What’s the best cheap place to stay? We prefer a condo or cabin with enough room for 3 couples and some kids…maybe 4 bedrooms.

Are there fun things to do there? Kids ages range from infant to 18 years old!

Thanks!

Any phone number that starts with +44-70 or anything similar is not based in the United Kingdom. It is from a UK based cell phone redirect service that can be answered by anyone anywhere in the world. It is a favorite service of scammers who want to pretend to be in the United Kingdom but are really half way around the world from there.

The next email is from another of the scammer’s fake names and free email addresses pretending to be the “UK government visa agent” and will demand you pay for made-up fees, in cash, and only by Western Union or moneygram.

Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever.

Now that you have responded to a scammer, you are on his ‘potential sucker’ list, he will try again to separate you from your cash. He will send you more emails from his other free email addresses using another of his fake names with all kinds of stories of great jobs, lottery winnings, millions in the bank and desperate, lonely, sexy singles. He will sell your email address to all his scamming buddies who will also send you dozens of fake emails all with the exact same goal, you sending them your cash via Western Union or moneygram.

Whenever suspicious or just plain curious, google everything, website addresses, names used, companies mentioned, phone numbers given, all email addresses, even sentences from the emails as you might be unpleasantly surprised at what you find already posted online. You can also post/ask here and every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find before taking a chance and losing money to a scammer.

6 “Rules to follow” to avoid most fake jobs:
1) Job asks you to use your personal bank account and/or open a new one.
2) Job asks you to print/mail/cash a check or money order.
3) Job asks you to use Western Union or moneygram in any capacity.
4) Job asks you to accept packages and re-ship them on to anyone.
5) Job asks you to pay visas, travel fees via Western Union or moneygram.
6) Job asks you to sign up for a credit reporting or identity verification site.

Avoiding all jobs that mention any of the above listed ‘red flags’ and you will miss nearly all fake jobs. Only scammers ask you to do any of the above. No. Exceptions. Ever. For any reason.

We have also shared a villa in the past. They cost a bit more but they are worth it if you have the money! We have stayed in Davenport at the Sanctuary and it is only 8 miles from Disney.

Keep searching VRBO for offers of places to stay. Cook your own food as much as possible. Go through a vendor for your theme park tickets Don’t eat out without a coupon. Most restaurants have them and sometimes you have to go in and get one at the back door first.

My advice is to stay away from the freebies offered by timeshare sales reps. Take your sunscreen and have a ball.

I don’t know if Hershey, PA is going to be a bit too far for you. I drive from Atlanta to Pittsburgh several times a year, and usually drive it by myself in one day, so I may not be a good judge.

This would be a really good place too, but far and may be closed by the time you take your trip.
