Charging back to your room

we always charge back to our room and have never had any issues. It is so convenient. Glad you packed your first aid kit, that is one of the first things that I pack. You dont want to have to pay 4.99 for a couple of tylenol.

No worries Mimi, god that's nothing.

We always charge back to the room, never had an issue.

One thing we did do, we ventured out to go to church in Kissimmee, took a wrong turn and ended up on an unmanned toll only offramp, no toll booth, no person, just one of those coin catch bucket things, and we had $0 change in the truck, not even a penny. A nice lady stopped and gave us 2 quarters so that we didn't have to back all the way down the ramp, or run the toll and get a welcome home ticket in the mail. Now, we keep a ton of extra quarters in the truck just in case we get caught doing the same thing again. Or in case we run into someone who has done the same thing.

Normally, when we park at the resort, we take all money out of the truck, but that has changed.

We got on that same toll road this past trip. That's a kick, they let you get on, but your not getting off!

I don't want to hijack this thread, but what is up with that toll exit thing?? It's not a toll road?!?! The signage is lacking! I am not happy that it happened to you too, but I am happy that I am not the only one that it happened to.

Yeah it says it's a toll road, but it's not one like I ever saw before. They have random toll booths in the middle of the highway too, but off to the side and of course they don't except E-Z Pass like every other state on the east coast does.

Okay back to the regular scheduled thread! Sorry.

Congratulations on your wedding and upcoming honeymoon!

We've never had any issues charging back to our room. It makes things so much easier if, say, we're at the pool and want a pina colada-- no need to have cash.

A couple of things we always bring:
- a power strip so we can charge the phones, the laptop and whatever.

- a hanging sweater or shoe organizer (kind of like this: http://www.meijer.com/s/honey-can-do-6-shelf-hanging-sweater-organizer/_/R-230894;jsessionid=9984388746F7EEEF77015B899C8D0034.instance01?CAWELAID=1599105634&cagpspn=pla&cmpid=Google-G_US_Meijer_eCom_PLA_Home_Improvement&kpid=SFT-01003 ) It goes into the closet and holds the shoes, the wallets, the sunglasses... basically all the stuff that you drop as soon as you enter the resort. Mornings are a whole lot easier when all 5 of us can find our most important stuff. You can get it at a Bed, Bath and Beyond type of store, or at an Ikea if there's one nearby.

- a bunch of disposable ponchos. We go in August, and daily showers are pretty predictable.

- a couple of Mistymate personal misters. (You can get them at amazon year round, though we've found them locally during the summer.) Those August days can get pretty steamy, and they really do help!

Have a great trip!

I love being able to charge to the room. Our recent trip, the wife had the souvenir money on a bank account and used the debit card for that account for souvenir purchases. She kept track of her balance, she had a specific amount of money on the account and when it was gone she was done. So that forced her to keep track of it.

Then I had the meal money on an account attached to the room cards. Which ever one of us made a meal purchase would use the room card. Then I kept the meal receipts and reconciled each night back at the room. Brought the laptop along and used a spreadsheet. I had the meals planned out along with estimated cost for each days meals.

We kept on track with the budget and I kept the record of charges accurate to the penny.

I know that probably sounds a little overboard but we were on a fairly tight budget without any leeway for going over. So it was necessary to keep pretty close track.
