Disney cruises are wonderful, but even Disney can't control the weather. I'm sure there are all kinds of logistics involved with changing ports at the last minute. I think if I would be heartbroken if I missed Castaway Cay, I wouldn't plan a cruise during hurricane season. Having said...

My daughter was also terrified of the characters. She was ok with characters like Cinderella because they looked "human." I was not prepared for this terrified reaction at first, and it was really a challenge at Disney World. On Disney cruises we had far fewer encounters. We always warned...

Mike has been on numerous Disney cruises. I happened to be staying at the Wilderness Lodge the night he won the Phenomenon show. We just love him!! He is funny and talented, and I'm so glad to hear he's on the Dream!

I am happy for Jennifer. She is a talented, beautiful woman who has been recognized nationally more than once for her talent. She has overcome obstacles I hope I never have to face. Sounds like the big cheese at Disney didn't consult any of us beforehand, and if they read this discussion...

I realize everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, but some of the comments on here are so mean spirited. I'm all for free speech, but with all the mean speech in the "real world," I would hope the DISboards would be a gentler place. Beth

I like to think I'm a reasonable and adventurous person; however, I'm going to pass on Mexico for awhile. There are so many places to enjoy a vacation, and I know there are risks everywhere, but I think I'll wait til the environment is less hostile. I might feel differently if I weren't...

For the muster drill, does anyone say anything if some members of a family are absent? I'm thinking one parent could stay in the room with a child who might be upset by the noise and the crowding. Anyone know? Beth

In 2007 we took a Disney cruise in the Mediterranean. Heathrow Airport lost ALL our luggage for 6 days!!!! Our travel insurance (eventually) reimbursed us for all the clothes, underwear, makeup, etc. we had to buy to survive those days without clothes. We didn't get some of our luggage back...

We were in 7052 for our Baltic cruise in July, and we've sailed in 7052 on an earlier Caribbean cruise as well. The room was in good condition, and the balcony was also good. We like that room because it is close to the elevators. No problems here! Beth

We did a "high speed" boat ride once in the Bahamas. It took us by the outside of Atlantis, and it wasn't very expensive. Then we shopped along the way back to the ship. Nice excursion if you don't want to spend a lot of time in Nassau. Beth

We enjoyed a nice dinner at Emeril's on CityWalk. Doesn't sound like you have time, but on Thansgiving we had dinner at The Boheme Restaurant in the Grand Bohemian Hotel in downtown Orlando. I don't usually rave about food, but that was the BEST meal I have had in a long time. Even my teenage...

We were also there for Thanksgiving, and we stayed at Portofino Bay, so we have all three hotels covered. The hotel was beautiful, and we enjoyed our stay. We took the water taxi or the rickshaw to the parks. I'll agree Wednesday was a lot busier than Friday or Saturday. Thursday was my...

I have NEVER been so soaked as I was on the Popeye rapids ride. I couldn't have been wetter if I'd jumped into a pool. I had to buy more pants or we would have left the park for the day. There are people dryers at the exit, but we didn't see them at that time. Not sure why anyone would...

I have done #5. They do a scrub with a lime/ginger mix all over you arms, back and legs. Then you rinse off and they give you a nice massage. Your skin feels smooth and tingly all day! Beth

We just got back from Universal. Thanksgiving is a busy time, so our experience may be different. We stayed in line over an hour for Ollivander's. It was a cute show (about 5 minutes). However, if I had known, I would have skipped the long line and the show and bought the wand at one of many...

On our Baltic cruise in July on the Magic there was a significant leak near Topsider's. It ran down several floors along the staircase. They were busy fixing it, but I wondered what was going on! Beth

We have sailed with Disney, Carnival, and Royal Caribbean. I agree with a pp about different preferences for different cruises. We found Carnival to have the best food and the best prices. We switched around because we wanted to go places Disney wasn't going at the time. For a super...

On our Baltic cruise every night at 11:00pm like clockwork our neighbor started snoring. We could hear him clearly, but after a few nights it was kind of like white noise. I think it actually HELPED me fall asleep! On another cruise (and cruise line) I was awakened by the sound of vomiting...

I hope you have a wonderful trip! All of the suggestions are great, but the BEST part is you will make your own special moments that you will never forget. Very best wishes to you and your family. I can't wait to hear about it popcorn:: Beth

My favorite part is sitting on my balcony at sailaway with a glass of wine and listening to the horn. The Magic feels like home to us. We explore the world from our own bedroom.... :cloud9: Beth
