    Don't know why, but DCL still holds a special place in our family.

    Ahh yes, "Sunday evening at home" - perfect analogy! And such wonderful memories you have!

    Don't know why, but DCL still holds a special place in our family.

    Eh, life happens! Jobs, graduations, weddings, relocations, and everything in between. And a whole world that isn't just the Bahamas, Eastern or Western Caribbean, or Alaska. One goes out, explores, does things that are now just 2 people, but yet one can still say that, of any other cruise...

    Don't know why, but DCL still holds a special place in our family.

    It has been almost 8 years since the last time I went on a DCL vacation, and that was with just my youngest daughter before she finished college. I realize the DCL experience has changed since then, and maybe it isn't what it used to be, I don't know. Yet, I still feel a longing to be on the...

    Just curious - Hobbiton/LOTR on New Zealand ABD?

    Thank you, Sayhello! That was very helpful! I am putting together some talking points with which to approach my husband as I talk up New Zealand, and I am bummed that Hobbiton/LOTR is not a part of the ABD tour. I had hoped there were new rumours of it being included for 2024, but I suppose...

    Just curious - Hobbiton/LOTR on New Zealand ABD?

    New Zealand is a dream for me. My husband is finally starting to seriously consider it. We have done one ABD before, the Danube cruise. My husband really liked that, so New Zealand with ABD is a strong possibility, though the price is OMG staggering! Still, the itinerary and activities...

    Which brand for shampoo/conditioner/soaps? And a baby crib question!

    Thank you! My family all appreciates the H2O products, so if that’s what it is in the rooms still we will be thrilled! That scent just invokes so many great memories of past vacations. And the pack’n’play already in the room will be very helpful. Now if only it came with a magic wand to help...

    Which brand for shampoo/conditioner/soaps? And a baby crib question!

    Heading to Aulani in a couple weeks with family. I was wondering, which brand of toiletries are in the rooms? We are 6 adults and the grandchildren, and will be sharing the 3 bedroom villa. In that room, do all the bathrooms have the wall mounted shampoo/conditioners, or are the toiletries...

    Hot flash relief - Veozah (fezolinetant) approved!

    Ladies of a certain age, if you suffer from hot flashes but cannot (or prefer not to) take hormones, there is a new medication that was recently approved. I am spreading the word because I was part of the clinical trials for this drug, and it worked for me. Of course, do see your doctor and...

    6.5 Hour Delay & Missed Port= NOTHING

    I had friends on this cruise. I was surprised how this was all handled from even before boarding. It’s been a few years, but we were once delayed boarding for a Disney cruise. Something going on at the port, I don’t remember what. I DO remember the unexpected goodwill gesture from DCL of an...

    Anyone Else Concerned about Sub-Tropical Storm Nicole This Week?

    I have a family member trying to get in for that cruise also. Flight to MCO cancelled. Right now, they have rebooked into Tampa and will rent a car. Tampa sent out a notice earlier that they are planning to remain open. If Tampa closes, they plan to try for Jacksonville or FLL, maybe MIA...

    Did room stays used to include a water park or ESPN option? And luggage tags?

    Thanks for letting me know my memory isn't totally wrong! :sunny: I still have, and use, the luggage tags that had Tinkerbell on them. They have been many places, and are showing much wear, so I should replace them, but they are so cute, and they remind me of vacations gone by when I see them...

    Did room stays used to include a water park or ESPN option? And luggage tags?

    Perhaps my memory is failing me, but I have a couple of tickets from years ago that are for one's choice of ESPN or a water park visit. For the life of me, I can't remember if these were part of the "extras" that were given when one was staying at a Disney hotel? I have a vague memory of...

    The Perils of International Travel during Covid

    This may or may not be feasible for you, but if you can find any flights from American to a city within a few hours from your destination, with a large train station, look into it. I say that because train travel in Europe is fantastic, and I may just be using that option for our trip home...

    Aulani always booked all summer?

    Thanks for the help in explaining what’s happening! Such a bummer, but it is what it is. Douglas Dubh, one of my family members is a teacher and teachers report back in early August in her district. Work really does get in the way of having fun! 😄

    Aulani always booked all summer?

    Since my family (all fully vaccinated as of next week!) can't go visit our relatives overseas this summer, we have the thought of going to Hawaii. Never been, always wanted to go, let's give it a try! We are DVC members. About 2 or so years ago, I looked at going to Aulani in July after a...

    A Car Rental Apocalypse Is Coming: Here’s What You Need To Know

    7 weeks ago, I reserved a 7 passenger SUV at Avis for pick-up tomorrow. Just received a call that there are no SUVs available. None. Anywhere within 1.5 hour driving distance. One exception - found an SUV at SIXT, but only 5 passenger, for 5 times more than I had the Avis reserved for. To...

    Is Pom Bar, cheese flavoured, in the US?

    Thanks for the help with that link. I’ll keep checking there. I’ve previously purchased this in Austria and Eastern Europe. I can find it on Tesco’s European site but it won’t ship here. I was really hoping I could get it in America but I suppose not. Regular Pom Bar will have to do. Pom Bar...

    Is Pom Bar, cheese flavoured, in the US?

    I am trying to find the cheese flavoured Pom Bar here in the US. It's the only thing my daughter is requesting for her birthday. She is a teacher, and it's been a rough year all around, so I am hoping to surprise her with something that will bring a huge smile to her face. Problem is, I can't...
