    Any photos of refurbed BC CL?

    Just saw your reply today, jake. Thanks so much for pointing me to that thread. The pictures look amazing......SO much nicer than when we stayed in August, 2013. I might be willing to give it another shot based on these photos.

    Any photos of refurbed BC CL?

    I was less than impressed with BC CL in 2013. I read that it was recently refurbed (or maybe in the process). Anybody have photos of the new rooms and lounges?

    First DVC stay, a couple of questions

    We'll be staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge in a Jambo House villa. Do we check in at the same desk we would if it was a non-DVC resort stay? We rented points and I know we won't get housekeeping (4 night stay), but is it possible to get a few extra towels? Thanks.

    5 Tips for an Easy Debarkation Process on your Disney Cruise

    We've taken two cruises on the Dream, both with second seating dining. On the first cruise, we ate breakfast at our assigned restaurant and time. When we were done it took a long time to get off the ship and a long time to clear customs. We also waited forever for a shuttle to take us to...

    Booked The Yacht Club... Should I Switch To Beach Club?

    I agree with Mousemommy1. I much prefer YC over BC, though my favorite Epcot resort is BWI:).

    How does luggage drop off work at port?

    I've only sailed from Port Canaveral, so I can answer for that port. If you take a shuttle, taxi, or drive to the port on your own, you drop off your luggage curbside, before you enter the terminal.

    alex and ani

    I purchased the DCL logo bracelet on our Dream cruise a couple of weeks ago. I was there to buy Chamilia, but then the CM noticed my alex and ani and told me about the new one. I am REALLY glad I purchased it on the spot (five minutes after the doors opened the first night of the cruise)...

    Just off a 4 night Dream yesterday...happy to answer questions

    Yes. In fact, we stayed in this stateroom on our first cruise and liked it so much that we booked it again for this one. It's mid ship and there are good views from the verandah when you dock at CC. The verandah wall is plexiglass, which is nicer to me than whitewall.

    The only time I spent on CC this trip was to do the 5K. I don't know if the cabanas were done or not. Sorry I can't help.

    "Special" Events on the Dream?

    The ticketing is new, though I don't know how new. We didn't wait in line for an hour, but it was still a while. We had 10:30 tickets, and when we arrived at 10:30, they wouldn't let us into the line because they were still dealing with the 10:15 tickets. One issue also seemed to be that...

    We got to the port at about 10:05. We waited in line for a few minutes, then we were directed to the curb to drop off our checked luggage with the Disney porters. Then we parked. Since I pre-paid, we showed them the payment confirmation at the gate and they gave us our parking tag and waved...

    To the best of my knowledge, this is something for which you register on board. Go to guest services to do so. It's on Deck 3, immediately to your right as you enter the ship.

    "Special" Events on the Dream?

    It's a free ticket for a photo opportunity with each of the six princesses right in a row. You get assigned a time to wait in line. They won't let you into the line until your assigned time.

    "Special" Events on the Dream?

    There was a ticketed (free) Princess Meet and Greet in the atrium at least twice on our Dream cruise this past week. We didn't know about it ahead of time, and by the time we found out late on Sunday my daughter was waitlisted. She was thrilled on Tuesday night to come back from dinner to find...

    I didn't post my Navigators (probably won't....running out of time before I have to go back to my crazy work life), but I don't see either of those listed in the Navigators I have. However, I only have Sunday and Tuesday. I don't know what happened to Monday and Wednesday:(.
