    17 People Six Rooms Questions

    I have a similar situation for an upcoming cruise. 11 people in 4 staterooms. 4 of us are platinum. I am booking one platinum member in each room so we can book reservations and do on line check in for all rooms at the same time. I'm assuming this will get everyone a complimentary meal at...

    We had a wonderful stay. Would not hesitate to stay there again. Great service. Good food. Very nice pool bar/restaurant. Suite was fantastic.

    Swan Reserve room type

    We stayed in Signature Epcot View Suite with 1 King bed on our trip 2 weeks ago. It has a bedroom door that closes. It is a corner room with a fantastic view of Epcot, and you can also see the MK castle and the Tree of Life from farther away. A beautiful room with lots of space. I'm fairly...

    Is there any workable HW Studios strategy?

    It is possible to use ILL and G+ to your advantage. It just takes a little work. This is what my family of 4 did last week at HS (Palm Sunday). We were staying onsite, and took advantage of EE. Made initial G+ selection for TOT at 7:00. Got a return time for 10:30 am Did not buy ILL for...

    Best way to get from Maui to Aulani ~

    We just did this last week. Flew from Maui to Honolulu on Southwest airlines. $39 flight, and had a companion pass, so that ended up being the cost for 2 people. It was super easy. Had a 1:00 flight. Left our resort in Kaanapali at 10:30, got to the airport with plenty of time, took the...

    Sidewalk path around Epcot resorts

    I start at the sidewalk behind the Luna pool area, run along the canal, and then take the outer loop past the Swan/Dolphin all the way around past the Beach Club. I turn around where the loop goes underneath the canal to Epcot, because there isn’t a whole lot of sidewalk through the tunnel. I...

    Sidewalk path around Epcot resorts

    I am a BWV owner, and a runner who uses that sidewalk for my morning jog every time we stay there. You can access BCV from that sidewalk. The sidewalk takes you to a dumpster/service area on the east side of BCV, and you can follow a path around this side of the resort to get back to Crescent...

    Considering canceling and could use some reality checks/advice

    I have been to WDW too many times to count, and took my first Thanksgiving week trip in 2016. Took my entire family (3 generations, 10 people). We had a great time. Crowds were high, but we used FastPass and did everything we wanted to do. We went to the MVMCP the Sunday after Thanksgiving...

    Booked elsewhere this time - anybody with The Haven experience on NCL?

    I am a Platinum Disney cruiser, so I'm obviously a fan of the mouse, but I've also taken a cruise in the Haven on the NCL Epic. IMHO, the Haven experience on NCL is superior to Disney concierge, at a more competitive price. My family of 4 enjoyed it so much that we are going to sail in the...

    EPCOT... UGH!!! DOUBLE UGH!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sounds like World Showcase is not really your thing. I'm sure there are plenty of other vacation spots you can go to without having to worry about being "sickened" by people walking around with alcoholic beverages. Hope you have happier travels in the future.

    Best palce to watch live sporting event on Wonder?

    I was on the Magic for NYE last year. The playoff games were on Jan 1 instead of the 31st, so things may be a little different, but the early game was shown on the Funnel Vision and in O'Gills. The late game was shown in O'Gills and in the Promenade Lounge. Both games were on stateroom TVs as...

    DCL Fantasy Concierge vs NCL Haven

    I'm a platinum castaway club member, so am obviously a big fan of DCL, but IMHO the Haven is far and away the better concierge experience. We sailed in the Haven on the Epic in a 2 BR family stateroom for a price that was significantly less than a 1 BR suite on the Fantasy/Dream, and got a...

    Torn over med cruise - DCL or NCL

    I have taken 12 Disney cruises, so I am obviously a HUGE fan of the brand, but this one is a no brainier...choose the Haven on NCL. My family of 4 cruised the Med on Epic in a 2BR family suite 2 summers ago, and it was fantastic. The room was the best I've ever had (much better than the 1BR...

    NCAA on fantasy?

    I've been on several cruises during the NCAA Tournament, always during the first weekend. There have always been games on live, usually on 2 different channels, since ESPN has the international rights. I'd be very surprised if the Final Four wasn't on. (Since it looks like that's the weekend...

    Kinder Surprise Egg Questions in Ports

    We found Kinder eggs at the Mega in Cozumel, which was no more than a 10 min walk from the port. I'm pretty sure (but not positive) that there were eggs in one of the stores in the mall directly across the street from the port as well. My kids love them.

    Manhattan Club

    We stayed there for 5 nights last summer. Used points for 3 nights, and paid cash for 2 (got a discount and a $100 debit card by going to the sales pitch). Very nice sized room for Manhattan and an excellent location. We had a crappy view from our room, but that was only a minor issue. I'd...

    Fantasy 4D Deck 6 Not Above Lifeboat?

    We have cruised in 6584 on the Fantasy. This room is between lifeboats, and looks directly down onto the water. This is a good midship room. We have it reserved again for a cruise next summer.

    We were at MNSSHP last Friday (the 10th). Posted wait times were around 40-45 min most of the night. We got in line right before the fireworks, and waited only about 20 min.
