I have another travel question- are you all still finding lower rental car rates within 5-6 weeks or fewer of travel dates?The rates for spring break are CRAZY HIGH at my home airport, my car has over 200K so don't want to drive it to FL

Can you rent from somewhere that isn't an airport?

4:21pm on 2/19/26 by melcort10

Over the last 18 months I feel like prices just stayed mostly inflated. I got lucky with a few smallish price drops as I watched, but nothing too dramatic.

4:25pm on 2/19/26 by JJT (staff)

Ughhh that's not good news @JJT. And the only local places are Enterprise and the reviews are so so and their biggest issue is that they don't actually have cars that people book online when they show upso didn't want to go that route if at all possible.

10:33pm on 2/19/26 by koolaid

Again-they know how to take the reservation..

3:14am by hodg

There was a thread tracking rental prices last fall on the forum. Day 62 and 31 seemed to drop (62 was the cheapest). I also saw drops at day 5 (not as low as 62).

6:13am by PrincipalTinker

Good one @hodg!

6:13am by 58breezy

I know last spring my rental go AZ dropped at some point, I'll have to check my emails and see if I can figure out when. I'll keep checking everyday.

7:34am by koolaid

My experience is 50ish and 30ish days are lowest but holidays they may not ever drop. Reserve now and keep watching. Www.carrentalsavers.com is good for thrifty, dollar and hertz

2:43pm by JackOfAll

Try Turo maybe.

2:46pm by mary32830

I hear such bad things about thrifty, dollar and hertz @jack I am scared to try it! They aren't much less and yes it does encompass Easter so we may be driving a go cart at this point HA! Enterprise is really a lot less but it terrifies me also.

4:15pm by koolaid

I am at 38 days right now so will keep watching. I usually use Alamo and have that booked but I can get a midsize or higher at National for a little bit less so may reserve over there also just in case.

4:16pm by koolaid

What are your plans that you need a car? Are you staying offsite? Could you just ride share? Probably cheaper than renting a car especially when to factor in gas, tools and parking.

5:08pm by Flutegarden

I love enterprise and national. I use thrifty and dollar without any trouble. Avis and budget are my stay away at all cost rentals

@flute- I am renting a car to drive from NC to FL bc I don't trust my car with over 200k miles on it. I am sure it will be fine but it's so much less than flying to MCO an renting a car there bc those rates are really high!

2 min ago by koolaid

We stay in Orlando for a few nights and then go to the coast to stay with family so need a car.

1 min ago by koolaid

The non airport enterprises never seem to have any vehicles which is what the bad reviews mentioned. Hopefully it will come down and I can rebook!

Any liners on site that has used the 119 minute grace period for LL in the last few days? I saw something elsewhere claiming the tap turned blue after the end of the official window but don't trust the source.

Best park for a late arrival day? we'll be staying at riviera and would probably get to a park around 10-11am.

Marinated shrimp skewers from our local groc (Lund's and Byerly's). For dessert: cookies from our car dealership. We bought a new electric car and they sent us cookies!

9:30pm by joeyjojojuniorshabadoo

@wilderness That's what I would do, too.

9:55pm by yetisafari

@wild you are so cute thinking that's a late start. We don't usually do rope drops and on an average 10-11:00 is a normal day. Either park on the SL would be best. Have a great time planning your trip

I'm just curious, why are the CL #'s so off this week? I am not referring to a one number difference, it's been a 3-4 number difference with not much being offline. Perhaps, I have been fortunate and have yet to experience this.

What am I doing wrong? Ready & refreshing at drop times on BG1, but no LLs appear.

Is bg1 working fully again?

I was able to book drops, modify and cancel using BG1 the past few days. Made original LLs in MDE.

49 min ago by mcmillertime

I will say the drops have been hard to get and go quick. There were a couple of times yesterday they were there and then gone is a nanosecond. As previously mentioned parks are super busy this week.

75 mt wait at Trader Sam's.. Ya think enough time to go to Enchanted Rose and quickest route to take.

@Ali, I've been getting Wailulu alerts frequently for Feb 28-March 2 using Mousedining.

9:56pm by snowdiz

@ali what party size are you searching for? They don't show availability for 2, but if you bump up to 3, suddenly nearly every day is open. I understand needing to keep a certain # of 4-tops open, but I also hate that about Disney's system.

10:01pm by yetisafari

You can always adjust your reservation later to a lower number if needed. (I only do this if there are a lot of reservations showing and I'm not legitimately tying up the last table for a larger party.) also, Wailulu bar is still walk up.

10:02pm by yetisafari

I was just in an elevator with Joe Rhode. I almost passed out. He was pitching the concept of a Victorian garden theme park to another imagineer, I assume? My heart is racing. I got off on the wrong floor. Need alert!

This was in the CSR tower. You have to select your floor before you get on the elevator, so with just the three of us it would've been awkward if I didn't get off when the door opened. :D

8:19pm by amywdw

But let's agree, it was awkward anyway, thanks to me.

8:19pm by amywdw

Truly @amy, it's ok, im sure most of is would've frozen not sure what to say.

"What's cookin'?" It's fish fry season, so DW and I will head out later for dinner at a local favorite restaurant. We have a couple new places to try this year and we're looking forward to trying them.

We're in NYC for the weekend. Met friends at an upper east side Vietnamese place. I had green papaya salad and pho. And the coffee flan was outstanding.

My Liner friends, please say a prayer over our family or send good thoughts. Dad's been wildly weak the last few days, at times getting stuck in a seated position and unable to stand up. Not sure if it's the chemo or anemia or a combination of things.

He just asked to be taken to the hospital, so they're headed there shortly. As of last Friday, or Saturday even, he was tired and had some pain, but was doing well after his chemo last Tuesday. I worry for him and my mama.

After multiple hours waiting in the ER, he's been admitted. The blood panels they've done so far show really high platelets, which can cause sudden, unexplainable weakness. Other results are a bit wacky likely because he's dehydrated.

Here's what I know so far: Some tests show oxygen isn't getting to the tissue, which explains the weakness. They'll need to figure out the cause to treat that. He also had some scans, which show new lesions on his spine and pelvis and...

8:14am by utang44

new fractures in the sacral hip and thoracic spine. The one in the spine is a spiral fracture rather than a compression fracture, so may have been caused by a recent fall. He's getting pain meds and fluids and texting me this morning.

No real updates today, but he's finally in a room and will be moved to a better one soon. The neurosurgeon recommends vertebroplasty for the fractures in his spine, but he needs to have an MRI first. He tried today, but was too claustrophobic.

6:26pm by utang44

Will try again Monday after taking an Ativan. He texted me a little earlier to check on me. I love that man.

6:26pm by utang44

@utang, my secret for surviving MRIs Altho I'm claustrophobic is keeping my eyes closed and counting. So if they tell me 10 minutes I count to 60 ten times. It has gotten me thru at least 10 MRIs. Only time I really panicked was during Covid when they

8:53pm by evamarie320

made me wear a mask IN the MRI machine. That just put me over the edge a little.

8:54pm by evamarie320

Of course Ativan will take the edge off. But share my strategy if you think it would help him.

@eva, I count ALL the time! For shots, MRIs, dental work, Tower of Tower (haha)! Closing my eyes and really focusing on the music helps, too.

DS had a head MRI when he was 4. We secured his favorite blankie to his wrist with rubber band. He had to be chill about it, but could rub the soft ear gently between his thumb and finger, keeping rest of his body still.

Ear? Fabric.
