Just the close the loop on this - I finally got around to calling DCL and Shoreside services and they said that the policy is that there has to be a 21 year old in the room. That the whole minor-child authorization form allowing a minor to travel with an 18+ that is not a parent or guardian...

HI all - it's been a v. v. long time since I've posted. Haven't done a cruise in 6 years but contemplating a Fantasy cruise in summer 2023. Will have a 20-year-old and a 16-year-old and want to get a separate room for them. I saw one fare rule of "Minors under 18 not traveling with a parent...

Anyone have any recent prices of what full service ironing costs? We're leaving on the Fantasy this Saturday, and I am so overloaded with work and getting ready, I'm ready to throw money at the problem vs. figuring out how to pack the right way to keep things un-wrinkled. And I don't want to...

V. excited about our 3rd Disney Cruise, 2nd with kids, and 1st with extended family. My kids are DS 11 and DD7 (almost 8 by November). Extended family cousins are all older boys - I'd would love to meet up with others w/DDs in the 7-9 range that might be looking for a friend that week? (not...

Wondering what people have experienced in showing up with more people than you have on your rez? I have an Akerhaus breakfast rez for our October trip, for 4 ppl. I've been checking and there is no availibility for larger parties that morning, so it's not a matter of just cancelling and...

I'm in the same boat - first trip this October with a 10 year old. We've paid for DDP in the past and I've loved it (basically for the whole psychological "already paid for" feeling, not that I think I've saved a ton of money) - but there's a big difference in paying $15/a day for a 9 year old...

So I don't know what kind of karma shined upon me this morning but my 180+ window for my 10/9 arrival, and while nothing for BOG was showing online, I am on the phone now and they gave me a 5:15p res for 4 ppl on Oct. 10!!!! Also got a Fantasmic lunch at Mama Melrose's for the following day -...

So we leave tomorrow - I made all my ADRs before they instituted the $10 penalty so my reservations are supposed to be grandfathered into the old policy, right? I did not put down a credit card, etc. for any of them. So I'm starting to get reminder emails for the reservations in day 1 and 2...

I'm an early morning runner and last time I stayed at VWL it was still dark at 6:30a in January and the running paths didn't have good (or any) lights once you get past a certain point, so it wasn't great for me. Don't know if they have improved it at all - now that I think about it, that trip...

Thanks for your reply. I guess I just don't see the difference once we're checked in, in charging to the room. I mean, I'm on the same dining plan as regular room reservations, I'm paying the same amount of money in the shops and it's charged to my KTTW card the same way. Just seems like...

Two years ago when we went w/my MIL on her DVC points, we were all on the same reservation in a 2-bedroom at WL and could only attach one credit card to the room. At the end of our week we had to get our preliminary bill, figure out who had what coded room key, and do our own math to put my...

So we're going in 4 weeks with my MIL on her DVC points - she is a member, we will just have our key cards that say DVC. Does that mean we won't be able to get into the lounge unless she's with us? (or gives us her member card, I guess?)

FYI if you're DVC you only pay the regular season DDP price, not the peak DDP price, even if you're going during a peak week. At least that's what we were charged, for our stay the week leading up to Easter.

I'm very excited to find this thread because I need to get a new bag for my trip in 4 weeks. However, I would love to find something that I can wear cross-body, but also has straps that can be worn as a back-pack. Does this exist?

Thanks to all who gave suggestions on this - I ended up getting them a gift card to Columbia - it sounded like a restaurant I would love to go to, looks like a place where $100 will get them a great meal and drinks, and is in Celebration, where they are looking to possibly rent in when they...

I'm looking for a recommendation for a nice non-WDW, orlando restaurant. My cast-member BIL and his new wife are transferring back to Orlando and the mother-ship (i.e. WDW) in January and don't want a lot of "stuff" for Christmas so we wanted to give them a gift certificate to a nice restaurant...

So I just looked at the Travel Agency calendar for April 2012 (http://media.disneywebcontent.com/StaticFiles/DTA-Domestic/pdf/ParkHours/WDW_Operating_Calendar_Apr.pdf) which someone kindly directed me to recently (since the WDW site doesn't have them yet and I need to start planning!) Having...

Excellent - thanks to all!

I'm starting to plan for an April 2012 trip and want to have a rough park plan in place for when I start dining reservations at the end of this month - but it looks like they only have hours thru Feb. 2012 on the WDW site. Anyone know when they will release further out? Thx.

Yeah, it would be the week before Easter that is our Spring Break. So - busy. But worse than 4th of July? I'm hoping someone might have experience w/both? Thanks!
