    Did I make a big mistake? (stateroom and Enchanted Garden - Dream)

    as @auntlynne said, you're in a deadend, so you won't have any problem. That greyish area on the deck plan is a wall, so it's not open to where the entrance to the restaurant is. We stayed on Deck 2 of the Fantasy (2519) and loved it. It was kind of crazy going to dinner and coming aroudn the...

    Solo Disney cruisers, what does your typical day on the ship look like?

    I can't speak to solo cruising personally, but I think you'll have a great time. There are often solo people at game shows and trivia because the rest of their party is doing something else. There are many times that me and my husband split up with me lounging and reading a book and him off...

    Dining Rotation Question - Animator's Palate on 5 Night (Dream)

    I was going to say exactly this. I don't really see how they would do it if they couldn't do it for everyone. That being said, I'm kind of over Crush and wish they'd change to Animation Magic as the primary show and save Crush for longer sailings.

    Storage at the adult pools\ chair hogs

    We would use that. We're not typically sit around in the loungers type of people. We do, however enjoy the hot tub and pool. We end up putting our stuff in a small pile along the wall or behind the one trash/towel bin across from Cove Cafe, but a cubby space would be great! They have them by...

    How much do drinks cost at the bars?

    I'm also not much of a drinker lately. I've been reading that you can order most DOD as non-alcoholic, so you still get all the fruity fun and vacation atomosphere. I'ts my understanding that the price is typically the same, but that's not too much of an issue for me.

    Disney Magic Band+ question

    I haven't had experience, but I think I've read that the photopass photographers can also scan your MB+ to connect photos to your account.

    Disney Cruise Line- Snorkeling on Castaway Cay

    I have my own mask/snorkel and prefer not to wear fins due to some foot/lower leg issues. I know that I can get the vest to use in the snorkel area. Can you take the vest to the regular swimming area to check out that area or is snorkeling only allowed in the snorkel area?

    Any other DCL nerds out there?

    We/I do almost all the same things (except the envelopes for budgeting). DH teases me for my obsession with watching port cameras close to a cruise! We also review some of our DCL trivia facts. While we don't often win trivia, we have won the DCL specific trivia a few times! It's our favorite one!

    Embarkation Lunch - Where do you go?

    We're mostly Cabanas. But when we've traveled with parents we've done MDR to avoid the hectic crowds at Cabanas.

    Grand Floridian Vs Disney Fantasy

    Maybe that's why I liked your comparison so much...we don't do much at ports and we don't spend extra on board. I think I've purchased two souveniers in 7 cruises. We've done a total 3 excursions at less than $100 per person and rented bikes at Castaway a few times.. We haven't done spectialty...

    Does shipboard medical take HSA?

    Same for us!

    Does shipboard medical take HSA?

    To an extent...I can tell you that if you accedentallly give the server at Texas Roadhouse your blue HSA card instead of your blue Chase card, it will not work. Apparently, you cannot pay for steak with your HSA card...ask me how I know. 😂

    Grand Floridian Vs Disney Fantasy

    Depends on if you do them. We've done 7 cruises with number 8 & 9 coming up in May. I think we've done 3 excursions, total and they've not been expensive.

    Grand Floridian Vs Disney Fantasy

    This is why we've been cruising more the past few years and haven't had a parks trip planned in a while. It just feels like a better value to us! I like seeing the numbers! @dobball23

    Carnival Ship Fire in Bahamas

    Can't get through on phone to book....?

    When people ask why I use a travel agent...this is why. Simply for booking day! Wishing you all luck!

    Castaway Cay Wind Concern!

    Depending on the ages of your kids, could you just explain that you're hoping to get to a really cool beach, but it will depend on the weather. That it is a really large ship and sometimes it can be hard? If they're too little to understand that, maybe don't mention the beach at all and it...

    Toilet height

    We've stayed in HA rooms a couple of times due to be assigned there for GTY reservations. As someone on the shorter side, taller toilets aren't comfortable for me (my feet are dangling! :-)). I don't remember specifically, but I don't remember this being something that bothered me in our HA...

    What exactly is so bad about the pirate night food, and is anything good?

    I think that's a very fair point, if one is planning Palo/Remy dinner. I'd definitley not want to miss some other things. We don't/havent done that, yet, so it hasn't been a problem for us.

    Dining Together With Friends

    We sailed with friends that we'd met on another cruise. We got their reservation number and gave it to our TA, they did the same. She arranged it so that we'd be seated for dinner together, but nothing else about our reservations were linked. I can't tell you how to do it, because our TA did the...
