    Disney Cruise Line Updates Castaway Club Membership Requirements

    Myself and my two sons (16 and now 20) are all platinum; I fell in love with DCL on our first cruise (a transatlantic) in 2011. But, between my kids getting older and the pandemic, I went from 2-3 DCL cruises a year, to 1 DCL cruise every 2-3 years. My last DCL cruise was Dec. 2022, and my...

    Alaskan Bear Encounter by Land and Sea (KE17) - anyone done this?

    Hello - has anyone done this excursion before? It is NOT the floatplane excursion, but goes to Neets Bay out of Ketchikan. Thanks for any feedback - mainly, did you see bears?? So expensive, so want to know if seeing bears will happen (going in September).

    Okay, I see. But isn't the DCL insurance cancel for any reason insurance?

    Can you book a GT rate via Costco Travel?

    Thanks. I did book through Costco and got the 20%. I purchased through Disney because we are coming from 2 different states and when I tried to purchase private they required 2 different policies and it got complicated and a little more expensive so I just went with DCL insurance, esp. since I...

    Rebooking cancelled 9/30 cruise?

    I didn't even notice it said to wait. I rebooked today and got the 20% - booked for early December. I still haven't gotten a refund to my CC or my gift cards, but I put the new cruise on my Disney Visa so hopefully before I have to pay I will get the original money back. And I will use the...

    Can you book a GT rate via Costco Travel?

    Related question - kind of: I had a cancelled Hurricane Ian cruise so I have 20% discount for future cruise. I have put a cruise on hold, need to PIF today or tomorrow. DCL rep said my 20% is linked to my account and can be activated when I call back to PIF. Can I use that discount and still...

    CRAP!! I just booked flights for tomorrow. I am on the Wish on 9/30. I guess I need to call DCL before it is too late.

    Major Hurricane Ian forecast to hit Florida next week, may be Florida's biggest in years, state of emergency declared by Florida Governor

    So, I can do a complicated mix of flights and driving and get down to PC on the date I planned. But I have to drive for 20 hours, 10 hours of which I would be alone. My concern is if I commit to this plan, I am buying new airline tix that would not be refundable (they would depart in less...

    Major Hurricane Ian forecast to hit Florida next week, may be Florida's biggest in years, state of emergency declared by Florida Governor

    So I was working all day, got emails that all of the flights on 2 different airlines have been cancelled. Got refunded 3 of the tix, on hold about the other 2. Then I need to see if w can somehow drive down there, but I am concerned about the reports of gas shortages and my brother is not too...

    Major Hurricane Ian forecast to hit Florida next week, may be Florida's biggest in years, state of emergency declared by Florida Governor

    I agree, unless the hurricane is hitting the actual port on the departure day, they don't cancel, they re-route, maybe delay departure or return. Just getting in to Port Canaveral can be a challenge though. Not just the flights in but the roads can be clogged with people trying to leave...

    Major Hurricane Ian forecast to hit Florida next week, may be Florida's biggest in years, state of emergency declared by Florida Governor

    I want to add, as someone who grew up in Florida and went through quite a few hurricanes, I feel a little guilty being so concerned about my cruise when so many people are in fear of flooding or their homes being destroyed by Ian. So I am aware that whether my family and I get to go on a 3 day...

    Major Hurricane Ian forecast to hit Florida next week, may be Florida's biggest in years, state of emergency declared by Florida Governor

    Yes, this is my concern exactly. The flight in on Thursday morning. It seems with every update the landfall keeps getting pushed back. But the days before and after landfall will almost certainly effect flights into MCO so unless it veers west, or slows down and comes to Fl on Saturday or...

    Major Hurricane Ian forecast to hit Florida next week, may be Florida's biggest in years, state of emergency declared by Florida Governor

    I think the cruise will go forward, most likely. I am more concerned with my flights on Thursday morning. Even if it has passed, I am concerned about being able to fly and our flights being cancelled - we are coming from NC and Ohio - multiple families in my group).

    Major Hurricane Ian forecast to hit Florida next week, may be Florida's biggest in years, state of emergency declared by Florida Governor

    We are supposed to be on your second cruise on Friday 9/30, flying in on Thursday 9/29. I don't know if I am more concerned they will cancel or more concerned they won't - if DCL doesn't cancel but our flights do I am really in a bind. I usually buy insurance, but I have had so many other...

    What do I need to have prepared for online check-in?

    I guess I am just going to give up. I mean, I have a job, I've ben at this for over an hour, I have not been able to complete the log in for even one of us.
