We have a friend who works for Disney. I was about to book through him using his Friends and Family rate, when we discovered that the website was offering a deal that we all (including the reservation agent) thought was even better than the F&F rate. This was a week or two ago. The parking...

I just did this in December. It was $280 total for round trip transfers for 4 people. $35 each way/person. Yes, as Shmoo said, make sure you tell the Hyatt people at check in. There's a list they give to Disney to make sure the bags get transferred. I'd double check with Disney when you get...

There was when I went last month. Didn't try it out though.

3 days is almost too short. I'd think a 4 day is a good way to dip your toes in. It's WAYYYY less crowded than the parks. In fact, Disney's crowd control is the best I've seen (although I'm waiting to experience Royal Caribbean) of the cruise lines. Accordingly, you'll be able to do so much...

I don't drink. I can't. DW doesn't like the taste. We have plenty of fun. Even if I didn't have my kids around, I couldn't fit all I wanted to do. And I really don't feel like I miss out. There's a lot of stuff marketed to alcohol drinkers like that beer mug and stuff, but it's easy to...

Does it have the Magic Porthole? If so, I'd stay put. Disney is expensive enough, that the extra money can be used to enjoy other things. Souvenirs, excursions, etc. We were "forced" into a verandah this past cruise cuz we booked late and that's all they had left. It was nice to have, but...

What prices are you guys getting? Unless you are a single or couple, everything I looked at seems to suggest that renting a car is the cheapest. BY FAR! Over any shuttle service. I mean, it wasn't even close. So, it seemed like the private services were only cheaper by about $50-60 than...

Glacier Bay was awe inspiring. For that reason alone, I'd say Princess or Holland. Overall, Princess just checks more boxes for me which is why I end up sailing with them most often, even though I always begin my vacation search intending to try another line.

Thanks! Ok, they did get the prices right. I just remember thinking the prices were weird when I was signing the slip, but in the mad rush to get in the theater, the small price difference wasn't worth asking about. I could have sworn it was some odd amount that was less than $1. Maybe it...

Enchanted Garden is my least favorite

yeah, accept you can't do everything and just make a list of "must do" things. Couldn't do the Detective game, but at least got to check out some of the interactive "paintings" You "must" download the app. Makes life much easier because it's easier to search for exact times than using the...

On Yelp, Budget has HORRIBLE reviews. They're like 1 star. I ended up booking Enterprise for like $3 more. It was hassle free and I'd highly recommend them.

Is Wishes on the Fantasy about Disneyland as well? I don't recall catching the Disneyland references although I was pretty wiped out by then. And had an out of control kid sitting next to me whose parents couldn't be bothered to control her. Seeing a movie on board is WAY more relaxing than...

Whoah! I was hearing $15 from the people in line. I think I got slightly ripped off. I never got the receipt, but IIRC from the slip I signed, the BB8 cup and the Boba Fett cup are different prices. Is that right? Seems they would be the same to me. FWIW, Boba is easier to clean...

Definitely follow up on it. I booked last minute so I forgot to check. I was actually getting OBC from my travel agent as well. None of it showed up and I didn't discover that until we were already at sea. Luckily, the ship gave 50 MB of free data the first night and I was able to send...

The age of the child makes a difference to me. Mine are 6 and 8. We just got back a little over a week ago. Stayed at the Hyatt MCO before and after and did the Disney transfers. We got in at 4:50 PM. At that point, being stuck in an airplane for so long, the kids kind of had it. MCO Hyatt...

I promised to update. I just can't remember which post it was in so I'm making a new post. Anyways, I can confirm that if you book the cruise with the Disney Visa cc, you get $50 OBC. It is nonrefundable. Use it or lose it. Only to be used towards beverages. Gratuities for those beverages...

US cash worked fine in Grand Cayman and Cozumel, Mexico. I did get back some form of Mexican currency in coins, even though I paid with US dollars at some giant Walmart like store. I thought it would be pesos (doesn't look like the pesos I remember from 20 years ago), but it had the US $...

Was on the Fantasy for the PremEar. No characters. Big 3D bill board thingy to take pictures in front of. It took the place of the big evening show. We had to enter a lotto for time slots. 2D and 3D. I got the 7pm 3D showing. Lots of fun. Tons of merchandise, including the mugs and...

I checked for a year for my cruise. Every day starting about 6 months in. Never dropped on my cruise. Well, it went up a few hundred bucks, and then would drop back down. In the end, it went up. I booked last minute because I was going to skip, but changed mind at last minute. There was...
