All kidding aside, sugarsugar1, it was a wonderful letter that you wrote DCL, and it was very nice of someone to respond. I'm glad those CMs helped to make your trip magical.

We're flying into Seattle as well. We were able to get a $324 price via SW to Seattle, wheras, a flight to Vancouver would be well over $600.
We are spending 2 days in Vancouver b/4 the cruise and 2 days in Seattle after the cruise.

The DCL prices have gone up for the cruise you are looking at because demand has been strong. Disney is in the business to make money. Walt didn't structure his business as a charity. :)

I would tell them now. Part of the fun of a big vacation is the anticipation. I think you are robbing them of this experience by keeping this a secret. Also, as members of your family, they may enjoy assisiting in the planning of the trip. Just my 2¢.

Thanks for all the great information. We are planning on staying at the Sheraton Wall Centre which appears to be about 1 mile from the cruise terminal.
Any thoughts on our hotel or area? We are flying into Seattle and plan on renting a car and dropping it off downtown. Although, I'm a bit...
No. I would have no problem with people giving cigars, or a pack of cigarettes or a little bottle of booze, or even condoms. Although, I would prefer the booze. If someone doesn't want the gift, they can regift it or toss it.
