    Dolphin encounter in Cozumel or dolphin encounter and Turtle farm in Grand Cayman?

    If you can separate them into different days-I would. Both locations are great. When you do split visit in Grand Cayman it is a quick tour-of the turtles. I love that park-the swimming lagoon is fun, the food is fine, and the park staff are very pleasant. The dolphin experience in both places is...

    Best place to "be" with kids for the Sail Away Party on Dream?

    We left the Fantasy last week-after a great cruise-you are absolutely right to be excited. Right after the mandatory drill-proceed to the main deck. The pre-show starts almost immediately. Get a drink, use the bathroom, and be ready to dance. After the dance, move up on an upper deck to waive...

    Grand Canyon to Yosemite - Is It Possible?

    Disney to Start charging for FP??

    At Disneyland this week-a cast member informed us that disney research shows no true satisfaction from management or park guests with the current fastpass system.

    What are your father's day plans?

    As a Dad-Father's Day morphs in comparison to Mother's Day- my family is great-but it is really a "family day." And- I think that is fine. A family event is always good-ball game, something dad would do with all, even making a puzzle, or a funny craft with a little little child is fun. Take...

    Disney vs disney cruise

    My five year old told me that a car and a house cost about the same. And that a dollar is a good price for a tooth from the tooth fairy. Us grown ups make the tough calls. I love 'em both. Both are not cheap trips. My family has opted to cruise instead of the parks-three years now. We are...

    I just don't get it......

    :cool2:I think Disney is worried about North Africa-the rise and fall of the Euro-and the worry of long term interest in four ships. Disney has doubled down their investment in the cruise industry and is literally on the fringe for costs-payment on debt for purchases of these two liners-and has...

    MK fireworks from Fort Wilderness

    Locations for viewing are sometimes a tad bit full. Go to the beach area to watch the electric water parade and fireworks. The carriage ride for fireworks also occurs seasonally- and stops at an awesome location- that is closer to the remote sound source. PS- there are gators in the water- ...

    Disney Rewards

    If you are dining at O'Hana, the closest and convenient location is guest services outside of Magic Kingdom. They will hand you a card, you will be directed to the phone bank to activate your card (toll free). You can then use it at dinner. I would give yourself 30 minutes including travel...
