    Planning a "budget" trip...

    I'd suggest somehow convincing him it's worth going, stay on site to get the best Disney experience possible, and maybe, just maybe he'll have a similar moment and suddenly just "get it". ;) Yes, I'm hoping this happens. It happened for the cruise, it was nothing like he expected and I...

    Planning a "budget" trip...

    Thank you everyone for your opinions, it certainly does help! I truly appreciate the advice that was given for both options. Westonkamom thank you for that pricing! I priced that same option on the site this morning, but came out with $2071.75 USD with an upgrade to the meal plan, with the...

    Planning a "budget" trip...

    Thanks for your reply, I think you might be right considering thats what he dislikes the most...crowds. I'll take a look at going at the beginning of December, anyone know what the weather is typically like at that time?

    Planning a "budget" trip...

    So in 2012 we sailed on the Disney Fantasy. This was a compromise as DH isn't particularly a Disney fan. We truly adored our time aboard, but I still want to visit WDW before DD "gets too old" (she's almost 9). Since free dining has come up I've been trying to convince DH we should take...

    Homemade cocktails on board?

    I'm a big fan of flavoured vodka (ie Smirnoff Sorbet light) over ice, filled with water and a few squirts of Mio (Crystal light drops, Nesfruta etc). Its delicious and a lot lighter and less sweeter than sugary juices. My favourite is the orange Smirnoff Sorbet (mango passionfruit I think)...

    Ron Jon's Resort

    If so, it was pretty nice there. Clean, close to everything. Theres a really good pizza place within walking distance called "A NY Pizza Place". There are 2 pharmacies right across the street and the beach is 2 blocks away (amazing Cocoa Beach!). We would definitely consider staying here again.

    Cocoa Beach hotel recommendations, please!

    Same as above, really clean and super nice staff. We rented from Budget and returned at Port Canaveral, got on their shuttle and it was about a 10 minute ride to the port from there. Just up from the 4 points is an amazing pizza place called "A NY Pizza Place"

    Cocoa Beach Area

    We stayed in Cocoa Beach the night before our May 5 cruise, and our family enjoyed eating at A NY pizza place (I believe on Atlantic Ave). We stayed at the 4 points so this was really close. Great portion size, and really inexpensive.

    Cheap souvenir idea!

    We sailed the Fantasy on 05/05/12 and had the pleasure of "creating a character" on the placemats at AP. After they were returned to us with an official "animator" seal I carefully placed them in my suitcase. Once we were home I brought them to Staples and had them made into placemats (I even...

    fitness classes on Fantasy

    There isn't a charge unless its stated (i.e on the Navigator). I went to a spin class that was complimentary, but you do need to sign up. The navigator indicates if there is a charge. Really nice facility though, with ocean views!

    Anyone have a photo of the Children's plates used in the MDR's and Cabanas?

    The manufacturer is G.E.T out of Houston, Texas. I had DH lift the plate so I could check it out! I asked our head server, as well as our server and one in Cabanas if we could buy one or take one...the answer was NO!! The manufacturer cannot sell/distribute these plates as they are...
