I am hoping you can give me your input. We are sailing on the October 16th cruise. We will be driving from Texas. I was wondering if to get a room the night before sailing (in Port Canaveral) must reservations be made in advance? Or will we be able to find a accomadations on Friday night for...

ncyorkclan, I am a DVC member like you and booked on points. I havent received my docs as of yet and called Member Services today. They called the cruise line and came back to me and said they wouldnt be mailing mine or anyone elses until 2 weeks before the cruise. Of course since I am on...

We have them here in Texas. I know of no way to keep them away - sorry. My husband is someone that likes to use his chemicals and fertilizers. If there was something out there he would have it and use it. Just be proactive on getting rid of the nests and maybe they will move on to your...

Peacefulgirl, thanks for the quick reply that you dont use services so you cant cut. Since message boards are what they are l am not sure if you noticed the two other suggestions that are even more important. Setting a budget for food and than possibly lowering insurance premiums. If you...

I am a stay at home mom to 2 DS's (6 & 3). When I stopped working a big budget helper was a set dollar amount per week for food. We set up a checking account for household expenses. It would cover all food, diapers and had play money in it for the kids activities. This was a big success. I...

When we went last year my mom was on a tight budget. I had her seperate her money by days. Anything left could be carried over to the next day. Worked out great. When do the kids become the parent?

Having stayed in DTD we experienced the shuttle service. It is lacking. We did not have a car and found the taxis to be great and used them as needed. If the kids (4 and 10 mo at the time) were too tiered we found a taxi and took that back. If the slept longer at nap we took a taxi to dinner...

I too married my high school sweethear. We never traveled together and were not allowed to be with each other 24/7 while in high school. The reason for this is that both of our parents wanted us to be individuals. We did trips together and with friends when we were in college. After college...

Thanks for the replies. Can you tell me about the members meeting on the ship. Is it something I should make a point to do? Thanks again.

I booked a cruise for Oct 16th a few weeks ago and all is smooth so far and have received my confirmation from DVC. A question for the DVCers that have cruised on points. Did you run into any problems getting your documents or any confusion due to the use of points that you would advise...

Last week I called on availability of a 1 bedroom at BCV and VWL. VWL had availability on 10/16 and 10/23. BCV only had availability on 10/23. I was looking for a 1 week reservation. We did not book instead I booked the eastern cruise on 10/16.

We just booked the October 16th cruise on tuesday and they could only give us a selection of three category 9 rooms none of them were midship. I never would have guessed how far in advance these things book! I will know now for the future. I feel lucky that the family has a week together to...

We were in a position of use or lose this year. We didnt really want to spend alot of money on a vacation or go through renting so we decided that to use the points to cruise worked for us. A cruise was pretty much all inclusive and I can be 90% sure ahead of time what to budget. We figured...

My boys are slightly younger and will be in the young oceanears club. Oldest DS is almost 7 (at time of cruise) and youngest will be 3. From what I read on the boards they will spend some time together in the club but not all and that is perfect and enough to give the youngest some security...

Count one more family in on the October 16th cruise. I didn't realize how far in advance people book cruises. I guess we are somewhat late. Better late than never I guess.

We will be taking a 7 day Eastern October 16th. I have a few questions for those of you who have been on the cruises before. Do we nee to bring our own beach towels or are they available on CC and at the pool? Are swimming wings allowed in the Disney pools? Do they rent life vests on the CC...

Thanks for the reply. I saw an earlier post questioning if this room slept 4. There are 4 of us. DH, 2 DS's (6 & 3) and me. Do you happen to remember how many this room accomadated? Thanks for the input. Now I can enjoy all of the planning I have to do.

I am cruising on DVC points and I think that they have limited inventory in this situation. I am not entirely sure. I have only looked into Cat 9 availability. I do not know if they are selling out of Cat 9's. When I inquired about the available rooms she gave me 3 to choose from (none...

I was just wondering if you ever found out anything about this room. We just booked the October 16th cruise and this is the only room available right now. We also have 4 in the room, DH, Myself, 2 DS's. Anything you learned would be greatly appreciated.
