Puerto Vallarta. Right behind Walmart.

I literally just laughed out loud when I read this, as our 9 year old boy is EXACTLY like yours. Ours likes to read me science and nature facts in his books: an example from the other day, "Daddy, did you know that a termite hill can grow up to 32 feet in height?" In fact, the last time we...

I like your idea. Looking at it on the map, it looks longer, but you'd be going around all the downtown traffic. I would skip the 405 and 91 east as well- The 405 through the Valley and West LA and the 91 going east are all miserable at rush hour. I work near Cypress, so I'd be happy to give...

We used Already There as well for the airport to hotel, and also from Pier 91 to airport. Excellent communication with them from beginning to end.

I'd recommend staying at Hojos or anything else within walking distance (Candy Cane perhaps?). I've stayed at one of the hotels near the Embassy Suites South Anaheim before the half marathon, and took the Anaheim Resort Transit bus (free on raceday if you're a runner). It worked out fine taking...

Neither my kids nor wife wanted to sleep on the bunk, so I've done it on 2 cruises. The railing looks a little low for my taste, but I haven't fallen off yet.

I work there as a volunteer. It's a nice place to spend a couple hours to a half day, with a shark touch pool, a ray touch pool, and an otter exhibit. They are setting up a new penguin exhibit which might be open by May. There is also a dolphin and whale watch boat (I think it's about $30 or...

Just to clarify (I don't know if we specifically mentioned it), LKFan is my wife. She's the chatty one- I think she's got something like 2000 posts on DIS, and I've got 100.

I just realized I made a mistake on the name of the diner, it's actually Gaffey Street Diner- I changed the original post. My daughter and I watch the food shows together- DDD, Best Thing I Ever Ate, and Man vs Food. We've been to a few restaurants featured on the shows as well. Our kids...

The upside of boarding later is that there may be less of a wait in getting checked in and onto the ship. If you were planning on having lunch on the ship, I think it shuts down about 3 or so.

Just a few suggestions... 1. Nelson’s at the Terranea Hotel/ Resort- If you’re looking for lunch with a great view. Nelson’s is a small, casual restaurant with a really small menu- what makes it nice is that it is right off the water. We’ve seen whales and dolphins from our table. I wouldn’t...

Meeting near the TV sounds like a great idea! I'm sure we'll be there early as well- we got there really early last year, just because we were packed up and had nothing else to do at home (and maybe we were just a little excited). Last year, there was a family that had to switch rooms the...

Just got our documents today as well!!!

I'm from LA, so I don't have a pro team to cheer for...

I can't think of a specific towncar/ limo company in LA, but I know exactly what you're talking about. Post cruise in Seattle, there was a towncar company which primarily did airport pickup/ dropoff, but they also offered to drive people around and tour the city.

It's on this thread (I think)... http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2752784

Aquarium of the Pacific. All kinds of kid friendly things- touch a shark, ray, or jellyfish. Nice way to spend a couple hours in Long Beach. Our family volunteers there, so if you see a 9 year old boy working there who acts like he knows everything about the ocean, that's our family... tell...

We're traveling with a 12 year old and 9 year old. Do you think Mango Deck is appropriate for kids of those ages? The Office seems to be popular as well- any experience/ opinions on that restaurant. Also, do the water taxis return people back from Medano Beach to where the cruise ship tenders...

No emails- I've just been checking the DCL site regularly to check for status changes with our reservation. The room number has been listed as GTY until yesterday.

We booked our room as GTY and got our room assignment this morning! We booked 9B and got 9B...
