    No more signed pillow cases?

    When I called about an excursion question, the gentleman I was speaking to at DCL said "Don't forget to bring a pillowcase to leave at guest services to be signed for your princess." That was today at like 9am. I would bring your items (2 per stateroom) just in case.

    Disappointed victim of Hurricane Sandy

    We are no strangers to hurricanes, and as one PP said (since for some reason my quote option is not working this morning) the pain and grief of such storms does lessen and healing will happen. :hug: That being said, I wonder if you should book the cruise for '13 that falls within the week that...

    Letting kids roam wild and free?

    When I was a teen/tween I used to get SOOO sick of my mom saying "It's not YOU I don't trust... it's the other people." Now that I am the one worrying about my kids, I laugh at myself for ever thinking what she was saying was a cop out. While giving kids certain freedoms is an awesome...

    Please help me with school excuse letter!

    If you are in Texas, I would ask if it would be better from the perspective of their attendance numbers and your child's attendance requirements if you withdrew the child and "homeschooled" while on vacation. Thankfully, I homeschool and do not have to worry, but, I do know that Texas views...

    December 1, 2012 Magic Galveston

    Howdy! Just changed our reservation to Dec 1st, replacing our 2/23 cruise .. we got one extra night and saved a TON of money! I will admit that I am a little sad that I will not be sailing with my original meet group as I had grown close to them... one mom in particular. The thought of...

    Help!!

    I think, once you look at the real cost (taxes, port fees, sodas, kid's care) your DH may find the cost difference to be so small that he might as well book DCL. AND if you can snag a GTY rate, it will possibly be cheaper than other lines.

    Shopping on Western... Cozumel

    My DD is 7 and is SO excited to sail the Magic in a little over 3 weeks. She loves Disney and loves her yearly "just us" mom and DD trip... BUT if there is one thing that she loves more, it's shopping. She has been talking about finding an authentic Mexican/ Yucatan dress for weeks. I would like...

    Any tips Should know for a holiday cruise?

    We just transferred ressies to 12/1 on the Magic! (One day longer than our Feb cruise and 600 bucks cheaper.) I am SOOO excited to know that Christmas decor and themed activities will be happening! I am a wee bit over the top when it comes to Christmas... :rotfl2: Even more excited now! Haul...

    Starting to panic -- what should I do?

    I would call them every day for sure.. and if/when you do not get answers that satisfy you, ask to speak to a supervisor. Also, maybe you can call FL vital statistics and ask them what the process would be for an expedited certified copy to be sent to you from them directly. Good luck!

    Disney Magic Galveston parking?

    I just reserved with BOI (born on the island) valet parking.. covered, bonded and 24 hr security for 65 on a 7 night. I read too many threads about ezpark no longer taking Disney reservations.

    Traveling to Galveston

    Sw had deals this week for 68 each way booked online. That's cheaper than gas and food IMO.

    Questions about Magic in January!

    How about this... with a Santa note on the first page? Also.. I am cruises in Feb with my DD.. it's our mom and me girls only trip.. and in Cozumel, I booked a tour of the chocolate factory. 11 US dollars and kids are free, but get to help make chocolate and take some home. It's a tiny...

    Carnival bashing? No, but a very different customer service experience!

    Another odd bit of advice: As an old nurse... I want you to know that urinary health is a BIG deal when it comes to dementia and alzheimer's. As odd as this sounds, when a person with either, or just an elderly patient has a kidney, bladder or UT infection, their entire demeanor and cognitive...

    Double amputee, wheelchair bound - is a cruise even a (sane) possibility??

    My DD and I will be on the Magic in Feb 2013 and I will be paying close attention to WC issues as my mom really wants to cruise with us next time and she is WC bound. I would love to take her this time, but 6 nights at sea if she was not comfortable would be not so fun for her and her caregiver...

    So sad, don't know what to do!!

    Nov of 2013? Or did you mean 2012? If it's 2012, have you checked the Kids Sail Free offer out of Galveston, TX? You might be able to make up the difference in cost. I am so sorry for your loss.

    OH NO.. I Just Broke My Foot!!!

    Ok.. so this is going to sound soooooo odd. But, I would also buy some of that no slip rubber shelf liner from the dollar store.. in case the decks are slippery with your boot cast (I call them "the humbler"). You can find fleece arm pads for the crutches and I would put a square of fleece...
