    Which holiday?

    I am in the process of booking Dis Cruise. We did WDW in 2008 for Halloween and loved it. I want to book Fantasy or Dream and am not picky on ports. It's me (single mom) my 12 yr old son. My dad recently passed away and he was the rock/planner of all family holidays. Now that he's gone, my...

    Need help with last minute DIS Cruise

    I just found out I'm getting nice bonus next week. My son is turning 10 on March 18th and he has Spring Break at the end of March. I want to find and book last minute cruise. Don't care what ship or length/destination although I'd prefer over 4 days. Any advice? I am single Mom so it would...

    Anyone get a PIN recently?

    I got the Monster one today in both e-mail addresses. I had gotten it a couple months ago but didn't use it. They sent again? I'd LOVE a cruise PIN - do they have those? I want to take 7 yo ds on cruise in October.

    Yikes - just booked my first Disney Cruise...

    Thank you all so much for your responses. I'm going through the divorce funk (even though I do divorces/family law for a living) - different when it's your own. I really needed something to look forward to and since DS7 and I are HUGE Disney fans, I thought it would be a good first vacation as...

    Yikes - just booked my first Disney Cruise...

    I'm going through a divorce and just booked my 7 year old and I on the Wonder sailing 10/31/10. I had read on Mousesavers about Cabin 7120 so we booked that cabin. I think I'm going to need a nice warm vacation around October! Has anyone been on a Halloween cruise? We spent Halloween 08...

    Deposit?

    I'm a soon to be single mom and I want to book something to look forward to for my 7 year old and I. We went to WDW in 2008 and I want to go on a Dis Cruise. First, is a 4 day enough for a 7 year old or should we do the 7? Also, when you book, can you make a deposit and then pay over time...

    Neverland Club

    We took 3 kids there ages 6, 6 and 4 in October 2008. They thought it was a Club where only kids were allowed. When you check them in, they go through a window (Wendy's window) and into the Club. It looked FUN! The kids had a blast and didn't want to leave. They played dress up, did...

    Chef Mickey's Dinner - not worth the $$$

    We went last October and I agree with you on the fact that it's expensive for so-so food. We did the dinner and the food was good but the experience was AWESOME! It was by far my son's favorite dinner (he's 6) because he got to meet all the characters without waiting in line. The smile on his...

    I feel so dumb. LOL Need help with PIN

    I just received a PIN code - last one wasn't that good of a deal so I didn't respond or book. We were just at Poly last October (for dh birthday). The only way I'd go again so soon is for a super good deal. I remember hearing about PIN codes when I was booking trip last year but never got...

    Official Birthday/Anniversary Cake thread Part II

    It was just last week. They have to have 48 hours notice for custom cake but I was able to order Mickey cake that night. Nothing phenomenal but good. I would say 6 nice size pieces but it was small cake compared to round one from a regular bakery. I think it cost me $21. We were at Kona...

    Waiting in Line to Meet Characters...

    I really appreciate all of your comments because I like to see things from opposite sides too. Really. :) I did have one HUGE realization during our trip. There is not enough $$ in the world they could pay me to be a Disney CM who had anything to do with being a character or escort. No...

    Waiting in Line to Meet Characters...

    I understand all points, I really do. Like I said, if it's a parent holding for one child, great - I know the parent in front of me isn't waiting for herself for the PW, it's the 10 kid thing that ultimately got my goat, not the holding a single spot thing. The parent I had words with wasn't...

    A few pics of Tink and friends

    My friend and her two daughters were *dreamed* at MK on 10/22. They were stopped by a dream team member and my friend was asked if she wanted to meet Tink and the other fairies - it was her family and two other families - that's it. Anyway - I've cropped out my friends' kids faces but here's...

    Toy Story Mania Strategy

    We were there on 10/25 and the park didn't seem busy at all. Of course, it was the first time I'd been but I usually start stressing out in crowds and I never felt that way. I had read about all the hoopla on Toy Story so my initial plan was to get there early and run and get a FP. Then, we...

    Chef Mickey's

    I read about this here before we went and made our ADR a few months ahead of time. I just wanted anyone contemplating it to know that it is WELL worth the $$! I had no clue (probably didn't read enough) that characters came to every table (ours at least twice), signed autographs, took...

    Waiting in Line to Meet Characters...

    I generally think it's rude to cut in line and it's something I would never do BUT if a dad is saving a spot for mom and child while they run to the bathroom or whatever, I'm totally fine with that (JMO). BUT, this situation was WAY different, this was (my guess) 3-4 families because there was...

    Waiting in Line to Meet Characters...

    I didn't know it was something I could report - I think I was too astonished that someone would do it. Honestly, if there were plenty of time, I don't think I would have said anything but then again, I don't think it would have happened in the first place. I think the Power Rangers...

    Waiting in Line to Meet Characters...

    We just got back from Orlando last weekend. Now that I've had a week or so to digest our experience I wanted to pass along something that REALLY surprised me about or trip and also the one and ONLY thing that infuriated me to the point of a verbal exchange with another mom. First, the good -...
