I know this topic is super old, but has anyone done this recently? I'm considering booking a weekend to donate for my son's charter school's silent auction. The school is in Orlando, so it would be a fun staycation for a family. My husband is questioning if we'd have any liability if we...

I never knew that there was a different menu there and I am definitely going to check that out! I'm so glad you mentioned it! This will be our first cruise where my kids are old enough that I won't worry about them being without me so that I can do the Serenity Bay. I've only seen the...

We love Tisa too! I'm glad to hear she's on the Magic now, because that's our next one. For recent cruisers who have kids, were you able to book additional Oceaneers time for them so you could do things like karaoke and trivia?

My guess is that between Cinderella and Aurora being golden blondes who both sometimes wear blue dresses, they wanted to make Elsa stand out physically. Maybe they went for platinum blonde but overshot to white, or maybe platinum is hard to process into a wig? I don't love it, especially when...

Your blue DVC member card and photo ID are sufficient. Like auroraborealis said, getting tickets without staying on-site is going to be your setback, as the sign-up for those tickets is a few weeks after they give tickets to people staying on-site. Some DVC members book a night only for the...

Thanks! We are going to pass on the fish extender thing. Maybe some other time. I did join that group anyway, just for fun. :o)

We have cruised once on DCL, on the Magic. We went to Nassau, but didn't do any organized excursions. We walked to a drug store, the pirate museum (very good, but a little pricey and kind of scary for little kids), and the post office, then got DD's hair braided in the market. We were back in...

I have no idea about the fish extender. Is there a separate message board for that? I know what it is, but I've never participated. :o)

FWIW, I prefer Kidani over Jambo. I like that it's newer and designed as DVC rooms, not re-purposed to be DVC rooms. I've stayed at both. (I need to update my signature-I'm in the too-many-to-count camp now!) Kidani is our home resort, and we stay there every December. We love the smaller...

I swam competitively for most of my childhood and through college. I am terrified of the idea of stateroom verandahs. I don't blame your DH one bit! (I've never been into a stateroom with a verandah, so I don't know how they're designed. I am comfortable with the common area rails that are...

Yay! I am so excited to find this board! DH, DS (3 y.o.), DD (7 y.o.), and I are really looking forward to this trip! This will be our second DCL cruise, but first where DS is old enough to enjoy the kids' activities. We have been DVC and AP since 2011, and moved from Lake Geneva, WI, to...

We have done the City Mini via Orlando Stroller Rental too. We liked it okay. I think the cup holder was a little tipsy, but that may have been if you put two drinks in it. The convenience was great, esp. since we had a long walk within the hotel (if you rent from WDW, you wouldn't have...

We just stayed at a Kidani one-bedroom, 2-bathroom villa. It was really great-the second bathroom is small, but definitely adequate for two low maintenance adults and one kid. I don't think we can go back to a studio after that!

Our DD is only 2 y.o., but we toured Simba's just to see for our next trip. The cast members are trained in CPR, and there is a maximum child:cast member ratio (though I've forgotten what the #was). I am a bit (okay, a lot) of a tiger mom, so I am super cautious about who watches DD. I would...

There's a shuttle van that takes you door to door (as opposed to the bus loading areas). We stayed at KV and used the van often. It was really convenient, and you can take your stroller with you in the van. The van runs on ~10 minute intervals so you never wait for long. The walking path...
