Concierge just sent me the schedule for tastings. Thought it might help someone here.

You're both so right. This makes me feel a lot better! I want to do right by people, of course, so focusing on tipping extra for good service and a bit more for the stateroom host sounds like it will be fine. I will also have concierge to tip, so I don't want to go overboard, but I do want to be...

I actually understand how the tips work. I never even considered that they would charge me double gratuities. LOL! I was asking what I SHOULD do in regards to tipping above my base gratuities, not what Disney does with the tip envelopes. Those aren't always the same thing. Thanks, this was...

I will be taking my first Disney cruise in October, sailing the Wonder out of San Diego for 7 days. I'll be on my own (my favorite way to travel). Here's my question about tipping as a solo: Do I tip for just myself or for what they would get if I were traveling with others? For instance...

DAY FOUR, OVERVIEW PART ONE On the way out this morning, I was on a full elevator with some seniors, and a woman a bit older than me. The grandad recognized my button and congratulated me, then told me to have faith because his mom and grandmother also had cancer and both beat it. I said I was...

Oh my God...can't believe I've been gone so long! I blame my new job! I'll start catching up...

I'm going to take a break from these boards for a bit, and maybe come back to this update. Thanks for everyone who's followed along. All I can say is... Be kind. Be kind. Be kind. One day, that person who needs kindness WILL be you.

Yes, I wasn't the only one who was mad, and she finally came close enough to be told to hurry it up. But unlike the people who were just upset that it was cutting into their party time, I had a different issue.

And I'M trying to say that it may seem like that from the outside looking in, but it's not always as black and white as it appears when you don't have this problem. I'm also trying to help, but from the standpoint of someone who is actually in that person's shoes.

Oddly enough, they were snippy at times to me, too. They REALLY don't like having their group conversations interrupted... I'm thinking you may be right. I know things get better, but unfortunately there are some side effects that become permanent with my regimen, so it may not get better...

Yes, I understand completely. This is where I'm at right now, since I got home and am still in pain three days later. The emotional impact of it is very hard, and it's hard to wrap your head around. But unfortunately, we have changed. Be kind to yourself, and don't be embarrassed for asking for...

Oh, and yes, in general, the Dessert Party WOULD be worth the money. With the waiting and standing around and the length of the show, I don't think I could have seen it any other way.

I did but only with massive medication and couldn't enjoy it. What I was trying to say is that other people don't always understand when someone has a disability the things we face and think that all lines move easily and we should be fine, because of course, THEY'RE fine. It wasn't the only...

Um. Not while you're solo. It was MY example and was only the worst situation in which the line didn't "always move some" as people mentioned earlier. It was NOT the only line that didn't move quickly, and it didn't matter, because after that encounter my ability to function the rest of the trip...

I just came back from a trip this week, and I just want to be honest with you about my experience. I worried about "taking advantage" too and tried to tell myself it would be okay without a DAS. I figured I was like you - I can walk pretty well as long as lines didn't slow down. I kept pushing...

Thanks so much! Right now, I kind of don't have a preference and the GCH had a lot of pluses. But I have always wanted to stay at the DLH and I know at the end of the day, it'll be nice either way. The scooter thing...I'll deal with that a little closer. I still have to get my head around that...

Thanks, Malcon10t. That's actually something I hadn't considered. The room I was in at GCH this week seemed fairly spacious, but I don't know how it would have worked with a scooter... (I've never used one before, but with the amount of pain pills I had to hit this week I should have!) PS...I...

Okay, you know what? Let's erase the money part of it, because I'm afraid we'll get into a discussion about affordability and that's not what I'm asking. Plus, while I plan to book now, I will probably have a chance to get less than rack rate as I get closer. Let's assume the price is equal...

Now that I've returned from a great week at the GCH Concierge level, I'm ready to book my next trip! My plan is to go for my birthday the week of October 20-27, with probably two Halloween parties that week. I will definitely stay concierge and with a nice view. One caveat: I am recently...

Thank you so much; that means a lot coming from you. I think that's really the magic about Disney...people are generally so happy to be there that our walls we build around ourselves come down a bit and you're able to connect more with people than you might in your daily life. The people I met...
