Just want to say thanks so much for all of this amazing information! We are planning on this trip in the next few years, and I have learned so much by reading your posts. Thank you!

Hi there, we just returned from the Egypt trip last week, and we felt safe absolutely everywhere due to the security and precautions taken by Disney. We had an armed guard accompanying our group the whole time. Safety was definitely not a concern on the river cruise ship at all. In Sharm, the...

Thanks so much for the link! I truly appreciate your help and I will definitely keep an eye on this page! I keep researching all of this on my own, and the answers are coming up good, but I'm so afraid I'm going to miss something. Rules are always changing, so I understand why ABD doesn't and...

Hi there! We are going this December! I'm worried that I might be missing something regrading vaccines, boosters, other shots needed for travel to Egypt that I'm not thinking of yet (malaria, yellow fever, etc). Obviously we all have the covid vax, but not all have the boosters. My...

When you change your Disney Visa Card design, can you still use your "old" card, since it's actually the same number, expiration date, etc? Or does the previous design get deactivated? I know it's kind of silly, but I requested a Star Wars card design this week, because I want to use it for our...

We are on the December Egypt trip, and are almost wishing for Disney to cancel it. We really wanted to go, but the lack of information has us doubtful that we want to pay in full without knowing what exactly we are signing up for. Will there be itinerary changes? Will we see the things that...

Hi there- I’ve been trying to find the answer to this question but I’m coming up short. Does anyone with knowledge of the Disney cast members’ union contract negotiations know how long the mask requirements were requested by the union? Is it indefinite? Until a vaccine is available? Until...

It was such a memorable meal for our family, and stands out as one of the best nights of the vacation for us. Our guide, Mary, called up to help us get the reservation. This whole trip is just amazing and full of delicious foods!

Hi there - our ABD guide, Mary, recommended that we go to a place called The Ferryman while on the island of Crete. It was an upscale, waterfront place that I would describe as "gourmet Greek." It was so delicious from the appetizers to the desserts. The atmosphere is beautiful, so try to go...

I've been to both, and my vote is Homecomin' 100%! Polite pig is more of a fast casual place, where you order at the counter and they bring the food to you. It was very tasty if you are looking for a quick place to eat. Homecomin' is a true sit-down restaurant, and in my opinion, a much better...

There were a lot of flights on this trip, but they were fine. Regular, commercial style airplanes I would say. The biggest pain was going through security so many times for all the the flights.

We are booked on the 7/14-7/23 trip! It will be myself, my husband, and our two sons who will be 18 & 19 at the time of the vacation. Really excited to have a spot on this trip! I look forward to chatting with you all!

Thanks so much for your response! And to all others who have responded, too! Very helpful, and I appreciate it!

Hi there! I have just a few questions for any of you who have taken an ABD Ireland trip recently. 1) We are disappointed that Blarney Castle was eliminated from the ABD. I realize that some people think the whole concept is gross, but we really hate to tour Ireland and not get to visit the...

Hi there - has anyone had experience with hiring a private driver for disembarkation day? We are not just in need of a quick transfer, but rather someone who can pick us up at the port, drive us to a spring training game, and then return us to Tampa around dinner time. I've done the whole car...

Yes, so weird. It's been unavailable for the past week or so, at least for booking with the younger kids. But today, all was ok. I guess some guests must have cancelled. We are really excited!

I am also on this cruise with my extended family. In total we have 9 people, including 6 adults, a 16 year old, a 9 year old, and a 7 year old. Really excited to be sailing on DCL again. It's been about 5 years since our last cruise.

UPDATE: We are in! My mom has been calling repeatedly and was able to get rooms for the whole family this morning. Thanks again for all of the suggestions. I appreciate it!

Just want to say thanks to everyone for the responses. I've not attempted anything further with this due to the Thanksgiving weekend festivities, but I will resume my efforts this week. We are a larger party needing 3 rooms. The kids are 7, 9, and 16 and we are trying for the March 18th...

Thanks so much - as a follow up question, do you happen to know whether a lot of people actually bail from the cruises before final payment? I guess I'm just trying to assess our odds at getting a spot, or whether we should give up and book something else entirely. Thanks again!
