    Swan post-cruise

    We stayed at the Swan after our cruise in October and it was great. We stayed at the beach club before the cruise. I preferred the Swan. I am a gold starwood member, so we were given a newly renovated room with a great water view and balcony, plus new heavenly beds. The service was...

    DCL sweatshirts

    We sailed on the 10/13 Wonder cruise and it was great. My wife is regretting that the fact that she did not get herself a DCL sweatshirt while on board. She thought that Downtown disney would have a selection and she could just pick one up there. Well they didn't. Does anyone know if there...

    Oct 17th cruise will be a tough one for baseball fans

    KLDESQ I happened to be at that game 7 in Phoenix - for D'backs fans, it didn't get any sweeter than that. I am originally from NJ and grew up a Mets fan, so you know how we feel about the Yankees. I am glad to hear the WS starts on the 19th, that is the day we come home from DCL and WDW...

    Pediatrician says no meclizine for kids???

    They are basically sweat type bands with a metal snap or button that applies pressure, similar to accupuncture. Apparently there are many skeptics regarding the effectiveness, but they seemed to work for us. I was even feeling queasy at one point and I put them on, I felt better in a few...

    Pediatrician says no meclizine for kids???

    We cruised two years ago with the kids for the first time. We decided to get some kids dramamine. We waited until about a half hour before our first dinner and gave one to my 6 yr old and one to my 10 yr old, both very prone to motion sickness. Well they both fell asleep at the dinner table...

    October 13, 2002 - Wonder Roll Call!

    Larry, Just looked them over - nothing we don't already know from participating on these boards. However there is something official about seeing all of our names in black and white. One thing I did notice is that the booklet they give you is outdated - They still talk about early entry...

    Help! 4 nt land/3 nt cruise package or book separately?

    I originally booked separately and then changed to the package. If you have kids in the 3-11 range, it actually can work out to be cheaper with the package. If they are your 3rd and/or 4th person in your cabin, the price difference between 4 night cruise only and 3 night land/4 night sea was...

    Has anyone done this? (Palo's ?)

    I asked DW about going to Palos for our 4 night cruise and she thought we should make every attempt to get a res. We have 5 children ages 9, 12, 12, 14 and 15 so here's the question. Have others allowed your children go the normal seating while Mom and Dad enjoy an evening at Palo's? This...

    DH just sat down with me for 2 hrs

    'Beano' My kids are saying the same thing to me, I have to tone down my exuberance, but it's hard to do. Glad to hear that not all of the husbands leave the planning up to the wives. I have only stayed onsite twice, once at the CBR and once at the Poly. You are going to love the Poly...

    DH just sat down with me for 2 hrs

    The opposite happened in my house, I finally got my DW to sit down yesterday for 15 minutes to discuss the plans I made for our 11 days in Disney including our 4 night cruise on 10/13. Although I have been giving her updates on the go, I really needed her input on a few things, such as do we...

    Land/Sea or on your own?

    For us booking it together was cheaper (believe me I crunched the numbers several times because I did not believe it.) I think the ages of the children you are taking and the number of them make a huge difference. I have 3 children that are 11 and under and the price difference between the...
