    Coronavirus and DCL Megathread - Suspension of Departures for the fleet until early November. Booking only available from early December.

    As someone from China (not Wuhan) and is watching the matter probably more closely than most of people here, I would say, certain amount of caution is needed. It's Chinese New Year. People don't just go home. People travel for fun too. And with the rising up middle class, people travel abroad...

    Anyone else hate using a TA but feel like you need one?

    I use a TA for the sole purpose of getting on board credit. I found mine on cruise compete and she gives the biggest OBC. I have used her for couple times. She booked my cruises and handled my payments and that was it. I do all the planning myself.

    Any non-fans of Castaway Cay?

    Beach hater here. On our last month cruise, I didn't even take my cover up off once and only dipped my feet in the water twice maybe. I was happy just sitting in the shade watching my family play. I could tolerate the sand for that. I really don't think the beach is that awesome either. I...

    Palo Mediocre Food

    We went last week as an early anniversary celebration. The service was top notch. The view and atmosphere were great. The buffet was awesome. By sharing with my husband, we managed to try almost everything and most were delicious. I ordered the lasagna , it was ok, a little too salty for...

    Conceirge or Not?

    I was silver for my past cruise, which was during Thanksgiving week so the ship was quite full. Palo brunch was not available on 60 days mark, but I got an early port arrival time, was in group 5 to get on the ship at about 11:55am, went immediately to wait in line for dinning changes and was...

    I was on the same cruise! I agree with a lot of the things you said. I will try to post a review tonight after the kids go to bed.

    Timing and Vacation Package Question about May 2020 Tokyo DL Trip

    We may do that depending how much we pack! I am going to disappear for a while. Going on a Disney Cruise this Saturday. I am forcing myself not to think about two vacations at the same time for the next couple days. It has been driving me nuts for a while now. When I come back, I am sure I will...

    Timing and Vacation Package Question about May 2020 Tokyo DL Trip

    Thanks. Your reply definitely added some points to Hilton for me! Again, thank you for the solid suggestions! My daughter (and a big part of me) got really scared on ToT ride. I am very chicken when it comes to rides. But, my teenager son would love to try the ToT if it's different! I am...

    Shanghai DL Review from Last Year

    Now here is the particularly bad part. I would not post the review in Chinese or via Chinese social media. As I am writing this today, a year after the trip, I feel I still have to take out some of details. I’ll explain why. I mentioned that we got in for free because one of my relative was...

    Shanghai DL Review from Last Year

    Quick back ground: DH and I were born and raised in Shanghai. Our kids were born and raised in US but we travel back almost every year, mostly in summer. Last summer, I was planning a visit to Shanghai DL when we traveled back. I was going to do a package, but didn't due to two reasons 1)...

    Timing and Vacation Package Question about May 2020 Tokyo DL Trip

    I think our family would be totally okay skipping ToT & TSMM. We may want to try Soaring since the ending will be different. The Digital FP would be our nightmare. When we went to Shanghai Disneyland, we arrive at the park about an hour before park opening, waited 90 mins go get into the park...

    Timing and Vacation Package Question about May 2020 Tokyo DL Trip

    Hi, Wally and dmar, thank you so much for the replies. They are so helpful! To answer Wally's questions: we will landed around 2pm after a 13 hour flight. We typically don't immediately sleep after international travel but we also haven't done anything like Disney. When we go visit family in...

    Hi, all, we just booked airline tickets for 12 days in Tokyo. The exactly date is May 25th to June 5th, 2020. Given our booking window will open soon, I have some questions and need your suggestions! A little bit background: We are seasoned Disney travelers. We have had Annual Pass to FL...

    Post Cruise Survey - Annual Earnings and Net Worth

    Many budgeting tools track you net worth for you. I know mine. I mean it's not accurate to the penny, but ball park correct. That being said, I am not telling that to Disney though. I mean what do I get for telling them that? LoL

    I was scammed before my cruise

    Yes. We traveled to Philadelphia last month. I now kick myself for thinking Taxi maybe better regulated and safer when we first landed. The airport taxi driver would not let my husband sit in front row, instead he wanted four of us squeeze into 2nd row. "You kid is so small, you can just...

    Do cast members take family pictures for you as they do in the parks?

    This makes a lot sense now. I may have asked a photographer instead a handler, but then again, I don't entirely remember. I also felt it was very different on the ship vs in the park, as in the park, the handlers usually offer to take a family pic with me. Thank you all for the suggestions! I...

    Do cast members take family pictures for you as they do in the parks?

    I am about to go on a Fantasy cruise and I am trying to decide if I should order the photo package. My last Disney cruise was seven years ago so I don't clearly remember everything. I very vaguely remember that one of the cast member declined taking family picture for me at one of the...

    Stealing from stateroom doors

    I am only commenting on the bold part and I am not trying to say one should ask for surveillance video review for stolen pins. You would be amazed how technology works now. I had a hit and run on my car in my company garage earlier this year. All I know was where I parked and it was a long...

    Do You Have A Go-To Lunch?

    Half of the time I bring left over. Quarter of the time, I buy lunch from my company cafe. Our cafe is really good. A set lunch of one main, two sides and soft drink is around $9.50. Not exactly cheap, but the food is usually top notch, like lobster tail, scallops, fresh made sushi, made to...
