    September 17, 2023 Disney Dream Transatlantic from Southampton, England - 11 Night Cruise

    Hello! I’m ecstatic to say that we switched our Merrytime cruise to this cruise. The price for VGT was too hard to resist. This will be our 2nd DCL cruise and our first Transatlantic. It will be just my boyfriend and I. I’m a born and raised New Yorker, and we boarded the Magic at New York...

    Instacart Deliveries

    I just did this at Riviera last week, the only potential issue is that Instacart will not leave alcohol with Bell Services. You have to meet the shopper at delivery, to allow them to scan your state issued ID as proof of age. I tried researching this in advance and had mixed information so I put...

    The Official Riviera Owners & Info Thread

    Last week, BF and I FINALLY got to come home to Riviera! We bought into it back in 2019. We loved being along the Skyliner, but I think it influenced us to go to Hollywood Studios more than we would typically do during a regular trip. We were able to secure a dinner reservation at Topolino's...

    After Hours Events - Ask Questions and Share Experiences Here

    I know some other people already gave reviews, but I'll throw mine in for March 8th's DHS AH. The tickets were a birthday present to myself, and I wanted to ride some rides multiple times, and my BF obliged me. I'll get the two negatives out of the way. 1. The Skyliner was not running at...

    I woke up this morning and impulse booked a trip to WDW for March 8th - March 12th, and we bought tickets for Hollywood Studios After Hours. It will be my 35th birthday, and I wanted to treat myself. I haven't been to WDW since 2019, so I am very excited!

    Mixology? Yes or no?

    We sailed on the Magic last month and did two tastings. I enjoyed both of them in different ways. Champagne Tasting on Embarkation Day - Someone on this board mentioned this as a tip and it was a wonderful idea. We did a sit down lunch at Rapunzel's and then the champagne tasting in Keys. We...

    October 31st 2022 - 7-Night Disney Magic HotHigh Seas from New York (via Bermuda, Antigua & St Maarten) to SanJuan, PR

    Hello, my BF and I will be cruising on this sailing. It's my first cruise, his second cruise, but first time for both of us on DCL. We just cancelled our Day 3 Bourbon Tasting if anyone is looking, but from earlier in the thread, it looks as if availability for the tastings is pretty open.

    Does your Whole Travel Party enjoy Boma?

    For dinner, we had a huge group (8 adults, 9 kids and some with dietary concerns) and everyone really enjoyed Boma. There's carved meats and mashed potatoes and regular salad for people who are not so adventurous eaters. The soups are also interesting and fairly tame. The kids mostly ate meats...

    Top of the World Lounge?

    When I was there in February, you had to tell someone in the main lobby that you wanted to go up to lounge. They check membership and then walk you over to the elevator. Another BLT staff member activates the elevator for you. BF and I were staying at BLT and it would be a little annoying to go...

    Worried about BLT???

    I'm obsessed with BLT. BF and I have a AKL reservation for November, but my heart belongs to BLT. It was great to just be able to walk to MK- we walked to MK on our first night for Wishes and walked back to CR for dinner. When we wanted to wander around, we liked being able to walk into CR...

    youth group dining options - advice?

    I was part of YES in early 2000s and back then, you could only redeem the vouchers at CERTAIN counter service locations. (Specifically I remember Electric Umbrella and Cosmic Rays as options.) Hopefully they've revamped it so now you can eat anywhere with the vouchers! Personally, thinking...

    (CLOSED) Disney's CONTEMPORARY RESORT and BAY LAKE TOWER INFORMATION THREAD

    Yes, we bought into BLT in 2009 but this is the first time we actually stayed at our home resort. We stayed at SSR in 09 and the Guy went to BWV with his family in 2010.

    hot chocolate

    I THINK Joffrey's is going to become the default coffee except for places where they have their own featured coffee brand. The places we had Joffrey's included the coffee stand at TTC and the stand outside Ellen's Energy Adventure. Notably, the stand outside EEA still had the latte with Bailey's...

    pin trading in the resorts

    I don't remember the exact hours, but there was someone outside The Wave in the Contemporary with a trading pin board during the afternoons. Also, the CMs in Fantasia Gardens had a mini board they could bring out.

    Do you buy something each time you visit as a "tradition"?

    I always come home with a new set of ears. I think I've bought a pair every single visit. The last two visits, I ended up buying two pairs; one traditional style with the strap and one headband style. I intended on getting a pair monogrammed but I didn't this time. I think I want the Peter Pan...

    Which studios have the most comfortable sofabeds?

    I agree with the BLT sleeper bed not being comfortable. We unfolded it to test it, and I'm a 5'4" girl, for reference. It was a very hard mattress, probably suited for children, tbh.

    This is the view from the balcony in our 1BR: The water parade floated by BLT/CR every night while we were there: We were on the 7th floor of BLT.
