can run some good specials like kids free and three days free on each 2 day/2 park paid adult ticket or a non-expiring second day.

The parks are side by side. Admission is separate for each park. AAA is running a special where you get a free child%26#39;s ticket for each adult ticket (a great deal) and you can buy a 2-park pass. It%26#39;s a 2-day 2-park pass but they%26#39;ve added on 3 additional days for free. I think they are also offering this on the Universal Studios website. Both parks have great stuff for the kids. We%26#39;ve been doing both since my son was 1 1/2. We also have 4, now 6, 7, 10 and 13. Universal Studios has some great rides (Jimmy Neutron, Back to the Future, Shrek, Jaws (not too scary)) that all can enjoy. There%26#39;s an area for small kids with a Woody Woodpecker small rollercoaster and a Curious George water park. Also, Animal Planet does a show that%26#39;s great for the kids and a nice break. Islands of Adventure has bigger rides but also a really wonderfully done Dr. Seussland. Plus, even if someone is just waiting with the 2-year old, the people watching is great.

Wow thanks for the info. I have a lot to think about for our schedule. Different admission? Interesting.

I have rented a condo on the beach at the Gulf Strand Resort for a week on our honeymoon in July. Can anyone tell me if I have made a good choice? Were from Kentucky and have had to rely on Pics. off the internet for info. Also, we were assured we would have a gulf view, does it appear that all the condos have gulf views or what? I would appreciate any input!!!!

Curious

I really think you will like the Gulf Strand. It has the best beach access and lovely balconies off of each room. I think all the rooms do have a gulf view. (Check the candid photos on TA). I%26#39;m pretty sure you will enjoy your view.

The only down side is that is next door to the public access beach parking.

Another upside is that you have shopping right across the street (groceries, restaraunts, everything).

Curious

Thank you for your input swim, that reassures me quite a bit. It was a hard decision going on blind faith .........ummm ok. stupid question time. What candid pics. are you referring to?

When you view the list of hotels on TripAdvisor, it will give you one picture provided by the hotel and a like to other photos provided by the hotel. However, when you click on the hotel%26#39;s name, or in this case condo, it should have a link up at the top near the address that says ';View Candid Traveler Photos';. I submitted quite a few just last week and they should be accessible from there.

:) I don%26#39;t think that link is very noticeable there either. I keep hoping TripAdvisor will move it up to be accessible from where they list all of the hotels.

I just read the London reviewers review about the views overlooking the parking lot. That is true. It is not a straight shot looking out where you would see nothing else but water unless you are on the end of hte building closest to the beach.

Did you find the pictures? If that doesn%26#39;t look like what you were wanting, I don%26#39;t recall any condos on St. Pete Beach that are laid out longwise along the beach so that every room has a dead on view but Madeira Beach is full of them. Las Brisas, Kima, Ocean Sands, Sea Breeze are just a few. I%26#39;d beware of Sea Breeze though as it has some some bad reviews despite having possibly the best beach and prettiest views.

We have been coming to st pete beach for many years. This year our neighbors stayed at the Gulf Strand and were very pleased. Her only complaint was that it was small for her family, but that won%26#39;t be a problem in your case. The grocery store is across the street and you can actually walk to some fun restaurants. As mentioned in other replies, the condo sits at a right angle to the beach. For good beach grub go to Crabby BIll%26#39;s and order something like the blackened grouper sandwich. 24 years ago we spent our honeymoon in Clearwater. Best wishes!!

For pictures go go google.com click on images and enter gulf strand. Quite a few come up.

Jet boat rental at WDW resorts

We love boats and jet-ski%26#39;s and plan on hiring out at a wdw resort. Can you hire on the day or do you need to pre book. Also, does anyone have any info on the cost involved? thanks.

Jet boat rental at WDW resorts

You might just find that you carnt now just walk into a hire shop and hire one.

There has been so many realy bad accidents with jet skies i belive they have placed restrictions on hire.

I do belive you do now have to prove that you are a competent person with some paperwork /qulification

Jet boat rental at WDW resorts

Hello pinkdiamond,

We have always been able to walk up and grab a boat however I would check at the dock of your resort after arrival and check on how busy they are during your visit. A Canopy which fits 8 people is $27.00 for half hour, Pontoon $42.00. SeaRaycers are $24.00 for half hour.

I typed ';marina'; in to the search function at www.waltdisneyworld.com and found that you can call (407) 939-0754 for information.

Marina Rentals

Choose from a fleet of motorized and non-motorized craft that are available for rent. Sea Raycer by Sea Ray庐 boats, sailboats, SunTRACKER pontoon boats, Boston Whaler Montauk boats*, pedal boats, kayaks and canoes are some of the items available at various Walt Disney World庐 Resort hotels.

Available at:

Disney%26#39;s Beach Club Resort

Disney%26#39;s Caribbean Beach Resort

Disney%26#39;s Contemporary Resort

Disney%26#39;s Port Orleans Resort

Disney%26#39;s Grand Floridian Resort %26amp; Spa

Disney%26#39;s Polynesian Resort

Disney%26#39;s Wilderness Lodge

Disney%26#39;s Yacht Club Resort

Disney%26#39;s Fort Wilderness Resort %26amp; Campground

Disney%26#39;s Old Key West Resort

Disney%26#39;s Coronado Springs Resort

Downtown Disney庐 Marketplace

* *Boston Whaler Montauk boats currently not available at Downtown Disney庐 Area, where canopy boats may be rented instead.

Just from what I saw, a canopy or pontoon looks best. The racer, by Searay, idles at best. Nothing goes faster than putt putt. At least have some shade!

