    Mobility question

    My Mom had a stroke and now is not able to use the right side of her body. The first time we cruised DCL we took her wheelchair, the second time she had received her scooter and progressed well in PT so she could operate it. It gave her more freedom and confidence. We also rented a collapsible...

    My Brother, SIL and their girls just got back from their DCL cruise and stayed in a category 3 mid ship. I will see if I can get some digital photo's from him after the 4th. They said it was great. Have a good time!

    pool problems!. ever happen to you?

    Another good idea is to ask someone around you to save your chair while you run to the restroom or take one of your children etc. This year I will sailing alone with my 3 and 6 year old sons and usually everyone is so friendly that I will not hesitate to ask someone to watch my "things" for a...

    My Parents Got Their Cabin Assignment - A Little Bummed

    Sorry about your parents frustration. I really think it will be fine. You really are not in the cabin much anyway there is just so much to do. Also not sure if they booked with DCL directly or used a TA but have the TA notify DCL of their request for early dining and many times it can be cleared...

    Chankanaab on your own

    Yes, the last poster is right. Do the park on your own! We have done so each time and save a bundle of money and time. Disney usually docks at the new pier and you walk right down the pier and across the street where there is a new shopping plaza and there are a ton of taxi's. I believe it was...

    Chankanaab on your own

    We did it on our own for 3 cruises in the past year and love it. It is a $10 entrance fee per adult and you can bring or rent snorkeling equipment or a vest if wanted. Everyone is so nice, clean bathrooms with lockers and showers. The place is huge. You can snorkel out to a floating platform and...

    Anyone tan before the cruise?

    I want to share that if anyone wants the info on skin cancer visit mpip.org and read the discussion boards about melanoma skin cancer which is known as the beast. Not many in the USA take melanoma seriously and pay dearly for it with their lives. The age group of men and women between 25-35...

    Chair grabbing is one reason my my family and I are going to Playa to a AI Resort for our summer vacation before my DH deploys again :( It sounds crazy:crazy: but I picked this resort because every review I read said there was NO "towel game playing" and plenty of chairs with shade at the...

    pool problems!. ever happen to you?

    Just for clarification with our group of 8....... I spent the entire time sitting on or in the ears with my 2.5 year old and watching my 5 year old as well. At least one of my sisters and my Dad were with me or one of the boys the whole time. I agree that it is not safe for little ones to be...

    pool problems!. ever happen to you?

    We had a similar problem on the Magic last fall. It was fall break and a sold out sailing. My MIL, my Mom, my Dad and my 2 sisters and myself were at the Mickey pool with my 2 boys. We had a group of 8 but took only 2 chairs since we could share and we were taking turns in the pool with the...

    Best DCL Souvenir

    I remeber on the Magic in last fall that they had a "rubber like boat" with characters in the gift shop in the toy section. Looked like it could be used for bath or pool/beach use. They had a lot of cute things in the toys section. I always give my boys a set amount and let them pick something...

    Military Here?

    Sorry your DH has 2 deployments. I usually feel worse for Navy wives than Marine or Amry wives during peace time since Navy ships go on deployments every 6 months but with Marine deployments they are on land, usually hostile which sucks since they are right there. A deployment is a deployment...

    St. Thomas beaches kids & handicap ?

    Thanks all for your responses. I noticed the other day when I was checking out the trams website Paradies Point there were so many stairs in a picture on their website so I emailed them. They were nice enough to respond quickly and said a taxi can take her to the top and she can ride down. So...
