The Skyline is a super cool bar. We really enjoyed O'Gills too. On our cruise, it was fairly lively & fun. Make sure and go to the adult events at The Tube every night. They are soooo fun and Trevor is a total riot. I still can't believe how much fun we had every night at The Tube!!!

We are at the airport, waiting to board! Yeeeeee!!!! WWoHP tomorrow!!!!!!! Sooooooo Soooooooo Excited!!!!!!

We took our kids on their first cruise a few years ago & it was a total surprise. We told them we were going on vacation but it was a "surprise" location. We flew to Jacksonville & took a cab to the cruise ship terminal. When we pulled up to the ship, I thought their little eyes were going to...

We have used this service before, most recently in February 2012 on a Princess cruise. (Disney uses the same company). I did my husband's measurements with a tape measure (and I am no seamstress) & his tux fit fine. It was great coming to our room the first day and voila!!!--formalwear was...

What is everyone wearing for formal & semi formal nights???

I need one of you over planners to do my planning! I've never been a good planner. Before kids, DH & I would fly to Europe with no plans, a backpack & a "Let's Go Europe" book. Those were the days. I've gotten a little better at planning after I left both boys ski pants at home when we went...

I'm taking 10 & 12 yo boys on this trip. They NEVER forget about sports. Ever. I hear that will change once they discover girls, but for right now they love sports.

I hope they at least show the Olympics in the evening. We all know if anyone can afford to buy the broadcasts it's Disney. I think watching with an international crowd would be so fun! And I have a couple of little swimmers who want to watch their heroes compete for gold.

We have cruised Princess, Carnival, RCCL & Celebrity. I disagree with Carnival being a party cruise line. The cruise we took was filled with families. My kids had a wonderful time. I'm sure there are some cruises that are more party intense, but I wouldn't generalize the whole cruise line...

Here's what I did: I bought the 2 park 1 day ticket. When I entered the first park, I immediately bought the basic express passes. They are about $35 per pass. I was able to ride EVERYTHING with 8 & 10 year old en tow. DH was back at the convention center attending meetings all day. The basic...

I am a ride rider (although since having children I can not ride spinning rides anymore) :sad: The Simpsons ride is pure fun, very little jolt. I think if you feel sick at any time you could just close your eyes and be fine. Th FJ, however, is a man among boys. I rode that beast and when I...

Two days would be ideal, but it's very doable in 1 day if you have an express pass. I did both parks in one day with 2 elementary aged children. I bought express passes for us & we took on the parks. Think: "Release the Hounds!" We did everything from the Hulk & FJ to ET & the Suessland...

My children, ages 9 & 11, absolutely adore Atlantis, so when we have cruised in the past, we always get off & go to Atlantis for the day. Would I go to Atlantis again? Yes! After the tiny, overcrowded pools on a cruise ship, the huge (nearly empty) pools at Atlantis are heaven. We really like...

There is an arcade across the street from the Hulk. Send the coaster wimps in there & do the singles line. The Hulk is worth it!

The lockers are all outside the ride lines. During my first Universal experience I had the same "you have got to be kidding me" outlook regarding the lockers. Once I experienced the locker set up & the rides they're required for (wow), I am totally fine with the whole process. It's so not a big...

We are doing 2 days at Universal before our 7 night Fantasy cruise & then 1 night at the Disney Swan/Dolphin to relax post cruise. Can't wait!

I'm a first time DCL cruiser. When my 75 day window opened, I was able to get both a Palo reservation and an excursion. The only reason I booked my excursion through DCL is because we are at port for an extremely short time. I think it's a much better value to book your excursion from a local...

There is a Target right on Harbor Blvd. I get our supplies there every time we go to DL!

I have to agree, while I don't dislike WDW, I enjoy DL much more. I hate all of that time trying to get from park to park at WDW. I think Fantasyland at DL is truly whimsical & magical. I like strolling across the walkway to enter CA after spending the morning at DL. IMHO, it is easier to enjoy...

We are on the Western in August with 2 kids, 10 & 12. We are seeing the ruins in Costa Maya (just because we've never been, so why not). In Grand Cayman we are going to Stingray City. We booked through Stingray Sailings. In Cozumel we are just taking a taxi to a beach, probably Paradise Beach...
