    ** OPENING DAY PRICING 2017 Pt 1 Jan/May: Magic, Wonder, Dream, Fantasy **

    I don't have the actual breakdowns just total cost. No OBB, trans, or insurance. Called right at 7 and only on hold for 3 minutes. Didn't book anything. Might try to find a time other than Spring Break that I can pull the kids out of school and save a couple thousand . I was hoping to find a 7 N...

    Wisconsin to Port Canaveral - Road Trip!

    I got a super good deal from Midway in Chicago to Orlando on Southwest. $70 each way. We will have to drive about 5 hours from Iowa to get to Chicago, but better than 21 hours!

    Too late once paid in full?

    As long as you are not past your PIF date, you are okay to switch sailings. If you call, they should be able to just transfer the amount you paid to the new reservation.

    Curious - Tropical Storm/Hurricane Question

    We were on the Dream during Hurricane Sandy. We got an email the day before saying we would not be going to Castaway Cay due to the forecast. We were hoping to at least make Nassau and actually made it almost to the dock but it was damaged and they denied us. We ended up on a 3 night cruise to...

    Passport Validity

    Thanks for the replies. Yes, all US citizens. We are not sure if we will be cruising or just be doing the parks. Waiting for a 3 Night GT rate for March 2016. I am hesitant to spend $400 to renew a passport sooner than it needs to be. We likely will not travel internationally again until March...

    Passport Validity

    I know this info exists here somewhere, but can someone confirm how much passport validity is needed for Caribbean and Bahamas cruises? Looking at the state department website it looks like most Caribbean countries just require it to be valid at entry. We are thinking of going in March and ours...

    Changing Disney Transport pick-up location to Disney Resort

    Yes, just give them a call and they can switch it for you. The only thing is the busses from the resorts generally get to the Port later than the airport one.

    Radisson or Country Inn & Suites?

    Make sure if you get the Radisson you call the day before and request a renovated room, there is still a block of ones that are not.We got one last month and although the staff was great, the room was disappointing.

    Switching from a verandah room (4b) to an oceanview (8c) for a family of 5

    Correct as post above says. You have to consider how much time you would spend in the room if it was worth it for a Verandah. 1800 is a lot of Port Adventures or even several plane tickets. Also there is a chance you could get a better room than that cat.

    Where have you found the best prices?

    Depends when you want to sail, there's a thread on the board that tracks the discount rates. There are some awesome deals in February.

    How much time do you budget from ship to boarding gate at MCO?

    As long as you are taking DCL transport and disembarking as soon as you can, you will be okay. We just did an 1130 flight earlier this month and were through security sitting at the gate 2 hours prior to the flight leaving still.

    Pre-pay for Remy?

    I know you can buy a Disney gift card at Disneystore.com with a rewards card or somehow have it transferred to a gift card. Did you prepay gratuities yet? You could use your rewards to prepay part of those.

    Disney Dream for Adults?

    You can either buy a rainforest pass when you board or you can buy a single day pass in advance by going to the in room gifts link on DCL. You fill out the form and fax or email it in. I like the 1 day pass because it's only $18. Quite a deal for $18 to get to use the sauna, showers, whirlpool...

    Interesting DCL site issue...

    I had the exact thing happen awhile back when I tried to modify online, I had to call in. Some bug.

    Recent Southern Caribbean Cruisers: Please share must do's/don'ts

    So since all aboard time is 930pm, is there a time you have to check in by?Trying to decide if we will fly down 2 days early or just the day before. If we don't have to check in until late afternoon or evening, this would give me more confidence on my flight coming from the Midwest in January :)

    Renting a car from MCO to PC.

    I agree on this one. I am all for finding good deals, but we did this last October at the Hyatt and it was AWESOME to just land and wake up the next morning and walk downstairs. Sometimes saving $20 is not quite worth the time it would take away from your Vacation.
