    suggestions for servers on Wonder

    We had Januar when we were on the Wonder in May 2012 and he was fantastic! I think he often trains the new assistant servers (Gerda wasn't ours - I forgot his name - oops!). Fantastic servers though! We had Michael as a stateroom host and he was absolutely amazing - I didn't know you could...

    Tipping your servers

    For the staff who receive tips, those tips are their ENTIRE wage. If you don't tip them, they just got paid nothing. We were a group of 7 when we went - our servers only had 3 tables other than us (plus another rotational of course) - if we hadn't tipped, that would have been a large...

    What are the prices for the coktails

    I really like the "bon Voyage" drinks - strawberry daquiri and pina colada. I think they were about $7 each plus tip. Virgin ones ran about $5.

    Going to Disneyland with an Autistic Brother

    I totally agree about taking breaks - Disneyland rates very high for visual and auditory stimulation, which can be difficult for some autistic kids (my oldest son and my brother are both autistic). We get the GAC and have also found that it almost always substantially cuts down on waits and the...

    DL Etiquette

    We're going to DL in 9 days and my 3 year old is about 80% potty trained (we started 2 months ago and it's taken much longer with her than it did with her brothers - we thought she would be trained for the trip - oh well :) We're doing pullups for backup, but even if we weren't I would say it's...

    DL Etiquette

    I don't have a problem when people with kids have one parent stand in line and the others join later- this only really works in an outside line though- if you are pushing past people because you have to reach the parent by walking past every (versus popping under a rope like at splash mountain)...

    May 14, 2012 - Va-moose-ing to Vancouver!

    we're leaving next Saturday for LA. I started packing today - my two littlest helpers were being extra "helpful" but I managed to get a decent chunk done. Cute story this morning - my three year old found one of her old "cinderella" disney store shoes and she put it on, gasped, and exclaimed...

    Best Western Raffles? Your thoughts?

    we stayed in oct 2010 - the suites are quite large (we stayed in a family suite with bunk beds and it was roughly 3 times the size of an average hotel room - didn't have 2 bathrooms as advertised though) which was great. We found that it needed updating but was clean and the price was a good...

    Any parents of only child with autism?

    My oldest is autistic, as is my brother. We decided to have a second before we knew that our oldest was autistic (pregnant before his first birthday - there were some red flags looking back but we didn't connect the dots at the time). Our second was a boy and isn't autistic. My oldest was in...

    Official Autism Diagnosis and have questions

    My son was first assessed for autism at age 2, then finished official testing by age 3.5. Autism isn't really something a child grows out of - some kids do really well with the help of therapy and are able to function at a level similar to their peers in time. Early intervention is essential...

    A Dream, A promise and a bust.. a lesson in autism

    That's terrible that they didn't at least tell you in advance when you called :mad: I made a similar phone call today - my brother and my son are both autistic and my brother really wants to go to the teen club (he's 20). I was told that they are not bending the age restrictions at all due to...
