    ? about car rental/parking at Country Inn or port

    We stayed at CIS for our last cruise and their shuttle was really great. Our experience: You could sign up the day before for the shuttle, which is your check in day. I actually called from the road around 8am on our check in day and they let me sign everyone in our party up for a shuttle (4...

    Baby/Toddler Products Sold on Ship

    Have you checked out ordering from Babies Travel Lite? My SIL ordered from there on our last cruise and it was super convenient. Everything was in their stateroom on the first day, no hassles. No worrying about her suitcase being too heavy at the airport. She packed an empty tote in the...

    Heating pad allowed on board?

    My husband uses heat on his leg - it aches by the end of the day due to nerve damage and trying to walk on it. We brought a heating pad on our Magic cruise last March and never had a problem. We made sure it was unplugged when we wasn't using it, because of the fire concern. If you want to...

    What is it like to Cruise (carribbean) in October/Nov?

    We've cruised multiple times in September/October and once in March. The only real difference I noticed, besides the possibility of a hurricane in the fall, is that the water at CC was almost too cold to get into in March, while in September/October it was still quite warm and enjoyable. The...

    tendering handicap accessible ?

    Last year on the Magic when we tendered in St. Thomas, my husband was able to get off the ship, but we had to get a manual wheelchaor fron GS to use because getting his scooter off wasn't an option. He can walk, with the help of the handrail, and the guys running the tender collapsed the...

    Scooter at the ports

    My husband used one last year on the Magic and had no problem going up or down the ramp at the ports. Keep in mind if your cruise tenders at one pf your ports, the scooter won't work. We had to borrow a manual wheelchair from Guest Services. When we tendered, there was a short flight of...

    Special Needs at Sea?

    We rented one for my husband last March on our Magic cruise and it was really great. My husband was able to get around by himself and didn't need me to do everything for him. The only thing that happened was they told me the scooter would be in our stateroom not in the terminal and it wasn't...

    Muster Drills and disabilities

    We were on the Magic in March and my husband has a power scooter. They let us use the elevator to get to Deck 4 and then again when the drill was over to get back to our stateroom deck. There is a CM standing at the elevators on all decks to keep people from using them and keep the flow moving...

    Dream Dining & Kids Ages

    My husband ordered the meatloaf off the kid's menu one night on our cruise in March. Thankfully, they did not bring it on the segmented Mickey plate!! He said it was the best thing he had all week, besides Palo.

    Marriage proposals while on a Disney cruise

    We were just on the Magic in March, and were standing in line the first formal night to have our pic taken in the main lobby in front of the Captain Mickey sculpture, and there was a couple behind us, mid to late 20's or so. We got our pic taken and stepped to the side to put my KTTW card back...

    Dinner in the Oceaneer Club?

    We just got off the 3/12 Magic and our son (6 1/2) ate dinner twice in the Club. They bring kid friendly food in and set it up in the back of the club and make an announcement that the food is there. They only keep the food out for about 45 minutes and then they pick it up. That's what the...

    Country Inn and Suites Shuttle

    Our port arrival time was 10:30-11am, but we were at the port before 10:30am and going through security and getting upstairs to the terminal wasn't a time issue at all. The PP said they are going on the Fantasy Maiden next year, and I would be safe to say that their experience and ours will be...

    Country Inn and Suites Shuttle

    We just stayed there last week, we were on the 3/12 Magic. I called at 7am of the morning we checked in and put our name on the shuttle reservation list and when we got to the hotel and checked in, we got passes for the 10am shuttle. We were also told the earliest was 10:30am. We pulled out of...

    7688 & 7190

    We are booked in 7638 on the Magic 3/12/2011 Eastern and it is a handicap accessible room. We are aft-starboard, I think 7688 is aft-port, so it would be accessible also. If you're not referring to the Magic, I don't know!!

    Turnpike fees from MCO to PC

    Thanks everyone!! I meant the Beachline 528, not the actual turnpike. We are coming from NC on I-95, but we have to go to MCO to pick up some of our party the day before we sail. I just wanted to know what to expect, money wise.

    Turnpike fees from MCO to PC

    Anyone know how much it costs to take the turnpike from MCO to PC?? I'm going to get a roll of quarters to keep in the console so I don't have to dig for money in my purse, but does anyone know how many payment stations there are and how much (approximately) each one is? Thanks!!!:thumbsup2

    Laundry?

    We are taking the Purex sheets with us so we don't have to buy detergent/fabric softener on the ship. We always try to do laundry on a port day. There is usually one port that we have no interest in doing any excursions, so we do laundry then because the ship is virtually empty and I don't...
