We have also done the early walk off with our own luggage and always make it to the parks just after opening. I would get the three day if you are ready to go straight to the parks after you disembark.
Our family has been to Narcooses and really enjoyed it. On the other hand I wouldn't mind trying something new. For anyone has been to both- what is your opinion?
We are a family of 5 and it is my DS (10) first time on the adult dining plan! We were going to do Cali Grill and he vetoed it...
We only ordered pizza, so I cannot answer the first question, but they do offer plain cheese or cheese & pepperoni pizza's. it is all the same style, with a wafer thin crust and lighter sauce. My kids 8, 7 & 5 absolutely loved it(and so did I).
If you are normally 5 and have an opportunity to go as 4, stay at AKL! That is probably my fave resort. Although the transportation isn't as convenient as a monorail or Epcot resort, the resort (Jambo) is amazing!
Unless they put something out to get into the pool area I don't think the MB's will change this much. I would keep mine on as a room key, but our kids were getting annoyed with the bands and would take them off before we went to the pool.
We are going on 8/15 for 3 nights before moving over to CSR with my in-laws. We are definately doing it backwards - starting with CL deluxe and then moving to a moderate!
Thanks! I went in and it let me order the Magic Bands.
We are not on a package with tickets, but on a TA rate that is treated as a package. We have AP's for our tickets.
That is what is weird. It won't let us select FP+ times while we are at the resort that we are testing the magic bands in, only when we are at the non-test resort.
We are doing a split stay in August. First three nights we are under a TA rate at CR, then we switch to CS for 7 nights, under the free dining bounce back. We have AP's and will be using those the entire trip, saving the two day tickets for another trip.
We were able to get the Magic Bands...
Magic Band testers - how close you your trip were you asked to test? We just booked for CR about a week ago, for 3 weeks from now. Wondering if that will take us out of the running?
This probably depends on the cruise. DH and DS were booked as double riders (I booked days after I did online check-in). They had one of the earliest excursion times and when they arrived they were told they were the only ones booked and asked to come back an hour later and join the next...
$600 seems like a very reasonable amout to upgrade on a 4 night cruise. I would book it now. Fall of 2014 is a long ways away and those rooms could very well be sold out before you arrive at port. I am a TA and in a recent newsletter they stated that beginning this summer Disney is offering...
Things I wish I knew/glad I knew for my first cruise:
1. Arrive at the port early & bring a bathing suit. We were able to board the ship quickly upon our arrival. We had lunch at Cabanas and then changed into our suits to swim. It was the least crowded I saw the pools for our entire 4-night...
