Downtown Disney Isn’t a Theme Park (and That’s a Good Thing)

Discount Mobility Image

If you’ve ever been to Walt Disney World, you know it’s all about the theme parks – and for good reason. The Magic Kingdom, the first of four theme parks built at Disney World, is one of the most visited theme parks on earth while Epcot hosts over 10 million visitors each year. Admission to these amazing attractions, however, isn’t exactly cheap. For families on a budget who want to experience a different part of the resort (and avoid long lines and overpriced concessions), there’s Downtown Disney.

Downtown Disney – A Fun and Free Alternative

Open year-round to the public, Downtown Disney is an expansive outdoor shopping, dining, and entertainment complex located on the waterfront at the Walt Disney World Resort on Lake Buena Vista. Home to several world-class restaurants and over 40 amazing shops including the world’s largest Disney store, Downtown Disney requires no admission fee and also offers complimentary parking and transportation to all Wald Disney World Resorts. Aside from offering unique and memorable dining and shopping experiences, Downtown Disney is also home to Cirque du Soleil’s La Nouba, the House of Blues, Planet Hollywood, Disney Quest, and the Lego Imagination Center. Sure, Downtown Disney might not offer the thrills of Space Mountain but you won’t have to fight thousands of other guests and tourists to have a good time.

Extended Scanner Rental Program Now Available from E-Z Photo Scan

Memory Lane Street SignToday’s guest post comes from Rick Lippert, owner of E-Z Photo Scan in Alamonte Springs, FL.

E-Z Photo Scan offers photo scanning equipment across the entire state, and has just introduced a new extended rental option.

Rent It Today is proud to market E-Z Photo Scan’s scanner rental inventory. By adding a new monthly rental option, they are making the appropriate strides necessary to help you or your organization preserve precious memories.

E-Z Photo Scan of Altamonte Springs has taken the next step toward providing high quality, affordable photo scanning solutions to individuals and communities by introducing its new extended scanner rental program. This new program provides monthly rental options to suit the needs of individuals and organizations with large volume scanning projects that can’t be completed in a week or less.

For years, E-Z Photo Scan has worked with community centers, historical societies, museums, and individuals to help them organize and preserve their photos and documents. For many, digitizing photographic archives can prove to be a daunting and time-consuming task that can be prohibitively costly when delegated to professional services. In the past, the only options were purchasing the equipment, or paying an expert to do the archiving.

EZPhotoScan.com has made scanners available for short-term rentals for several years, which provided a welcome alternative to many home and organizational archivists. But a growing need for long-term rental alternatives had EZPhotoScan.com’s Vice President-Operations, Troy Lippert, working on creating a long-term rental solution.

Like the short-term rental program, this new long-term scanner rental solution brings EZPhotoScan.com’s high-quality, high-speed digitization capabilities to the door-steps of households and group organizations looking to preserve high volumes of photographs, documents and memorabilia, including:

  • Historical societies and groups (libraries, schools, museums and community outreach programs).
  • Preservation organizations (family genealogy associations, digital archivists and social archiving communities).
  • Individuals (family archivists and collaborative family projects).
  • Businesses (extended preservation projects, trial business models and additional revenue streams).

While the short-term program options include day, weekend, or week- long scanner rentals, the new extended rental options offer three, six, and twelve month package selections.

“Our extended rental packages create new opportunities for those looking for an easy and comprehensive way to use professional, high quality, high speed scanners quickly and very cost effectively,” Lippert says. “This package comes with the scanner, computer and software, making it possible for the individuals or businesses renting it to be scanning in a just a few hours.

“They are making or saving money instantly.”

Each E-Z Photo Scan Rental Package includes:

  • A KODAK scanner specifically engineered to quickly and professionally process volumes of photos and treasured documents up to 8 x 10 inches in size.
  • A laptop computer with high resolution display and all software, drivers and a CD/DVD burner installed and ready to go. Users simply turn on the laptop, plug-in the scanner and start scanning.
  • Image software to create better, brighter pictures with vibrant colors and rich details.
  • Picture Saver Scanning System Care Kit containing basic components (feed roller cleaning pads, detailer wipes and transport cleaning sheet).
  • One (1) Gold Preservation DVD capable of holding many thousands of scanned photos 24 karat gold reflective layer and patented Phthalocyanine dye formula which extends storage life to well in excess of 100 years.
  • A complete set of guidelines to assist users in getting started and producing high quality scans.

