My wife and I wanted to go on vacation this summer but gas costs being so high we decided not to fly or travel by car too far. Our family decided to vacation in San Diego. Trying to find the best accommodations was a chore probably because we tend to comparison shop and kept at it for three days.

Starring Roles Bakery – MGM Studios – Walt Disney World This bakery is located right next to the Brown Derby Restaurant in the MGM Studios. There is no indoor seating, but there are several tables with umbrellas on the patio just outside the bakery. The tables have a good view of the action on one of the busiest corners of the MGM Studio and are great for people watching and taking a break. I love this place. It’s great for…

All Star Music, at Disney World in Florida (4-14-07) This facility is not a time-share but cost per day facility and considered for people on a budget.
