Oh, I feel your pain! Our twin sons just turned 17. Our guys enjoyed their DCL cruises but don't LOVE it and don't enjoy the clubs. They like the food, the movies, chilling out...but they don't need to be on a DCL cruise for a lot of that. I just wanted to pipe in that we enjoyed a trip to...

I'm guessing that these are little ones who need to get to sleep early. I remember those days! Now, we have the opposite problem when we travel with your 16 year old twin boys...we want to sleep and they are wide awake! (But don't talk to me about getting them up and going in the morning...!)

It's very good that WDW has free chairs available for use, but I would have thought that keeping those that are available in good repair would be important to the corporation...in the interest of avoiding liability? Or do guests have to sign a waiver to use them? (We've always travelled with...

Thanks to all you stair users - one of our sons uses a wheelchair and we really appreciate when people take the stairs to free up space...glad you are seeing another benefit! I lose weight also - and believe me, I still feel like I am indulging! I find the portions aren't too big, so I can...

Hello! We are thinking about upgrading our next cruise to try concierge (little worried about never being able to do anything else again!). One of our sons uses a wheelchair. I know he's love the sundeck - can it be accessed any way other than via stairs? I am trying to remember...I...

Hello - one of our sons uses a wheelchair so we need a HA cabin. We have always booked a HA Deluxe Family with Verandah (I think Cat 4B? These are pics of Dream cabin 8090. We sailed on the Fantasy and the cabins were exactly the same). Here's a link to an older thread after our very first...

Thanks for the info! I know you're not an expert, but your experiences with your father and with a stroller certainly give you some insights. I find that sometimes tour providers want to be so careful, both for safety and because they want to be sure it all works...and maybe they don't have...

Just wanted to chime in and thank you for spending time to write such a wonderful trip report! I have gone back and followed from when you first left the States...what an amazing travel experience you have had! It's been especally interesting for me to read because: - when I was 7 years old...

We've used Southern Elegance a number of times, and have always had excellent service!

Our twin sons (15) took themselves to the MDR for dinner on our Palo night this past March - more of a challenge as 1 of our sons uses a powerchair and was recovering from orthopedic surgery. They'll tell you that this was their favourite night at dinner! Spoiled rotten, entertained...and the...

This discussion helped me take action - we're booked on the Fantasy in March as well! I think you'll be pleased...but there really wasn't a "bad" option here in any case!

We travelled this itinerary in March. One of our sons was recovering from orthopedic surgery and was limited in what he could do, and had his power chair, which limited our shore options. In St. Thomas, do as the CMs do...the Guest Services CMs shared their plans - when they have time off...

Hello! I read your thread because we are also struggling with this decision. We have enjoyed 3 DCL cruises: 4 night Dream twice and 7 night Fantasy once. I think you'll love the pace of the 7 night, so you're already ahead! Although we've never tried the Classic ships, from all I've read...

non-cruise winter vacation idea for DCL fans? Hello! We have loved our DCL cruises (Dream (2), Fantasy) and WDW/DL vacations (many, trust me!). But this winter, we need to look for an alternative (don't ask, has to do with family travelling with us). I hope it's okay to ask this question here...

Hello! We have loved our DCL cruises (Dream (2), Fantasy) and WDW/DL vacations (many, trust me!). But this winter, we need to look for an alternative (don't ask, has to do with family travelling with us). I hope it's okay to ask this question here. So...does anyone have any ideas for...

Jsut spent a frustrating time researching travel options for our family of 4, including me, DH and twin sons now age 15. One of our sons uses walker/wheelchair (manual or power) to get around. I was hoping to come up with a plan for this summer (late July/August) but 2015 might be more...

You have chosen well! We just returned from our 3rd Disney cruise with our twin sons (now 15). One of our sons has CP (uses a walker or w/c and is otherwise age appropriate). This time, he was very recently released from hospital after major orthopedic surgery (had been in hospital for acute...

Hello Swan/Dolphin people! We've been to WDW several times, but this will be our first time staying at the Swan (we arrive in 4 days!). We will be staying 2 nights before/after a Disney Cruise. One of our teenaged twin sons will be travelling with his power wheelchair - first time for us...

Hi! We've "met" over on our cruise's FB page. We're taking DCL ground transfers for the first time, doing it this trip because we will be travelling with our son's power wheelchair rather than manual, and we can't use the town car service we usually use. We're concerned about late arrival...

Hi! In 2 weeks, we are flying to Orlando, then taking a Disney cruise. Our DH15 is still recovering from major orthopedic surgery (he has cerebral palsy). Given his reduced mobility, we've decided to travel with his power chair for the first time. We very nervous about entrusting this 1 year...
