    Best cabana rental on Family Beach

    We did a Cabana on first cruise. Since then we've not and just positioned ourselves on the end of the beach closest to the 'rope' and found that we can spend the money on 'beverages' and get the same quietness and open space as we would had we rented a cabana. Granted we're not in the cabana...

    DCL Word Problem...HELP

    Nice Work! I give your reply a 100%! :) I am not smart. I should always just book a couple of rooms when on board for flexibility. Oh well, lesson learned.

    DCL Word Problem...HELP

    Okay, my kids are always doing word problems. Here's my 'word problem' as it relates to DCL. Scott has a back to back cruise booked that was booked on board their last cruise. He received a Discounted Fare for the front end of the cruise (a 4 night) and the standard fare for the back end...

    Best Place to view Happily Ever After Fireworks/Projection

    My family and I have always followed the first advice we got for where to stand for watching Wishes. Every visit we would find a spot along the path that veered off the Eastern side of the hub and it was 'our' spot for our favorite show. With the addition of some pretty amazing projection now...

    Fantasy Server?

    You know, we didn't even think to ask. About 3 nights in she says to me "did you have me before? you requested me." I told her I read the boards and saw that she was recommended...which I think she took as a great compliment. She was so fun. "Thank you, Thank you more, Thank you most" was a...

    Dream Server - Please Help Advise!

    KIAT! We loved him, but back when we sailed, I saw a number of great servers (or at least our table interacted with several around Kiat's station). We were crazier than normal tables I suppose:)

    Alaska cruise experience requested

    Just this week Dreams Unlimited Travel show discussed Itineraries and Alaska was one. Tracey noted they go out of both Seattle and Vancouver, though the latter is the predominant one. We found the Train ride at Skagway, using Viator for Whale watching in Juneau, and just kicking it around...

    Just back from the Western SWDAS

    We've used Happy Limo (not Hour) and it was great. Handling luggage is no biggie as porters help and you just throw them a couple of bucks per bag. We've done DCL Transfers and Private and think Private (if close in $$) is the way to go.

    Differences in Fantasy and Dream?

    The Fantasy's Sport Simulator setup is better, and has air. Dream 2015 wasn't as nice or as cool.

    Lounge Chairs

    That's my plan after reading a post on DisneyCruiselineBlog. They had AFT large verandah...requested through Guest Services and was told no, but ask the room steward and they made it happen for a neighbor of theirs. I imagine, it can't be that big a deal, very limited number of super big...

    Lounge Chairs

    Wondering is there any chance my room steward would help us grab some loungers for our verandah. We're staying in 5052 and the verandah is massive, like the size of the room massive and with it being a full ship, thought my wife would love to sun on our verandah. I know extra chairs, is...

    Flights and Food

    @PrincessShmoo I'm sure we'll know this but it's for everyone:) We've cruised before but never had to 'rush' off the ship. Just found out our return flight has been changed by airline to 11:45am. We have late dinner so we have 'late' breakfast. If we follow the schedule and do breakfast in...

    Book now or wait? Early December cruise!

    The rule, especially on Disney, is book the very first day possible when cruise dates come available.

    so when do you get to rank your choices and submit? First day, day before?

    SWDAS Jan 14th Sailing

    We're on that sailing as well. I think that in your stateroom, not sure of the day, you'll receive a sheet that will allow you to rank your desired meet and greets and experiences. You have 5 choices, you rank 1 - 5 and they do their best to get you 1 or 2 of your requests. I also heard on...

    Disney Fantasy- January 14, 2017- 7 nt Eastern Caribbean

    So, the meet and greets are done by request form (which I've seen somewhere on the internet:) but that form is in your room, you don't have to go to Guest Services initially to make those requests?

    Tendering GC

    If On Board is at 5:30pm at Grand Cayman, is that the last Tender or is that truly the ON BOARD Time, meaning you likely need to be on a Tender at 5:15pm?
