We're here too at caribbean beach club. Eating at sci fi diner as I type!
Thanks. Tonight is Ohana. I love that place then off to Splitsville for the big drink. Can't wait.

Howdy again! Okay... I hear all this and that about TIPPING. And I've seen some pretty big numbers... and those were just for the 7-night cruises.
For those of you that have done these biggin' 14-nighters, what is the appropriate amount of money to set aside for tipping?
(We're trying to budget everything, and we know it's gonna be a big chunk... so i figured I'd ask you kind people)

Does anyone remember "Romancing the Stone"...

Like PP said, the DCL recommendation is $12 per person per day to cover your stateroom host, head server, server, and assistant server. That $12 gets broken down in different amoubts to each of them.
For you and your wife, that's $336 for the WBPC. We have yet to experience service that's anything less than fantastic, so we always end up tipping more; if you want to tip more or less you just go to Guest Services and adjust it to what you want.
Since we'll have our kids with us, ours go up to $672+. That's not counting the $1 bills we bring for porters and room service, plus a few larger bills in case we have really good excursion guides. Any spa and bar tips get charged to our onboard account at time of service.

Those going from the ship to DL, are you taking Disney transport or booking a car transfer? The first PC we booked a car and it worked quite well and second time we did the Disney transfers which were fine, but of course you all pile out of the bus as quick as possible once there and try and rush to check-in to be front of the line!! Both times the lines were fairly long to check in and of course only the lucky ones had rooms ready(not us either time!!!) By the time you have checked in, waited in another line to dispose of your bags, had a restroom stop and freshen up, it was just about lunch time.
We are doing the Disney Transfers. Lunch time is about what time we are planning on heading over to Disneyland Park. Trying to plan for anything earlier is probably overly optimistic.