E-Z Photo Scan offers scanning equipment rental options to meet a wide range of needs:

  • The Short-term options include day, weekend, or week long rentals that provide customers with professional-grade photo scan equipment. This rental package allows users to scan thousands of photographs, documents and memorabilia within the rental period.
  • The long-term option provides monthly scan equipment rental opportunities. This option provides community groups and organizations with the opportunity to use the professional-grade Kodak PS50 Picture Scanner in historical and preservation outreach programs, marketing campaigns and other long-term archiving projects. Individuals and businesses can choose the long-term rental option for their own extended scanning projects – whether it’s archiving decades of precious family photos, children’s’ art works and important documents, or corporate files and important financial and business-related documents.

Renters are guaranteed support from E-Z Photo Scan, including operation and workflow planning, technical assistance and equipment unit replacement if necessary.

Newborn Biliblanket Rentals From Liberty Medical Solutions

Rent A Biliblanket For Your Newborn With Infant Jaundice

Find this and similar images on cutebabieswallpapers.com.

Every year brings new advancements in medical equipment. An area that is consistently researched and improved upon is the health and well-being of newborns. Understandably, there is nothing more precious or important than the first few days of a baby’s life.

Infant Jaundice

Each year, millions of newborns experience a condition known as infant jaundice. This typically occurs at birth or within their first week. Jaundice is characterized by a yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes, and is caused by an excess of bilirubin in the bloodstream. Although a common occurrence that typically requires minimal action, there are cases in which infant jaundice is indicative of an underlying and serious issue. Some conditions that display jaundice characteristics and call for immediate intervention include liver disease, sepsis, blocked bile duct or bowel, and hepatitis.

Treatment for a newborn’s jaundice is to expose the child to phototherapy. Phototherapy consists of shining light onto the skin. The illumination breaks down the excess bilirubin, therefore decreasing its level. In years past, phototherapy treatments took place in the hospital in which your child was born. Now, however, you can rent a portable home phototherapy unit, also known as a biliblanket, for at-home use.

Biliblanket Rentals From Liberty Medical SolutionsThe BiliTx Biliblanket

Liberty Medical Solutions in Tampa, FL, offers the latest breakthrough in biliblanket jaundice treatment, known as the BiliTx, for rent. The BiliTx comes with exceptional benefits, including LED light source, dual functionality, easy operation, and low to no maintenance costs. Its cool spot technology provides a stable thermal environment without the heat transfer of a halogen phototherapy device.

Benefits to All

Renting a biliblanket for your infant is the preferred choice for parents, as it allows you to care for your child while in the comforts of your own home. Doctors recommend biliblanket rentals in support of child/parent bonding during the early days of a baby’s life, and insurance companies like the expense of home treatment versus inpatient services at a hospital.

Self Storage and Recycling Packing Peanuts in Miami, FL

Miami FL boxes and packing supplies offered by storage rental companyOne of the prime motivations for renting a self storage unit is to stash valuable items in boxes.  Storing your possessions off site in a rented self storage unit is a great option. Packing in preparation for a move, unpacking after a move, or even getting a box delivered to your door might mean you’ll be faced with a dilemma that confronts many movers and package recipients; what on earth to do with all the leftover packing peanuts.

The most common reaction to the packing peanut proliferation problem is to just throw them all away.  Bear in mind before you do this, white or pink ones are not biodegradable, so taking them to the curb just helps add yet another layer to the landfill.

Styrofoam peanuts are color coded to reflect their origin. If they are green they were manufactured from recycled materials and will break down in the environment after five years or less if exposed to organic material. A white or pink peanut means the materials used to create it were at least 70% raw and not recycled. In addition, pink means that they’ve been treated with chemicals which help lessen static cling.

Other Uses For Those Pesky Peanuts

There are several practical options for use of these little buggers, and if you really don’t want to repurpose them, there is a Going Green way to dispose of them in an environmentally friendly manner.

If you have houseplants or a container garden, you can take the Styrofoam and put it in the base of your pots, or grind it up into small pieces and mix it with the soil. Doing this promotes proper drainage in the pots and is good for your plants. They can also be utilized in flower arrangements to stabilize the display.

