    Online check-in booking port adventures and more: two groups - one silver, one new cruisers

    What lanejudy has said summarizes it perfectly. One additional option - take one of your silver members and move them into your parents room. At that point both rooms are "silver" and all can book the PAT and Excursions, Spa, Palo/Remy, etc at the Silver mark. It's trivial to move the other...

    HELP Tortola - TT21 Virgin Island Sail, Snorkel, and Beach and TT44 Treasure Island Snorkel and Swim

    So we did the TT21 on our April 17th sailing. We grouped up in Fathoms around 12:30 I think. We walked out to the dock and loaded on the catamaran named "No Fear". The engine ran the whole time, they did unfurl the large sail as well once out of the bay. We sailed to Norman Island to a...

    Disney Vacation Account not allowing me to transfer funds to my onboard account

    It did in my case. It was $576 dollars and that amount was added into my 2% bonus.

    few questions about Disney Magic

    We're a family of six, and what we did was two passengers in a Balcony Cabin and four passengers in an Interior Cabin directly across the hall. The price per person is just a little bit cheaper if you put 4 in the Interior instead of 3 in each. It's also cheaper than two connecting Balcony...

    Disney Vacation Account?

    The only key is that the account must be open for 120 days. So yes, 120 days from the time you want to PIF, you open an account and put a minimal dollar amount in it. Then some time before your PIF date you load it up fully. Then you call and pay your cruise, then you submit your request for...

    Raise/Target Redcard megathread gone?

    Great thanks. Your rational doesn't make it any less frustrating. It will instead make me think twice about contributing to this community at any future point. Anyone thinking of making a Google Doc as a cheat sheet should be mindful of that as well. Probably would fall under the "rules"...

    Raise/Target Redcard megathread gone?

    What's really annoying is that the thread is missing... with no indication of what happened. That thread was full of great community based information and a legit and pretty simple way to save a LOT of money on Disney vacations. I know that I spent a bit of time documenting and refining my...

    Raise/Target Redcard megathread gone?

    Totally agree with your last sentence. Using the techniques in that old thread, I saved over $2,000 with just a couple of hours of work. I bought 96 Disney cards over the process on probably 25 or 30 Target cards. I'm an IT guy so using a computer comes naturally to me.. If I spent 4 hours...

    Car Seats on cruise

    We had a full car seat, our son was 1.5 years old. We kept it in the bathtub, and took it out to use the shower. By the second day out cabin steward offered to store it in a ships hold and bring it back to us the final night. We had it waiting for us that sad last night. Don't know if that's...

    Cozumel beach recommendations

    We also did Playa Mia - in 2014. I think it was a 15-20 minute drive from the port. Nice water park, descent beach. it did get crowded later in the day, but was not unbearable. My kids have taken to calling it "Break-a Knee-a" because it was a windy day and my youngest and I swam out to the...

    Disney Vacation Account?

    My "Bonus" card came today - for the amount that matches the 2% I spend on the cruise - including setting the remaining $650 on an Onboard Credit. So, while the lack of communication was frustrating to no end - it's all done on my end, and to my satisfaction.

    Using a Disney Vacation Account

    Same here, my TA however requested that I contact them once I've made any payments so they can confirm and enter on their system - since there's no direct tie in between the systems.

    Disney Vacation Account?

    I thought I had posted this on Friday. I did call and after 20 minutes on hold the initial rep told me that my cards were processed on the 14th. He could not tell me the amount or if they has shipped. When I pressed he stumbled around saying that what I was asking was info another department...

    To Laptop or Not to Laptop...

    I would review the CD from Shutters while I was at Shutters. I've read of people doing that.

    To Laptop or Not to Laptop...

    What I did in 2007 since I was so against bringing a laptop - I bought a StarTech InfoSafe. It came with a small battery pack - 4 AA batteries, and a USB connection. I dropped a 120 GB 2.5" IDE hard drive in. When I plug it into a Flash Card reader and then put the Flash card from the camera...

    Disney Vacation Account?

    And so it's been a week - I haven't received any notification yet that my request has been processed. I guess I'll give it until lunch and then call for an update.

    Disney Vacation Account?

    Yes, they will have to call the same number used to pay for the cruise and the system can do it as small as 1 dollar increments. It will come through as an amenity. We had 576 left over after changing from Disney insurance to third party and after my request for the on-board credit, DU...