The rentals are by the half hour. I don%26#39;t think you can book the regular rentals ahead of time, only the rentals that include a driver. I%26#39;ve never seen the marinas totally empty even on really busy days. There are a limited number of canopy and pontoon boats though, so if they don%26#39;t have one at the first resort you go to, hop on the monorail and try another. Our family has found it to be more economical to rent one canopy boat instead of two or three of the smaller boats, and the canopy boats go plenty fast enough.

February 2007 Wedding - need recommendations!

Hello all. I%26#39;m recently engaged and looking for a beautiful, reasonably-priced ceremony/reception site in the LBK area. I%26#39;ve researched AMI already...Sandbar Restaurant seems very popular but may be TOO casual???

My fiance and I are headed down to visit from Atlanta in April and I%26#39;d like to have a solid list of venues to visit by then. So far on my list...Sandbar, The Sun House, LBK Club %26amp; Resort. Any others that I%26#39;m overlooking???

The wedding will be about 100 people or so...informal on the beach...but NOT tacky or cheesy. Seems there is a fine line... Please help - I%26#39;m interested in hearing any and all advice. Thanks!

February 2007 Wedding - need recommendations!

I%26#39;m not sure about your wedding plans, but I can tell you about two places you can stay at for your honeymoon. Little Gull Cottages is a beautiful place for a romantic honeymoon. It is right on the beach and is more of a private beach. Wicker Inn is another romantic getaway surrounded by gorgeous tropical plants and a quick walk down a path to the beach. I have stayed in both places and loved it. this is just a soggestion. Please check them out.

February 2007 Wedding - need recommendations!

Hi there,

My husband and I used to live in Atlanta and were married in LBK 4/04. We were married at the Hilton which we found reasonably priced and made for a beautiful wedding spot. I know since we were married there, they have done a lot of renovations. I don%26#39;t know if you checked with them already, but I remember them working with our budget, too. We were married on the beach and had our reception indoors at their Antigua Room. I would be happy to send you a link to wedding photos or answer any questions you may have. I checked out all the same spots you are checking out. I did find that the Sandbar was too casual for us. Oh, and we had a little under 100 ppl.

You can email me at erikabotfeld@gmail.com

Good luck,

Erika

Confused on reviews for this hotel - nothing new lately...

Has anyone heard anything about Ramada Plaza Marco Polo Beach Resort? There are some very ugly reviews but some positive as well. Nothing seems real current. Anyone lately?

Confused on reviews for this hotel - nothing new lately...

Not family friendly, ethnic senior citizen haven.

Confused on reviews for this hotel - nothing new lately...

Is that for the entire Sunny Isles area or just this one place in particular?

Sunny Isles Beach is known as very family friendly beach unlike South Beach which is topless,an adult playground.

Where do you want to stay? Sunny Isles is a small area in North Miami Beach. It is about a 30 min. drive from South Beach. It%26#39;s not a bad location, but it is a more mature crowd (40s+) and more family-oriented. Not much to do around there except hit the beach of go shopping at Aventura Mall (located 5 mins. away). A nice hotel in that area would be the Trump Sonesta Sunny Isles.

I%26#39;ve just been there (2006-Apr-6 to 2006-Apr-9).

This hotel has gotten really hammered by people in this forum. It%26#39;s not that bad. They are in the process of replacing the carpeting in the hallways. The rooms are large and have fridges in them that actually get cold. The rooms are clean... they%26#39;re a bit dated, but I had no problems with the rooms being dirty. There was some wallpaper peeling in my room, but nothing to freak out about.

People need to keep in mind that this is a Ramada, not a Windham or Marriott. If you demand 5 star service open up your wallet and pay for it, don%26#39;t expect it from a 3 star resort.

I also saw someone mention roaches... saw only one and that was down by the pool/beach well away from the hotel.

The A/C was a little noisy, but I turned it off and had the window open most of the time because I don%26#39;t like A/C. You can turn the fan down and that cuts the noise.

There is a free breakfast that is pretty much muffins, bagels, bread, cereal... standard stuff. Only one toaster and there%26#39;s usually a line for it.

There is an $8 a day resort fee that seems a little unnecessary. Also the parking situation isn芒聙聶t the best. Only valet and there aren芒聙聶t many options. Meter parking across the street, but it芒聙聶s a quarter for each 15 minutes and they run 24/7. Valet was supposed to be $8 a day, but when a friend came to visit me there he had to pay $10.

Also had some trouble at checkout. We booked a flight/hotel package through U.S. Air and the hotel kept asking us for a voucher from them for the room. We didn芒聙聶t have one and almost got charged for the room twice. We got U.S. Air on the phone and they were going to take care of it.

There is a grocery store in walking distance to the hotel (a Publix). They have beer and wine... and groceries. That芒聙聶s a few blocks south of the hotel. A few blocks south of the Publix are some restaurants in a small strip mall. I ate at two of them芒聙娄 I forget their names, but they were good.

The beach is nice芒聙娄 big and practically empty when I was there. Ocean was nice, too. Pool was hot芒聙娄 very hot. They need to knock the heater down a few notches. It was like swimming in a big hot tub.

You芒聙聶re going to be far from Miami Beach and South Beach. Tried to save some money and took a bus to SoBe. It was $1.50 each way, but took 40 芒聙聯 45 minutes each direction. Not bad if you芒聙聶re not in a rush. This hotel is almost in the middle of Ft. Lauderdale and SoBe.

I picked up a hack cab at the airport. He was charging $40 to get to this hotel芒聙娄 he got us lost and it ended up taking an extra 30 to 40 minutes to get there. Will never take an unlicensed taxi again.

That芒聙聶s all I can think of. Overall I would stay at this hotel again. Very good location for kids芒聙娄 will keep them out of trouble since it芒聙聶s out of the craziness of SoBe and Miami Beach.

Hope this helps.