If you have a zippered pillow or pet bed which could use some bulking up, throw a passel of packing peanuts inside to make them fluffier and more comfy.

A packing peanut placed on a pointed object can make the likelihood of pricking yourself proportionately smaller than if that point is left unguarded. Scissors and screw drivers are examples of sharp objects which can be selected for the Styrofoam stopper.

You can always bag them or box them up and store them away for reuse at a later time for your own packingPacking Supplies offered by Self Storage Facility in Miami, FL or shipping needs. They do not eat or drink anything, so will store quite nicely. A final option is just to ask a local shipper if they would like to have them. Many will be happy to accept them for reuse.

Recycling Is A Green and Environmentally Friendly Option

If you just have to get rid of them, Go Green and dispose of them properly.  The Plastic Loose Fill Council was founded in 1991 to develop, promote and implement the recovery, reuse and recycling of packing peanuts. Environmentally friendly folks can drop off their unwanted packing peanuts at over 1,500 collection sites in the USA. Call the Peanut Hotline, 800-828-2214 to learn of a dropoff location near you.

For example, if you live in the metropolitan Miami, Florida area and you’ve just finished packing some boxes for storage and have some leftover packing peanuts, you’ll find six locations that serve the Greater Miami area to properly dispose of them by visiting loosefillpackaging.com. In fact, the site lists over 100 locations in Florida where you can recycle packing peanuts.

So, don’t feel overwhelmed by the packing peanut pile. Reuse them or recycle them and your local landfill will thank you.

Jet Pack Rentals and Water Adventures

Jetpack Rentals a reality?Fans of The Jetsons or The Rocketeer, as well as individuals who have longed to strap on a jet pack and escape the bonds of mother earth, take note. A novel and breakthrough rental concept is now getting off the ground in Florida, Arizona, California, and Hawaii that can make your flying dream come true.

Developed by German company MS Watersports GmbH , the Jetlev (an abbreviation of Jet Levitation) allows the user to experience personal flight in a way that leaves renters exhilarated and delighted. Designed for use over water, the recreational jet pack is propelled by two powerful streams of H2O, sending the wearer three stories into the air at 22 mph. The Jetlev is designed for safety, stability, ease-of-use, and features precise and effortless flight controls. Promoters claim that newbies can learn to take off, fly, turn, hover and land in as little as six minutes on the water.

Jetlev R200 Water Jet Pack Rentals in Key West, FL

The device is tethered by a hose to a small trailing craft about the size of a jet ski that pumps in the water which keeps the user aloft. Inventor Ray Li has been tweaking and reworking the concept since 2003. Safety and ease of use were his primary concerns and the Jetlev earns high marks for both. A fall from its maximum height is akin to jumping off a diving board.

The Jetlev jet pack story has been featured on NBC’s Today Show, Fox News, Sports Illustrated, Discovery Channel, Popular Science, and is the subject of several YouTube videos.

Would You Like to Rent a Jet Pack?

Learn more about renting a jet pack and the Jetlev personal flight experience at jetlevsouthwest.com for the locations in Arizona, California, and Hawaii.  Florida has locations at Key West and Duck Key offered by Jet Pack Adventures.  Be prepared for a sky high adrenaline rush and revel in friends and onlookers saying you’ve got your head in the clouds.

Offbeat Rental Report: Self Storage As Ultimate Man Cave

Self Storage Rental

Self Storage Units - The Ultimate "Man Cave"

Self Storage Company Evolves The Man Cave

Every successful concept evolves from a basic form to its ultimate expression. The Model T led to the Ferrari, and the most plush private jet can trace its roots to the Wright brother’s wood and canvas flyer.

According to a January 20th story in the The Daytona Beach News Journal,  Charlotte,  N.C. based Hyde Park Storage Suites has taken two concepts, the man cave and self storage, to new heights simultaneously.

Self Storage client rents unit makes man cave

Mancaveology from Facebook.com/storagesuites

The self storage company offers large units that can be leased and customized. Purchase is also an option. And the customization can only be characterized as over the top.  For starters, the storage units are climate-controlled spaces with electrical hook-ups, and plumbing can be installed. From there, only the imagination and budget of the customer limit what can be developed in the creation of the ultimate personal space. Standard equipment can include a big screen TV and refrigerator, and the driving theme is to ‘have it all’ in your own space. Virtually any creature comfort can be incorporated. Pool tables, poker tables, pinball machines, and video games are not uncommon additions.

