    Nearly All Major Cruise Lines Dropping Mask Mandates (article)

    Oh how I wish they would drop the port testing. I want to book a summer cruise but when we sailed in January it was incredibly stressful worrying about whether or not we would make it on the ship, after all the travel just to get to Florida. I said I wouldn't go again until they drop that...

    UPDATE - CDC investigating all four Disney Cruise ships

    This has been our experience in Alabama as well. I had my son's PCR test done yesterday at CVS and was notified today due to high volume of tests we won't get results back for 3-4 more days. That doesn't work with our cruise schedule since we leave on Friday. I've spent most of today scrambling...

    Confirmed reduced capacity at least though February.

    I thought capacity was already reduced? I was hoping so at least since we are cruising this weekend.

    Early arrival at port

    I am curious how this went as well. We have a driver taking us to port and it looks like we may arrive about an hour early. I was wondering what there would be to do? Is there anywhere to sit?

    Anyone with recent Port Canaveral experience? Help me understand luggage!

    I was wondering how this works as well. We plan to have backpacks and rolling carryon bags with us. We are being dropped at the port by a driver so no where to store bags while we test. I don't want to hand over our bags until I know our Covid tests are all negative. Hoping they will let us keep...

    Here we go again :( 48 Covid cases on Royal Caribbean returning to Miami

    I didn't think about having to quarantine b/c of a close contact in the kid's clubs onboard. Ugh, we are scheduled on a NYE cruise on the Dream. I'm afraid the possibility of a forced quarantine onboard might just be what makes us pull the trigger on canceling.

    Stalking Fatigue- anyone else?

    I released a 1BR SV at Kidani this morning for those dates. Not club level unfortunately...

    Stalking Fatigue- anyone else?

    I just snagged it! It had disappeared by the time I saw your post yesterday afternoon, but checked again this morning and was able to book it! Yay! I've waitlisted the night of 2/14, so fingers crossed! It seems like the 14th has been more available than the 16th, so hoping that we can get...

    Stalking Fatigue- anyone else?

    Thank you! I have never used the chat function but will definitely give it a try. Trying to think of proper wording. "Good morning, can you please tell me if my waitlist for 2/16/19 has gone through? " "Ahem, excuse me, can you check on my waitlist?" "For the LOVE, tell me I got that 1BR SV at...

    Stalking Fatigue- anyone else?

    Does anyone have an idea of how long it takes after a WL has matched for it to show up on your DVC dashboard? Would it take days? I've noticed several people mentioned calling and being surprised that their WL had matched. Maybe I'm lucky and just don't know it? I have not bothered calling MS.

    DVC member trying to decide between gold annual pass or platinum questions

    We have upgraded to Platinum from Gold once when we planned a last minute Christmas trip. We stopped at Guest Services on the way into the park and they took our money quickly. :)

    Stalking Fatigue- anyone else?

    Shoot! I missed it. Thank you though! I was able to get 2 nights at Kidani in a SV 1BR, so just need the night of the 16th to open up. Fingers crossed!

    Stalking Fatigue- anyone else?

    I am stalking for President's Day weekend in February, a long shot I know. I was able to get a 1BR SV at Kidani for the night of the 14th, and waitlisted the 15th and 16th individually. I stalk everyday, multiple times a day. It has become an obsession! But nothing is moving! We are a family of...

    DHS/Toy Story Land "Early Morning Magic" (EMM) FAQ & Discussion

    We have tickets for tomorrow as well. All this talk about getting there at 6:45am and waiting makes me nervous. It's no fun to wait in the rain. I would think they would shut down SDD if it's raining as well. Wondering if anyone has had rain on their day? How was it handled?

    Connecting rooms on backstage magic trip?

    Hello, we are looking at booking a Backstage Magic trip in July 2018. It will be myself, Dh and my children, ages 13, 10 and 8 yo. I spoke with ABD and they said we would have two hotels rooms to hold all five of us. They were unable to guarantee that we would have connecting rooms...

    Experience flying in the day of cruise departure?

    Hi there, do you mean that you booked the airfare through Disney? We would need to fly Southwest and not sure if Disney uses them or not. If we book our own airfare, I was thinking we would need to book the transport from MCO to Port Canaveral through Disney though, so they would know if we were...

    Experience flying in the day of cruise departure?

    We are booking a 3 night cruise on the Dream for this fall. The way my DH's vacation time works out, he will be getting off work the morning of our departure (he is on call overnight at the hospital). We would be departing Birmingham at 10:05 am on cruise departure day for a direct flight...

    DVC price guarantee question

    Hello! I phoned ABD today and am looking at an Oct 2017 Backstage Magic Adventure. I was told the early booking rate would be available until June 16 this year. I did not mention that we are DVC members, but I saw something on this board about a low price guarantee for DVC members? Does this...
