    Getting off the ship

    It took us about an hour to get out, start to finish. No problems with customs but the line took forever and finding our bags was kind of a mess.

    Laundry Onboard the Dream

    Totally agree with diva. Bring your own purex sheets and save some $. I found the washers to be quite small. Very nice and clean laundry room in fact it was quite beautiful!

    Deck/Feeling motion of ship

    We were on Deck 2 in May on the Dream. I did not feel it moving AT ALL. In fact, I was concerned on our Castaway Cay day that we had left late since I hadn't looked out the window and did not realize we were moving. This ship is incredible and is so large you are not likely to feel much if...

    Hilton Head.. need some help

    HHI is a very romantic place, I would love to plan a trip there without kids...maybe someday. Walking along the beach, sitting the porch and looking out at the marsh, taking a boat ride or fishing trip, a day trip to Savannah or Charleston are a few things you could do. It's a great place...

    Staying at AKL Kanani can we use the pool over at Beach Club Villas?

    I think it depends on which resort you want to go to. We stayed at OKW in May and my husband ran into a coworker at the pool there- they were staying at Shades of Green and remarked that they had tried several DVC pools during their stay.. and that was the end of spring break for many k-12 schools.

    Where is Scooby Doo?

    We are planning a trip next May and want to do a character meal with Scooby...does one exist. I find the info on character dining on the Universal website confusing. Thanks!

    Maiden Name Passport Question

    As long as everything matches for her (passport, reservation, etc) it will be no problem. Plenty of women keep their maiden name. Plenty of couples do not marry and their kids have mom's last name. it's not up to the cruise line to determine who is related to who. If her names don't match...

    What is SSR like at Christmas time? Any pics?

    Just looking for how SSR gets into the Christmas spirit. We were hoping to get a 2bd at AKL but it looks like we are more likely to get SSR. I'm looking forward to it, haven't stayed there yet but I wanted more info on how decorated it is, do people put up trees, etc. Thanks!

    I have been bitten by the DVC bug...

    Hi Kel, Congrats on your big decision, you will not regret it and your kids will love it. Where is your home resort? HHI How did you decide where to call "Home?" We can get to HHI a little easier than WDW and when we have a school age child (ours is 3 now) we want to go during the summer...

    29 days to go - My top "simple" pleasures of WDW

    Wow, what a relaxing email. Lots of people don't realize how relaxing it is to stay in one of these resorts but that is what I love about them. To totally escape. Where are the internet radio stations that play park music?

    OKW Buildings

    We stayed in 13 and 23 in May. I preferred 23, we had an amazing view. Both are short walks.

    Just booked my first cruise ever on the Dream, lots of

    the room service menu is limited, we typically ordered coffee and tea for breakfast plus a little extra snack for my son. The muffins are really good the toast was not edible and the fruit salad- almost inedible. It's good if you need a little pick me up in the AM and we did not try it for any...

    POST YOUR DISNEY DREAM TIPS/MUST do'S!

    We had planned on arriving there at 2 but we got there at 12:30. We were on the ship by 1:30. It looks very daunting when you get there, there are tons of people everywhere but the lines move fast and you can board quickly.

    Dream Cruise April 28-May1 TR

    It has taken me a while to get around to this but I have finally made the time. My cruising party was myself, my DH, my DS (3), and my parents. We arrived the night of April 27 flying from Dulles. We rented a car because we wanted more flexibility. If we did it again, I don't know that we...

    Just off the dream - some observations

    We are booked on the 4/28 cruise. I was wondering where and when you book things like the spa experiences? I haven't been able to find that info anywhere. Thanks! Great TR!

    Castaway Cay Private Cabanas

    I'm confused. We're on the Dream departing April 28 and there is no option to book the Cabana online... you book them on-board? I see where some folks, it looks like, have booked them in advance. How? Thanks!

    Unexpected Trip in February--What to Do?

    hmmm, that's a tough one. Feb might have some nice sunny days but probably not pool weather. AKL is a really nice place to just relax, do some people watching, reading, hanging out with the animals. You could also go and tour the other resorts, I have always wanted to just go and walk around...