In addition to the luxury of designing and customizing a personal man cave, the facility customers also have access to an onsite clubhouse. The clubhouse is in keeping with the luxury culture of the complex and includes maintained restrooms, a furnished lounge with plush couches, large screen TV, a bar, and kitchenette.

One of the major draws of the complex is the camaraderie which develops between the participants. Most of the tribe not only store their motorcycles, classic cars, and even motor homes in their units, they also work on them there. Vehicle restoration is also a favorite hobby. The opportunity to learn from each other and share ideas, concepts, and even tools and resources creates an environment not unlike a fraternity.

Are Self Storage Units the Ultimate Man Cave?

Logo for Hyde Park Storage Suites - Contact themHyde Park Storage Suites has operated their original location in Charlotte since 2001, and has recently opened a larger state of the art development in the Daytona Beach market.  It’s no coincidence that both locations are located near NASCAR tracks, as company founders Kevin Mahl and Jamie Rolewicz also own Champion Tire & Wheel, a company that uses 26 tractor-trailers to transport equipment and supplies for NASCAR teams. You can visit Hyde Park Storage Suites on Facebook here and see various “degrees of Mancaveology”.

Every man needs a place to hang out, lay back and decompress. Being able to do so in luxury and style and with like minded friends in a place that allows secure storage of adult toys is a concept in evolution that Darwin could only have dreamed of.

Construction Equipment Rental Orlando FL

Anticipated demand for construction equipment rentals in Orlando, Florida has spurred major industry player Volvo Rents to acquire the Orlando based company Contractors Equipment Rental (CER). The acquisition allows Volvo Rents to continue expansion of its growing network of company-owned heavy equipment and power tool supply businesses throughout North America.

Orlando Backhoe Rental from Volvo Rents

According to Construction Equipment Distribution Magazine (CEDMAG), the construction industry in the Orlando and Central Florida areas are working through a challenging time right now, however the region’s long-term future holds promise.

Volvo Rents plans to capitalize on an increase in local construction spending estimated to approach $30 Billion between 2012 and 2016.

“Since 2002, when we initiated a relationship with Volvo Rents, I have had admiration for the integrity of the Volvo Rents management team and their commitment to local decision-making.  The company’s culture of taking care of our employees and customers made becoming part of Volvo Rents an attractive decision for my family and my employees,” explained Gary Tripp, owner of Contractors Equipment Rental. “Volvo Rents is embarking on a significant expansion, and we are looking forward to facilitating their growth.”

With the purchase of CER, Volvo Rents now operates four equipment rental locations in Florida including Port St. Lucie, Tampa, and Pompano Beach. Purchasing an established Orlando construction equipment rental location was a logical decision given the size of the Florida market. Additionally the acquisition of the Orlando location enables Volvo to effectively provide equipment rentals throughout the majority of Central and South Florida.

“Contractors Equipment Rental’s commitment to customer care and local decision-making has enabled the Tripp family to assemble an excellent team that is fully committed to VIP customer service,” said Mike Crouch, Vice President, Business Development. “Gary Tripp and team will serve a significant role in the expansion of Volvo Rents in the state of Florida.”

Volvo Rents now provides the entire Orlando metropolitan area with an extensive line of construction equipment rental options. Furthermore by offering a comprehensive selection of heavy equipment that includes backhoes, excavator rentals, earthmoving machines, material handling trucks, aerial work platforms, landscaping equipment, and power tools they are able to service the construction, commercial, industrial, and homeowner industry. Volvo Rents of Orlando has special monthly rates on boom lifts, scissor lifts, bucket trucks, dump trucks, and forklift rentals. Their equipment is conveniently offered by the day, week, and month.

In addition to purchasing an Orlando, FL company, Volvo Rents recently acquired a Salt Lake City, UT construction equipment rental company and a CE company in Milwaukee, WI. They operate over 70 equipment rental locations throughout North America that fall within their growing network of company-owned and franchised rental stores.
