Bit late to the party, but Jo is Joanne Slocombe. Two transatlantic cruises with Jo as Club Host - she is the best!

I travel a lot with my elderly mother and we both need our own beds so, in the past, it's always been a choice of OKW studio or a 2-bedroom. We gave Art of Animation a try on cash as I am points poor at the moment, and the pull-down bed which converts from a dining table is extremely...

I am sorry to say you are all not alone! My Mum, who is 84, ended up with pneumonia too and was admitted to hospital for six nights when we arrived in Orlando after the cruise. I've had a bad chest infection and am still ill now. I thought we had just been unlucky but seems this was more...

My Mum had a HA room on the Magic last year and there were two different ways to enter the room - one the usual way opening the door manually and one to use the auto door opening. I always opened it normally and my Mum used the auto opening. Never had a HA room on the newer ships so not sure...

Yes, high speeds were a definite factor. We got slightly obsessed with it and were constantly looking at the tv channel with the map, speed etc., however, I would say it wasn't just speed. On more than one occasion the vibration wasn't so bad and we thought we must have slowed down, however...

We stayed in room 8664 on an Eastern Cruise in September. Did I like the location? Yes. Did I like the vibrations in the room? NO! I wouldn't recommend this stateroom as the vibration was something else. The whole room would shake when it was at its worse - the pictures on the wall, the TV...

I would add that it is worth checking the website several times a day if you can. I have often found availability for my waitlist before the waitlist has come through for me. Good luck.

I managed to get on this evening. Whilst speaking to a cast member about a possible soft opening tomorrow, a manager invited me in as i was on my own! The designing car part is fantastic. I get the feeling that a lot of the simulation features were not working 100% on the ride, so the ride...

They also have pumpkin spice cupcakes at the contemporary and polynesian counter service. The polynesian one had the edge for me.

Thanks. I will check the site carefully before sending my letter off. I can remember one of the flights was delayed due to the pilot being ill but can't remember the other reasons. Shouldn't think we will be able to make a claim but it's worth investigating.

This is very interesting. Thanks for the info. I've read through the moneysavingexpert link but can't find where it says you can apply for flights taken from 2005 onwards. Believe it or not, I had three flights on Virgin in 2008 delayed between 4 and 5 hours! It put me off flying with...

Isn't it funny how you can be told different things by different employees?! I was there from 27th July for a week and the TV in my studio and the one in the lounge were both analogue. I was watching a little more tv than usual due to the Olympics. Let's hope that your engineer was right and...

I returned from a 2 night trip to VWL and then a week at kidani last month. The difference between the HD picture at VWL and the standard picture at kidani was startling. So much so that I requested an engineer at kidani who tweaked the cable which helped a bit. He explained that there was no...

Just in case it helps somebody, I upgraded my 14 day ultimate to a DVC AP a couple of year's ago at Downtown Disney. As I had only used the ultimate ticket to enter the main parks and not the premium element, I was permitted to upgrade to just a normal annual pass. I think the cost was around...

Thank you for the photo and helpful responses. At least there seems to be some confirmation that there is a safe in the value studios, whether it is dedicated and includes the closet or not. I know that this doesn't keep things 100% secure, but in our travel insurance in the UK we are not...

I've been to California a couple of times now and am going again next April. If you are a Disney fan it is well worth one trip to see the original park. Disneyland park and the fireworks there are amazing. If you are a shopping fan (like myself!) then a trip to Las Vegas is definitely...

Great, thanks for your response. Just wanted to check as without a closet, I couldn't picture where it would be! If it is an electronic safe like they have at Kidani I guess they could put it into the wardrobe. Thanks for your help.

I have been lucky enough for my waitlist to come through for a value studio in Jambo House for my trip next month. :cool1: I've tried searching on the boards but can find no mention as to whether the rooms have a safe. As it is normally in the closet and the majority of the value rooms do...

I upgraded my 14 day UK ultimate ticket last year to a DVC annual pass. As I was renewing my old annual pass with the ticket it did take quite a long time but I managed to get a 15 month pass for only an additional $40! I took advice from others on this forum that the passes can be upgraded...
