    Anyone just back from the Dream? Question??

    Deano is awesome. He was on our Dream 5-night double-dip last summer and this most recent cruise as well. Does a great job.

    My Disney Experience -- Anyone else having problems logging in today (7/6/18)

    Guest web services has been terrible today as well. Must be a widespread issue.

    "Official" 2018 Disney After Hours (DAH) Thread (Now Closed, see New 2019 Thread)

    We are going this Saturday (7/7) and can’t wait!! Won’t be able to get to the park until 9:30 or so, but it should still be a great night.

    Fantasy 7 night DVC Member Cruise! August 26, 2017! It's a Grand Slam!

    We also LOVE CC - and would definitely book a double dip just to do that. My wife and I are celebrating our 20th anniversary next year and are looking to use our placeholder to celebrate! As to the recommendation, it all depends if you like doing excursions through Disney or not. In our 3...

    Fantasy 7 night DVC Member Cruise! August 26, 2017! It's a Grand Slam!

    In full disclosure, there was a member of our tour group that did the walking and climbing in a walking boot. I have no idea how she did it but it was impressive and I also believe quite difficult. I give her an A+ for effort and trying to get the most out of it! This was only our 2nd Member...

    Excursion recommendations for Eastern Caribbean itinerary

    We did the Baths through DCL (TT23) but wouldn't do it again. If anything we'd do it on our own. The Disney tours have too many people and this causes a huge traffic jam on the trail and in the caves. You might save $$ by doing it on your own. We relied on DCL this time because my wife was...

    Fantasy 7 night DVC Member Cruise! August 26, 2017! It's a Grand Slam!

    We took the Tour to Virgin Gorda (TT23)on the Member Cruise. High speed ferry to Virgin Gorda, then the open air bus through some not so nice looking areas up to the Top of the Baths park, which is at a high point. You then hike down to Devil's Bay for a quick swim, then through the caves to...

    Fantasy 7 night DVC Member Cruise! August 26, 2017! It's a Grand Slam!

    Just checked online and it looks like they finally confirmed Pirate Night for Day 4. Perhaps I missed it but seems as though it took a while to add to the activities page.

    Fantasy 7 night DVC Member Cruise! August 26, 2017! It's a Grand Slam!

    We were considering it but didn't see the DVC discount. It isn't a great deal but better than leaving MK at 7. Do they discount child admission as well?

    Disney Cruise Line v. Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas comparison

    Thank you for posting this review. Living in NJ, we haven't taken any cruises out of NY/NJ yet (I know, seems odd), but this review tells me that we probably should give it a shot with RCL. We've done a few Disney cruises out of Port Canaveral coupled with a few days at WDW, but I can see a...

    Disneyland at Christmas/Holiday Season Superthread #5

    We were there tonight, and you could see it coming... you could see the wind picking up in how the smoke from the fireworks moved. Wind is usually the #1 reason why fireworks at DL are canceled and I would bet that they believed the winds were lighter when the show started. Bummer for us...

    Disneyland at Christmas/Holiday Season Superthread #5

    It wasn't obvious how they would use it - some sort of additional projector screen? They had workers climb the supports of the wheel to get it aligned. We won't get another chance this trip. I'll be interested in hearing if they got the kinks worked out.

    Disneyland at Christmas/Holiday Season Superthread #5

    You may have to wait a day or two for the full review of this year's show. We went last night and it appeared they were trying to hang a giant white Mickey head off of the Fun Wheel, only it got caught. Ended up delaying the show almost 30 minutes for them to take it down and run the show...

    Member Cruise booking progress! Pixie dust to all! Sold out!

    Hang in there. It is excruciating, I know. 2 hours of dialing, 45 minutes on hold and then luckily only another 15 minutes to do the details. Held my breath when she put me on hold to confirm... Like you, we also wanted 4C and they were available (as was 4B, and 4A). BTW - the process goes...

    Oh my, that's awful. I'm still trying and thinking this isn't going to work out.

    DVC Member Cruise ~ August 24, 2015

    First cruise for the whole family will be this August Member Cruise! Really looking forward to it, though I think we will skip the FE. It will be crazy enough trying to get prepped for this trip. We will be bookending this one with a WDW visit also.

    Grand Californian Super Thread

    I assume you mean the DVC 7 month window, correct? It is only a sample size of one, but for this past Thanksgiving we had booked our home resort (BLT) at 11 months and then made the change to VGC at the 7 month window. Called exactly at the 7 month window and was able to get a 2BR villa no...

    WDW veteran wanting to try DLR

    We just visited Disneyland and DCA over Thanksgiving for the first time ourselves. We absolutely loved it! We flew in an out of LAX and did 7 nights at the Villas at Grand Californian, then 1 night in San Diego and 1 night back near LAX. The focus of the trip was on DLR, and not as much San...
