Just go to the service desk when you get to the park on the first day and say you want to upgrade your ticket, you'll just pay the difference in value between your ticket and the type of ticket you want to upgrade to.

If you happen to have a Chase Sapphire charge card, you can cash in 5000 points for a 1 day Universal ticket. In general, 5000 points = $50 worth of gift cards, so getting an adult 1 day ticket for that many points is a pretty good deal.

With stuff like this, you really have to set a cut off. If you keep adding people in late, it's frustrating for the other members of the group. If a due date was posted, and it's long gone, I'd tell the people coming late that you're sorry, but it's just to late to join in now that gifts have...

I got that response at first too, but I wrote back and told them they definitely could do this, because I'd read about others getting the tickets from their congressmen. I included a few links to posts like these and they wrote back a few days later and said they were able to contact KSC and...

All you have to do is put a note on your reservation requesting a table by yourself. We're a family of 4 and we've done this multiple times and never had a problem.

Coral World is nice, but the real highlight there is Coki beach. It's a great beach and since it's on the other side of the island, it tends to be less busy than the other beaches are. The problem is, well, it's on the other side of the island, so if you do it yourself, the ride takes awhile...

Disney knows how much each airline charges for bags. They will total up the bags you check, calculate the fees, and bill them to your shipboard account.

FYI, in January, most of the places the Magic goes are still going to be around 85 degrees and sunny. It isn't like it's cold. The only place you are likely to see chilly weather during the day would be the first day in PC, or possible on your CC day, where the temps are usually in the 70s.

We go every year in January, and the water at Castaway is always freezing. I would recommend picking up a wetsuit on Ebay or something before your trip.

They can do it, but its not a common request so sometimes they don't know what you are talking about. I initially got a response like that back from my congressman's office, but I wrote back and sent them some web links pointing out other people that had gotten free tickets... a few days later...

We go every year in January -- weather is generally in the 80s and sunny. Castaway Cay is further north though, so the day there is sometimes a bit cooler.. usually low 70s.

They give them to you free upon check-in if you are a Castaway Club member (have cruised before). If it is your first cruise, you can buy them in the gift shop onboard.

My family went a few years ago... It's a nice place to visit, but it won't take long at all to see everything. You would be hard pressed to spend more than an hour there.

Aft is a great location, we always stay there. Never had any problem with motion, and a lot of the places you are going to be spending a lot of time are closer to you when you are aft ... all of the restaurants are aft except for Lumieres, Mickey Pool is aft, beverage station, etc....

Maybe the lines are different on 7 day vs. the shorter cruises... we've only gone on 7 day trips and in our experience there have always been plenty of chances to get pictures and autographs. There are usually lines, but I definitely didn't feel like we spent our entire cruise in line, it was...

I hate it when people put a bunch of junk on chairs and then walk away. When all the chairs at the pool are full, I watch for like 10 minutes and if I don't see anyone come back, I just move the stuff and sit down. I can understand someone running to the bathroom real quick or something, but...

Budget shuttles run constantly, shouldn't be more than a 5 minute wait worst case. We use Budget every year. Just throw the entire family in the shuttle, it's easier than driving back.

A really easy way to search the forums is to use Google. Just go to google and type whatever you are searching for, and on the end put "site:disboards.com" and Google will only show results from this site. For example if you wanted to find posts about Castaway Cay you would google "Castaway...

You can take a taxi to Chankanaab, there is a lot to do there... beaches, snorkling, dolphins, lots of trails to walk on and cool sights to see.

So you took your kid(s) with you on a Disney cruise, and were disappointed because other people did the same thing? Sorry, it's Disney, there are always going to be families on board, regardless of what time of year it is. We go each year in January, mostly because the rates are good, and...
