    Skip Key West

    Just got back from a 7-day Magic. The entire trip was indeed magical, except for the stop in Key West. 2 families made up our party, 4 adults and 6 kids ranging from 6 to 12. The amount of people made renting vehicles pricey and logistically challenging so we decided to walk - 1st...

    Just got back from 3 night wonder. I parasailed in CC. You need to be 90lbs on your own or in tandem. Cost is $70 per person. THey will not haggle on the weight as it is needed to control the parachute. 70 lbs is not enough weight to control the parachute so they will not let you go...

    TV & the room configuration

    Don't worry about kids falling asleep.... they will be so tired from activities (and you too) that the pillow is all they need. Quick tip -- schedule a wake up call. Captain Mickey calls the room. It is a treat!

    Just got back from a 3 day wonder cruise. Had a kid in 3-4, 5-7 and 8-9 clubs. I couldnt imagine my 3 (almost 4) year old in the day care. He did very well. He paged us a couple of times but that was to be expected. We thought the clubs would be great at night so wife and I could do...
