    They are here! (Summer 2025 I mean)

    Thanks so much for such an informative post. We haven’t been to Portland/Oregon/any of the Pacific Northwest before so I’m really leaning towards concentrate on Vancouver/9 night cruise and leaving Seattle/Portland/Oregon for another 2 week road trip sometime.

    They are here! (Summer 2025 I mean)

    Thanks for your thoughts! We would be travelling internationally for 15 hours so wanted to try and fit Seattle in. But perhaps I am trying to do too much and I should keep Seattle for another trip. 9 nights would be nice on the ship too. Thank you! 9 nights on the ship does sound nice instead...

    They are here! (Summer 2025 I mean)

    I really need to decide which Alaska cruise to take so thanks so much for all the informative posts on here. I kinda want to splurge on the 9 night one but as we were travelling internationally I wanted days in Vancouver before and we want to go to Seattle after. Need to check our vacation...

    Next Batch of Cruises

    I’m already worried about which Alaska cruise to book, I know you can’t control the weather but I want to give us the best possible chance of having sunny days. Looking at the 26th May 2025 sailing date but second guessing myself.

    Just checked into the Grand Californian. Been up 26 hours following travel from London and didn’t sleep in the airport hotel either. Went out for a quick Pizza Press which was lovely. Looking forward to our first DL day in over 4 years tomorrow. Have great trips everyone and safe travels! Happy...

    I’ve just done something really exciting - there were some DVC rental points available for GCH for 2 nights during our stay….so I’ve grabbed them! Waiting to be confirmed 🥳

    I think normally on the day - I may be confusing that with the Tiki Hatbox Ghost special cups though?

    Hi everyone. I have a Blue Bayou reservation that I am going to cancel as our plans have slightly changed that day. It’s for 2 people at 1:10pm on the Wednesday 6th December if anyone would like it, we can try to co-ordinate me cancelling if so.

    Any Menus out yet for the DCA holiday food festival?

    Cannot stop drooling. We haven’t visited at the holidays for 5 years but my snack list needs a serious update. There seems to be so much more than 5 years ago? And the Mickey as a toy solider popcorn bucket is my 5 year old self’s dream.

    The WOC dessert party is seriously my favourite Disney event. You are going to love it!!

    Has anyone had success booking dining? I mean......for the love of churros!

    Are the Trader Sam’s reservations for the bar stools too? We’ve never had a problem in years past to get in at opening time if we were there around 10 mins before. Hate that it’s all bookable now.

    Yes, sorry I should have made it clearer that I meant offsite. We favour Hotel Indigo. In 2018 we paid $1,028 for 7 nights. This year we are $2,698 for 8 nights. I was being a little extreme with the treble comment too but it is over double. That is with one extra night too. It doesn’t help...

    We’ve been at this time of year regularly until the pandemic. We’ve found the hotel costs have trebled. We were going to treat ourselves to the DLH or GC as it’s our first trip since 2019/the pandemic but I just can’t justify it! And I can justify a lot of Disney expenses!

    Oh no, hopefully you get one by keep checking? I’m worried about trying to snag WOC dessert party and Lamplight Lounge due to how popular they are. We went for Carnation Cafe at 6:50. Wanted 7:00 but they had gone within a few mins but 10 minutes is nothing.

    I think this is the conference - Dec 3rd - 7th. https://www.anaheim.net/Calendar.aspx?EID=33205 I’ve been at this time of year 3 times and conventions have never impacted our time at the parks so hoping this isn’t the ‘thousands attending’ we think it may be Edited to add - did a bit of...

    Napa Rose Chef’s Counter - Here’s How to Book It

    Thanks for all the useful tips on here! Does anyone have experience with booking via email only? We are from the UK and I was just a little worried about getting a return call.
