    Post Cruise wooziness, feeling of motion... it has a name.

    I've been on three cruises and each time I had the dizzy/spinning room sensation for varying amounts of time. The first cruise was quite rough and I felt the symptoms on the last day in port, and then for another 10 days after coming home. The only thing that relieved it was driving in the...

    Noise level in the Staterooms?

    Our stateroom (6568) was right above Oceaneers Club. While we couldn't hear them often, one night they were having a talent show and we could literally hear the words of the song one child was singing. It was kind of sweet, however the loud dancing and music afterwards was a bit annoying...

    Packing for baby (babies)

    BOth of my girls are adopted from Russia and we were with them for a week each before we could travel home (one was 8 months old when adopted, the other was 12 months.) We were advised to pack all the jarred food we thought we would need. Never having been parents before, that was a daunting...

    How young

    On our last cruise, at the table next to ours in Animator's Palate was a baby that was no more than 12 weeks, 1 day. This was one tiny tiny baby. And she never made a peep at any meal, ever. Sweet little thing. I have taken 2 cruises with kids in diapers. Other than the hauling of all the...

    Palo on Western...when?

    We didn't want to do Palo for dinner the first three nights (didn't want to miss our first nights in each of the restaurants.) And we didn't want to go to Palo on the Cozumel night which is also Pirate Party. DIdn't want to do Palo the last night since we didn't want to miss saying goodbye to...

    which limo company to choose

    We used FL Tours to go from Pop Century to Port Canaveral and then back to the airport after our January 12th cruise. They were great. I liked that they didn't charge extra for car seats or for a grocery store stop. Since they are sponsors of disboards (and I got good references on them,) I...

    Silly towncar transfer question

    Some of the town car companies do charge. We ended up going with FL Tours since we would need three seats and they didn't charge. They were also wonderful -- highly recommend them!

    Three days to go...the packing obsession begins..

    As Gina said, the counselors do not remind kids to use the bathroom. My DD3 had a #1 accident in the club when we were visiting Tulum all day. Fortunately, I had a friend who was staying on board keep our beeper and she was able to change DD's clothes. They did not ban her from the club. It...

    Autograph page designs- all pages restored 8/7/10

    I don't know if anybody else does it this way, but I input the pages into Power Point and I can size them that way. For my DDs autograph books, I made all the pages 6 x 6. That was a really good size to use. Pat (you can find her thread elsewhere on Creative DISigns makes personalized cover...

    75 day booking question

    Sometimes, you'll find that you can make reservations even earlier than 12:01 EST. On our day 75, some people in our group actually made reservations at 11:35PM EST on the day before (i.e. Sunday night.) So, it might behoove you to try a little early;)

    Goofy's Galley

    Scoops is still there -- it's just a soft-serve semi-self-serve (meaning there is a CM there sometimes and sometimes you dish it yourself) ice cream place. Nothing fancy. Delicious, though.

    Goofy's Galley

    If you look on this website that shows the 9th deck http://www.02cruise.com/Ships/deck.asp?Line=disney&Ship=disney%20magic&Deck=9 , look aft for Scoops (it's on the starboard side aft of the aft elevators.) Goofy's Galley is approximately where the s in "Scoops" is. It's like Pluto's dog house...

    Do you fly in the day before you sail???

    I've done it 3 different ways for each of the 3 cruises I've been on (HAL for first, Princess for second and the Magic for the third and best.) For HAL out of FLL, I flew in the night before. Got in around 10 pm with a 2 year old. While we were there the day before, my DD was totally...

    How far are the ruins from Cozumel?

    I agree -- we were exhausted and so was our DD3. She didn't go on the excursion, but she stayed in Oceaneer's Club while we were gone all day and she was totally beat. Here she is at the pirate party: Tulum was really wonderful!!!!!!! And fortunately, a friend who decided not to leave...

    How far are the ruins from Cozumel?

    Do you mean Tulum or ruins on the island of Cozumel? Tulum is a 45 minutes ferry ride to the mainland, then about a 45 minute bus ride south to Tulum. We were thinking of doing the excursion on our own, but with the possibility of getting back late and missing the ship (AND leaving our DD3 and...

    Please Give Me Your Opinion

    One of my favorite cruises was the one I took with just my daughter. Yes, we were with a friend of mine, but I spent a lot of time away from my friend and either alone or just with my daughter. This was on a HAL ship. At night, my friend, who went to bed early, kept watch on my daughter and I...

    What is the Duck Tape For????

    I was determined to find some use for duct tape on our cruise 2 weeks ago and I did: I apparently bought inferior magnets for my numerous door signs. The magnet part worked but the strips didn't stay stuck on the back of the signs. Duct tape worked magically:thumbsup2 ! Disaster averted -- my...

    Pat's Disney Designs (*BACK after being away way too long*)

    Hi Pat -- I wanted to let you know that on our Disney cruise (we got back last Saturday,) I got numerous comments about how beautiful my girls' autograph books were. The books had the personalized autograph book covers and inside were your autograph pages. I made the cover and pages 6 x 6...
