    They are showing up, once you hit the "search" button. The main search selection page doesn't seem up to date, but when you go into the list they're there.

    Cape Canaveral...where to stay

    We haven't stayed at any of the hotels yet, but we did just drive around PC yesterday scoping out the hotels (and to familiarize ourselves with the area). We looked at Country Inn and Suites, Radisson, Mariott, Best Western, and La Quinta. I've already heard great things about the Radisson, but...

    Toll tags/pass

    They're supposed to be working on that right now, actually. It's supposed to be done sometime in 2014.

    HEADS UP....Dream/Magic Itinerary Change Fall of 2014

    We tried asking but they said they wouldn't do ANYTHING for us. I'd rather keep my reservation on the Wonder for less $ than switch back to the Magic and give them more.

    Birthday Celebration Package?

    Thank you! We'll definitely do it then. I was hoping to see a close-up of the bed runner, but it's Disney so it has to be cute. :)

    newbie questions- gratuities, kid's club, and port parking

    It's hard to cut money out of our excursion budget, seeing as we don't have any excursions planned. Haha. I do have a document listing budgets for everything we are doing- Gratuities, alcohol, shopping, Palo, and nursery time is about it! There seems to be so much to do that's included in the...

    newbie questions- gratuities, kid's club, and port parking

    Yuck, I did some reading on how cruise employee pay works. I have to say I'm shocked! I had no idea they get paid so little for doing so much. Thanks for past posters that have politely answered my questions and brought it to my attention. That's why I asked well before the cruise! Now it's just...

    newbie questions- gratuities, kid's club, and port parking

    Do the servers not get paid besides their tips? I assumed they were getting at least some kind of base pay for all that they do.

    newbie questions- gratuities, kid's club, and port parking

    Ahh thanks for explaining, that makes a little more sense. I took "cooking" as being back in the kitchen doing the more heavy-duty cooking. I didn't even know what's available up on the deck, that sounds yummy. :)

    newbie questions- gratuities, kid's club, and port parking

    I find it hard to believe that the servers are also doing the cooking. Anyway, as I said, first time cruiser. No idea about how any of it works- that's why I asked. No need to cringe IMO :thumbsup2

    HEADS UP....Dream/Magic Itinerary Change Fall of 2014

    Same here. We decided to keep our cruise on the Wonder. $2500 for 2A2C for 5 nights is looking better and better. If it's a Disney ship, it will be a good time, I'm not paying more. :goodvibes

    newbie questions- gratuities, kid's club, and port parking

    We'll be cruising Sept 8 on the Dream. The coupon is for parking at the port. We're staying at the Best Western but there are a few other hotels in the area that also offer it. I've read about it in a few other threads on here, so I am sure it's port parking. Sounds too good to be true...

    newbie questions- gratuities, kid's club, and port parking

    Thanks, that's such a relief to hear we can register him for both! He LOVES being around big kids so I'm sure he'd be fine for 45 mins to an hour. Anything longer than that we'll definitely put him in the nursery for. We'll be doing a 4 night on the Dream. I'm so excited it's been hard to...

    newbie questions- gratuities, kid's club, and port parking

    We're going on our first cruise in September, and as I get more excited I also get more questions that I can't find answers to. I'd really appreciate any help! :goodvibes 1. I'm trying to figure out and budget gratuities. I know Disney recommends $12/pp per day, but what about infants? Not...

    September 8, 2013 Disney Dream

    Hi all! My family and I just switched over to this cruise from the Sept 5 sailing. More days = better! :thumbsup2 My big boy will be turning 3 on this cruise so we're celebrating his birthday. DH and I will be there, of course, and our other DS who will be almost 2. This is our first cruise, and...

    Calling all dcl vets...

    That's what I thought when I was reading about RC's ships. Why go on a cruise to feel like you're on land?? I can go to the mall any day. :) OP, I've read complaints like that too but never all from one person. Some people may go for the food but skip the shows, others may only find the food...

    Birthday Celebration Package?

    Hi there! I was just wondering if anyone has purchased the birthday celebration package recently? DCL site says it comes with "an exclusive Disney Cruise Line bed runner." I'm assuming we get to keep this, is that correct? Does anyone have a picture of it? I can't imagine paying $50 and not...

    Cruise Line Magnet Help!!

    You want to laminate the picture before you glue it to the magnet, not after. :thumbsup2

    Switching the Wonder for the Magic out of Miami in December 2014...not happy.

    Do you know for a fact they're not giving any compensation? I've been waiting until June 12 to call and ask about it. I'm not thrilled about paying the same for the Wonder as we were going to for a newly-redone ship. On the other hand, we just can't afford to make it a 7 night cruise so we might...
