    Palo or Remy brunch on the Fantasy

    One note: you can ask for a pastry "to go" - I enjoyed an almond croissant later in the day when I had more room...

    Palo or Remy brunch on the Fantasy

    I don't agree with the review "meh" of brunch in Palo. Yes, it is different from the pre-Covid days but relaxing and delicious. You can have as many entrees as you wish so there is some similarity to the buffet (OK, no cavier)...Some people love Palo brunch some people don't...but please don't...

    Don't know why, but DCL still holds a special place in our family.

    I just went on my first cruise alone (I am a grandma who agrees that bringing the child of my daughter who also cruised as a child was special) and I think I figured out the lure (for me, anyway) I love the rituals of the holidays - the music, decor, food, etc...it's the SAME for me on the...

    No Mail/Luggage Tags From DCL

    My adult children and their families and I went last August. One son never got luggage tags. You will not be alone at the port without tags...Nice to have not Need to have...porters are very familiar with the situation No worries

    Deck 5 Extended Verandah (Dream, Fantasy)

    My family had four of these at the stern on the Dream in August, 5150, 5156, 5164 and 5162. 5150 verandah is ENORMOUS and 5164 is two sided and afforded such views! The outdoor space was AMAZING. Both sons who were closer to the kids club felt that, at transition times, the noise of the kids...

    DCL Contact for help with hardship

    So sorry to hear of your family tragedy! I reached out to Disney when my niece's cancer recurred about 9 days before our cruise. We got a box with cruise hats, stuffed Mickey and Minnie dolls, and some keychains. That was nice. We got no other options, despite our request - even for a room...

    picking your cabin or VGT?

    There are some vernandah cabins I would NOT want on the dream - especially the ones without chairs, 5188 and 5688. I've been happy with all the obstructed verandahs - not a problem for short people, in my opinion, but even saving lots of money would not be worth the risk of being assigned to an...

    Non alcoholic beer/wine

    We brought several bottles of Fre wine and this did not "count" toward our room allowance. In addition, our beverage server did not charge a corking fee (although your mileage may vary) when serving during dinner

    Continental breakfast delivery

    Palo Brunch Dress Code (men)

    "Nice" shoes are open to interpretation...my family (three adult children and their families) were on the Dream after the change in dress code. Men wore clean and neat tennis shoes...not a problem. People were in jeans and t-shirts... You will find many responses on the DIS boards regarding...

    Can I swap out for bringing beer onboard?

    This is likely one of the top 10 Disboards hot-for-debate topics! The screening process (in my experience at three different ports including Canada) is not specifically related to alcohol...you put your bags on the belt toward the x-ray machine. Like the airport, the connection between each bag...

    Castaway Cay stores

    CAUTION: there are TWO Disney shopping areas on CC. One is MUCH smaller than the other. As we were leaving, hot and tired, we only went to the smaller one...oops. Check the map and plan ahead Barb

    THANKS everyone for the clarifcation The "Palo worth it" debate is a time honored tradition on the DCL boards - especially every time the cost increases....I am from Long Island where a glass of wine is $24 so I am grateful for everyone's perspective
