Hi all! DH, DS (almost 5 at cruise) and I are looking forward to our first European cruise! This is our third DCL cruise (4 day Dream Bahamas, 7 day Western - I think - Caribbean on the Magic) as a family and we're really looking forward to this one! We're booking excursions at the end of the...

We treat the ship as our destination and love the quiet time on the ship while everyone else is in the port. We have a three year old so taking him off the ship in a lot of places just isn't appealing, but I suspect we'd stay on board a lot even without him just because we love the ship so much...

Quick (stupid) question: For the 1st time, I decided to go with a travel provider since the GET Travel package matched my plan for the trip anyway. Talked to them and paid yesterday, have receipt from them, so I don't need to worry about doing anything when booking opens today right? She said...

The 7 day thing is helpful! I kept wondering why 2/28 wasn't showing up as an option for us, which is of course the day we wanted it but technically the 8th day of our trip since we check in to our resort the preceding Friday. When we arrive at the resort, does anybody know if we'll be able to...

1) I think I've seen somewhere in this thread or elsewhere that the Powerade is half strength and the lemon-lime flavor? Is that right? I'd like not to carry anything with me (hydration-wise) and just use the aid stations, but I know that means I'll need to practice with what is actually on...

The only reason we've used a TA was because it was helpful to have someone else watching out for discounts and special offers, which has saved us a lot in the past. The rest of it we really do handle ourselves, so we really don't need much. It has felt like more trouble than it was worth this...

My husband and I have been to Disney 3 times in the last 6 years, with a 4th trip coming up for the PHM in February. For the first two trips, we used a travel agent that we were very happy with. She was very on top of things, watching for discounts, felt like she was a good resource and kept up...

From our last WDW trip, I know that we won't need to worry about using a TS credit for my son (2.5) at places with family style dining (like Ohana, Liberty Tavern, presumably Garden Grill). I know it is a CS credit to get him a kids meal at a CS place and presumably the same if I ordered him a...

We're going to WDW in February with our 2.5 yo son. We were planning on going to SciFi Dine In theater since DH and I enjoyed it in the past and we thought DS would enjoy the cars and the movies. Then I remembered the weird booth set up. Is it possible to fit a normal/small size me, a normal...

I thought I'd introduce myself since I'll be following along. I just turned 35 years old and my gift to myself was registering for the Disney Princess Half Marathon. I started running a little less than a year ago using the C25K program as a way to add activity to my Weight Watchers program. It...

We just got off our (first ever) cruise on the Dream where we stayed in an oceanview family veranda in concierge and loved it. We absolutely thought it was worth the extra cost to have the lounge and sundeck to play on with our 20 month old. We didn't really use many concierge services (cabana...

Thanks everyone!

I don't treat my own child as a matter of principle so I'm not his doctor. I just wasn't sure if he'd need something from his doctor beyond my say so. I think I'm over thinking this a bit. :)

Thanks all! I know he isn't contagious in any public health sense of the word (I'm a pediatric infectious disease specialist) but wasn't sure how finicky the cruise line was about that sort of thing since we haven't done a cruise before. Common sense says we shouldn't have an issue but I never...

I've lost a hundred pounds in the last year and coming up to our first cruise next week. I'm not going to be crazy about sticking to my normal eating plan while on the ship, but I'd like to balance enjoying the food that's a big part of the cruise experience with some sanity with regards to...

We leave next Sunday for our first Disney cruise. My son is just starting antibiotics today for a sinus infection. He should be feeling better by the time we travel and this really isn't something contagious so he should be able to travel without a problem, right? Should I get a letter from the...

Leaving for our first ever Disney Cruise in 25 days (followed by a short stay at the Polynesian). We are staying at the Hyatt MCO Saturday night, leaving on the Dream Sunday, going to the Polynesian after we land Thursday and then flying out again Saturday for home. I just want to be sure I have...

Thanks! I wasn't thinking of going any farther than the concierge lounge (not even sure if I'm comfortable with that!) but thought I'd ask.

For those of you that have kids (or yourselves) that nap during the day, are there curtains/blinds to darken the room? We'll be in concierge on deck 12 if that makes a difference. Also, do monitors work on the ship? Thanks! First trip in a little over a hundred days! So excited!

Thanks - I know we can't get away from them completely. I just don't want to be overrun and I've heard particularly bad things about POR when the Pop Warner people were there. How loud was it at Coronado Springs?
