    Bad experiences in kids clubs and/or Flounder's?

    That is an AMAZING story! Thanks for sharing it. I'm that type of mom, too -- always imagining the worst. I went to check on my dd in the club once and I was positive she wasn't in there. I ran to the CM and frantically told her my dd was missing and must have gotten out of the club. She looked...

    Ice bucket - packable cooler?

    There's already a cooler in the room -- like a dorm-sized refrigerator except not quite as cold. That worked fine for us. I didn't see need for an extra cooler in the room. Especially considering the free drink station on deck 9. Of course, we didn't bring drinks on with us. We felt there was...

    How deep are the pools

    The Goofy pool was too deep for my dd who was 6 at the time. She would go in with a swim ring and with me, but not by herself. There is no shallow end, it's the same depth all the way around. The Mickey pool is very shallow, like a giant wading pool. I don't think there are life jackets for...

    Help my bear travel please!

    Ah, this brings back fun memories! We took our dd's class bear on our cruise last spring and took pictures of it everywhere! In front of the airplane, on the bus, getting on the ship, at the kids club, at Key West, dressed up for the pirate party, dressed in a little tux for formal night...

    Still Accepting Photo Mattes/Pillow Cases for Signatures?

    The photo is a 5x7 and the frame is 11x14. I got the frame/mat at Michael's and added an embellishment that I picked up in the scrapbooking dept. I liked this mat because it had a nice thick area for everyone to sign. I left the frame at home, wedged the mat between two pieces of cardboard and...

    Still Accepting Photo Mattes/Pillow Cases for Signatures?

    Here's ours. I added the embellishments to the mat before the cruise. Karen :cloud9:

    Stingray City

    We went on the Disney excursion to stingray city and it had "snorkle" in the name, but not the "island tour" one. We were in about waist deep water (except for the kids of course) and we had a great time. They offered snorkles, but we brought our own. I couldn't handle the idea of putting...

    Scuttle's cove pics???

    We dropped our kids off for a bit, but there wasn't much shade there, so we didn't leave them very long. DH and I rode the tram down to Serenity Bay and had a look around. There weren't any umbrellas available, so we headed back, grabbed the kids and went back to the family beach. So, if...

    weather in May

    We did a 7 day western in early May and only had one brief rain shower in Key West. And that was short and warm and everything dried quickly. Very nice! Karen :cloud9:

    Have your servers ever "begged" for a good review on the survey?

    I agree that the surveys are critical to improving/maintaining service, but the fact that they practically told us we MUST mark the highest score for them was a little obnoxious in my book. We were told this on the first night and on the last night. Now, I didn't have a problem giving them the...

    leaving tomorrow! A few last minute questions...

    I don't think they run in the water! :rotfl2: :rotfl: :rotfl2: Sorry, couldn't resist! My dh and I want to do the 5K if we get a chance to go back someday. Karen :cloud9:

    Have your servers ever "begged" for a good review on the survey?

    Yes, we were begged. I thought it was a bit silly because there was no question that they were offering incredible service. How could we have marked them down in the slightest?:confused3 I didn't care for the speech. To me, that's just going to skew their numbers and not give them any useful...

    What toys should I pack for a 3 year old?

    When we cruised with our 3 yo dd several years ago, we packed some of those tiny Disney princess dolls that are like polly pockets. They didn't take up much space, had multiple outfits to change in and out of, etc. Worked like a charm. She even took them in the bath -- especially ariel. :rotfl...

    Adults Only Cruisers...

    I went to a cake decorating/plate decorating workshop that was amazing! Your dh would probably enjoy seeing that, the pastry chef regales you with funny stories of what goes on behind the scenes -- pranks they play on each other, how many cookies are baked each day, etc. Very entertaining. Also...

    Say it ain't so.. no more signed pillowcases?

    I agree that people should show restraint. I've heard the one per person suggestion offered here before. But I also figure it saves them major time and effort in the character greeting lines if they are not having to sign odd objects. We actually sent our kid's autograph books through...

    reason for child to have charge privileges??

    Our kids are younger (8 & 5), so we coulnd't imagine them having any time away from us or the clubs that they would need charging priveleges. We were more concerned with one of them losing their cards and someone else making charges on them. K.

    Wow! Very cute! I'd make sure to personalize it in some way so it doesn't wander away! K.

    PSA: There are NO reserved hammocks on Castaway Cay's Serenity Beach ... PSA

    Don't they do that at some of the beach resorts? I'm not talking about Disney, but others? I thought I had read under some of the shore excursions where they had to "rent" a chair and such. I don't know how I'd feel about having to rent one. Might make me feel like I'm being "nickled and dimed."...

    Losing weight on a cruise....

    I'm a WW person, too (57 lbs and counting) and succeeded in maintaining my loss through our 7 day cruise and 3 days at WDW without counting points. I just took the stairs everywhere, went jogging twice and ate oatmeal for breakfast! I ate several of my lunches at Goofy's and ate what I wanted...
