    Car Service

    We are looking for a good car service to bring us from LAX to our hotel in DL. Does anyone know of a reputable company that does not charge fee on top of fee on top of flat rate? We seem to be getting a lot of runaround. Thanks!

    Spring Break 4/24/14 Dream 3 Night

    Hi everyone!!! This is our 3rd cruise and the 2nd on the Dream! It is my DH, DD (12) and myself traveling. Although we are making the journey with my SIL and her family. I created a Facebook page for the group because we have found in the past that it is a little easier than using the Dis. The...

    First time cruiser, kid questions

    We first took our daughter when she was 10. She can be quite shy. We got her a wristband but did not leave her in the club because she was alone and it was a short cruise and we wanted to spend time with her and experience all of the restaurants. And we didn't really know the lay of the land...

    Carsland, Star Wars Land, Avatarland - What is Disney capable of doing?

    I had read that the Easter shift was significant to their revenue numbers but was not the lion's share. I think the 73% was total parks which includes the cruise line I believe. So, one year ago, there was no carsland at DL, and the Fantasy did not sail until mid -April. So the next quarter will...

    Best Dophin Encounter on the Western?

    We also did the excursion in Cozumel and loved it. My daughter and I did the encounter and my husband did the push, pull and swim. Terrific. Plus they have a nice pool area for the kids as well as a huge beach with lounge chairs and a bar. You could also order food. Make sure to combine all...

    Disney Cruise...No Credit Cards. Doable?

    Another tip for your friends is to get a Target debit card and use it to purchase Disney gift cards for 5% off. It may not seem like much but it adds up. Ten use those cards to cover the onboard account. I think I read that Sam's club has the gift cards at 5% off as well if you are a member.

    Ever get home & feel like you need a do-over?

    I am convinced that the ice cream machines are to blame. No one there is handing out the wipes before you use it. We were on the Fantasy in April 2012 on the 2nd sailing and about 11 of the kids got norovirus.

    Child with peanut allergy

    We have sailed twice now with our DD's allergy and they go above and beyond in terms of accommodation at meals. She is 11 and is mostly concerned with peanut oil because she cannot see it, whereas she know what other foods to avoids visually. I think you can indicate it when you do the online...

    Current Concierge Perks

    Is there any advantage when you leave the boat at the end of the cruise? Or do you exit with everyone else?

    First timer questions

    You should click on 'staterooms' above and look for your room number. The reviews here are very honest. Even if your room is not listed, just check an adjacent room number to see what was said. With regard to the rotation, we had the royal court (I am blanking on the name) for formal night...

    Have you or would you cruise with just you, your spouse and your only child?

    We have one child. And she is very shy and had no interest in the kids club on her own. During our first cruise, she was 9, and we were fortunate enough to have been sat at dinner with a family with 3 children, one of whom was a 9 yr old girl. After a brief period of awkwardness, our server...

    Airport Hyatt buses to DCL protocol

    We just did this 3 weeks ago when we boarded the fantasy and it could not have gone better. We told them at check-in @ the Hyatt. The next morning, we left our bags in our room, went down to the check out desk to be certain that they had us on the list, since we had checked in after midnight. It...

    What did you love about your tablemates?

    We cruised on the Dream in April. When we were first seated, at an 8top and there were 3 of us, another family of about 7 came rushing in, looked at us and said-there are 7 of us-while their trashy boorish children started to ransack the breadbaskets. I was staring at my husband in horror! Turns...

    Need help picking room on Fantasy

    We stayed on deck 9 on the Dream in April. We were aft. I think the room was 9152 or something like that. We felt as though we had a bit of movement being in the back. We are trying 7614 which is midship when we take the Fantasy in April of 2012. We heard that the more central you are to the...
