Our Stateroom Hosts put those pieces of wood in, but they didn't work very well. If one of the kids bumped against the door, the wood would fall out and the door would slam shut. I would use a rubber door stop. I'd also recommend keeping the door locks sticking out so that if the door slams...

My son, friend's daughter and niece were all quarantined due to the Norwalk Virus on our January '03 cruise. Since they were all 5 years old at the time, an adult had to be quarantined with them. My friend and I flew home from St. Martin, but my sister decided to stay. The insurance paid to...

Try Access America (www.accessamerica.com) They are the same insurance company that Disney uses and you can save a lot of money by ordering your insurance directly through them. Also, this is important if you don't book your air through Disney. Disney will only insure the cruise portion if...

On our last cruise, my son and I were travelling with a friend and her 2 children. When we got to dinner the first night, there were 2 women which I guessed to be mother and daughter along with 2 children at a table for 10 with one empty seat. We were making introductions when a gentleman came...

Buy the insurance. If you're interested in saving dollars, book directly through Access America (www.accessamerica.com). I never brought insurance prior to last year's cruise and boy am I glad I did buy it for this cruise. My son got sick and was quarantined for 72 hours. Disney flew us home...

I had an experience on my last Disney Cruise where a woman was saving 10 seats, yes one woman, in the Walt Disney Theater. My party of 5 disturbed about 6 people to get to the center of a row where we saw 10 seats. As soon as we get there, the woman at the end tells us that all 10 seats were...

I took my first Disney Cruise a week before my son turned 3. He was potty trained and would let you know when he had to go. He had a problem when he peed because of a membrane covering the tip which was diagnosed later. The doctor compared it to putting your thumb over the end of a garden...

I would purchase the insurance and as other posters have mentioned, purchase it directly from Access America. I was unfortunate enough to have needed it last year when my son showed symptoms of "gastro-intestinal" illness and we were quarantined for 72 hours. Because we had the insurance, we...

Your friends got the Castaway Club towels and pins because their ressies were linked to yours. I had first time cruisers linked to my reservations last year and they got the same amenities as well as the Castaway Club Invite to the party.

I would recommend using a car service instead of the shuttle. For a family of 8, you'd be paying at least $450. if shuttle prices have not gone up in the last year. We used Happy Limo and got a 10 passenger van for $145 last Jaunuary when there were 10 people in our group. In May, when our...

My son used water wings in the Goofy pool which we were able to purchase poolside on the Magic for only $3.00.

We used Happy Limo and they had a 10 passenger van. Go to www.happylimo.com. It worked great and we saved a couple of hundred dollars.

I would highly advise againt missing dinner the first night or any night. First of all, you'd be missing a great meal. Sure, you can order from Room Service, but you can't order as nice a meal as you would get in one of the restaurants. The most important reason is because of the Norwalk...

We did the day room back in May when we had a 5:00 flight. Most airlines will not allow you to check-in more than 4 hours before the flight. We arrived at the airport at 8:30 am, but couldn't check our luggage until 1:00. The Hyatt let us leave our suitcases in the lobby until we could check...

Another suggestion not mentioned on this thread is to bring enough liquor to hold you over until you get to one the islands. The liquor is much cheaper in the islands and if you drink it all while still on the ship, it doesn't count towards your liquor allowance. Just remember that if you open...

How about I join you on the cruise. I'll pay my own way and Disney will have to give you a cabin for 4. I'll even let your daughter sleep in the top bunk (LOL).

I did the Total Face and Body and the treatment itself was very enjoyable and relaxing. The bad part came after when the girl spent 15 minutes trying to sell the products she used on me. I really wasn't interested and told her so, but she was very persistant. That pressure helped undo all the...

Go for the connecting rooms. It will be cheaper than a category 4 even though you have to pay for one of the kids as an adult. I'm a single mom with a 5 year old and took 2 cruises last yer with another single mom with her 2 kids. Since there were 5 of us, we had the option of a Category 4 or...

I would definitely recommend getting the insurance. Last January, I was cruising with my 5 year old son, sister, niece, nephew and friends. My friends daughter started throwing up on the 2nd day of the cruise and was quarantined for 72 hours. My niece and son showed signs of "gastrointestinal...

I also recommend a day room at the Hyatt. We did that after we cruised in May and it was perfect. The pool and exercise room were nice and the time passed quickly. With a 7 year old and two 5 year olds, the thought of trying to entertain them at the airport for 8 hours was unthinkable. I...
