cheap kitchen tables for small spaces image
PM
My husband and I really want to take our 3 children to Disney World this year without paying a small fortune. I don't know if we should use a travel agent or if someone knows of a legit website that has great deals. I notice that most of the deals on the Disney website are for a party of 4 and we have 5. Any information would be helpful.
Thanks a bunch.

Do you want to stay on property or are you willing to go off property?
We like to stay in a rented home in Davenport, which is about a 10 minute drive from WDW. We have our own private pool and everyone gets a bedroom, if you get a big enough place. Check HomeAway.com. You might also like Kissimmee, which is across the highway from WDW.

If you want to be closer and want a hotel, but still don't mind being off property, check out the DoubleTree Inn at Downtown Disney. Technically, it's not on property, but actually it's across the street from Downtown Disney East. I believe you can even use the Disney bus if you walk over.

If you do want to be on property, you might look at one of the lodges at Fort Wilderness Campground and Resort. They have cabins, which have a kitchen and one bedroom.

According to AllEars (link above - about halfway down),
"The 407 Wilderness Cabins (WC) are about 12' x 42'. There is a wood deck outside, with a picnic table and a charcoal grill. Inside, the cabins are laid out as follows: starting at one end: bedroom with with double bed, bunk beds, a nightstand, a chest of drawers, separate vanity with wall-mounted hairdryer, closet space; full bathroom with tub/shower; hall closet; full kitchen with amenities listed below; living area with color television and a VCR, a dining table that seats six, sofa, kids table and two chairs, pull-down Murphy bed, window seats, telephone, locked cabinet (safe)."
Of course, nothing on property is cheap, but unless you're going with a junior suite or two side by side rooms, this might be your best bet.
One other resort actually has a trundle bed (I forget which), however, unless one of your 3 kids is small, my understanding is that it's not a great option. A friend of mine used it last year and put her 7 year old on the trundle, because it was small and not that comfortable, but she thought it was a great camp out spot.
Good luck, have a great vacation!

Any ideas for redoing cushions and curtains for a camper trailer?
Faith C
My husband and I are redoing a camper trailer and are looking for ideas to fix it up it's a1972 model. We are redoing the floor and needing to put up a door in the bathroom, retiling the kitchen wall. I've been looking for a web site with any tips to go to.
Answer
Faith,
Since it is a small living area, I would try and do it as cheap as possible, with a look of money!
For the bathroom door, I would get an accordion door from Lowes.
For "tile" in the kitchen bathroom area, I would look at 4x8 sheets of decor board at Lowes, really neat patterns, some look like tile, some look like leather, some wood.
As for the floor of the camper, if the sub floor needs replacing use a 1/4 inch chip board, then find a piece of remenant linolieum at a carpet store. That way you will have one continious piece of flooring and not worry about grout or dirt getting between tile squares, and they do move after time creating spaces. You can take your cushions make a pattern of their sixe and either make slip covers for them, or take them to an unpohltry(?) shop and have them remade.
For curtains, I would find material at walmart in the dollar bin and make curtains. Use the small spring curtain hangers, you can make tie backs using velcro. You could make place mats for your table to match them.
I would say for about 200 dollars you could have it looking good and ready to go!
