    shoes in the rain at DL

    I actually bought a pair of those rainboot shoes at Target... They are quite comfortable... And not too hideous looking. Will be trying them out this weekend.

    Swimming at hotels in March? HOJO?

    We are going to DL in March and are thinking of staying at the HOJO. Do people typically swim in March or is it too chilly?

    Best Cruise Tips I Actually Used

    1 - Wear swimsuits under clothes and take advantage of pools after boarding... My FAVORITE all time DIS tip.... This was the kids' best pool day... they loved going down the Mickey Slide over and over with no line. 2 - Take one of those fold up cardboard drink carriers (like you get at a...

    Pan Pacific Hotel - Vanvouver, BC

    We stayed at the Pan Pacific for 4 nights and loved it. We booked right when the dates became available... I want to say around 9 months prior? And the AAA rate was REALLY good... $149 a night I believe... I think it was kind of a glitch or something because I called back a couple weeks later...

    Island Marketing, Ltd. vs. Cozumel-tours

    MJ - how did the crowds at Playa Mia compare to those at Nachi? The prices seem fairly close.... Nachi sounds like it might be a bit quieter? But I'm thinking our kids (10,7) might enjoy Playa Mia more?

    7 Day Western - Which port would you stay onboard?

    Ooh thanks for the feedback... Keep it coming. :) We are thinking an excursion that includes Stingray Island in Grand Cayman and Nochi Cocom in Cozumel.... So may not plan anything for Costa Maya and stay on the ship that day... I think Costa Maya is a shorter port day as well...

    Separate bookings - same dinner table?

    We traveled with 3 other families last time, and we all booked through different TAs.... We just had to give our TAs the other families' DCL ressie numbers and last names and they hooked us up. We had 5 cabins and it was recommended that we wait to link until we had booked our excursions, Palo...

    Amtrak Seattle - Vancouver

    We took the 7:40 Amtrak Cascades from Seattle to Vancouver last summer.... It was a nice, easy trip. We thought the train station in Seattle was kind of grungy and disorganized, but we did fine with it. I'd suggest paying the extra $19 per person (or whatever it is) to ride business class...

    Off to Aulani, Firstimer to the Islands

    We've been to both Germaine's and Paradise Cove luaus and enjoyed them both. They are definitely touristy... But I'd expect that of any Luau... Oahu has good public transportation, so we don't usually rent a car for the entire trip.... But we do usually rent one for one day and drive to the...

    Ta help!!!!!

    We've used Tracey at Dream Unlimited Travel for our last two trips and she has been great. I'm a control freak, but it is SO nice just to be able to email her and let her do all the work. I'll probably never book myself again.

    Alaska Excursions--post your reviews here!

    Sure. :goodvibes As far as pictures and dinner, I felt like it was pretty similar to the Mexican Riviera cruise we did in 2008. Pirate Mickey and Minnie were there. Captain Jack and Captain Hook were there, etc. We received pirate bandanas at dinner. Some people were not dressed up and some...

    Alaska Excursions--post your reviews here!

    We just got back from the June 14 sailing. They did not have Uncrustables.... But they did make PB&J crustless sandwiches and served them with potato chips... So if you pack some ziploc baggies, you should be good to go. We ordered them the night before, bagged them up and put them in the...

    Rebooking onboard, dummy dates, etc.

    Hi there.... Can some of you expert bookers clarify a few things for me? We are on the June 14th Alaskan and are thinking of rebooking onboard.... But we probably won't sail again until Summer 2013... So we will have to do the dummy date thing. Since we know we are just booking a dummy date...
