    WDW Summary of NEW DAS changes and Disney Genie - Post ONE is an updated summary

    We roll onto WDW on Tuesday so we made our call (video chat) yesterday. My wife was spearheading the effort for our disabled adult son - who was standing by. After a few bumps in the road, we got everything setup. From the time we opened the messenger to claim our spot in line, we started a chat...

    Boat Rental and Fishing

    I did it when we stayed at the Yacht Club a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it. It was an early morning and I went fishing in the EPCOT lagoon before the park opened. I was catching fish all around the world!

    What was your first resort?

    I grew up in South Fla and we vacationed in Daytona Beach, so Disney was always a daytrip for us. At some point in the late 70's we spent a night or two in the old Contemporary North Garden Wing. Two weeks from today we will be checking into three rooms in the South Garden Wing.

    Yacht Club to MK in a Wheelchair

    Thanks for the great advise. Decisions, decisions... It may come down to wanting the Disney full experience and riding on the monorail.

    Yacht Club to MK in a Wheelchair

    We'll be spending a week at Yacht Club next week. Monday we have passes for MK. Our son is a fulltime power chair user. What is the easiest way to get over to the park? I understand we can drive our van over or take a bus. Does the bus take us right to the gate?

    Port Canaveral parking

    This only pertains to a small subset of cruisers... If you have a van modified for wheelchair use like we do, parking is free. The wheelchair user has to be be present.

    Metal on swimmwear attracting fish?

    I was just snorkeling in the lagoon at CC last week and was frequently surrounded by fish. Those fish would easily attack a 'cuda. A dangling cross or charm on a necklace is much more of am attractant than a gold ring.

    Very Merrytime

    We cruise on the Dream this Friday and we are not sure we will recognize it because this is our first non-Merrytime cruise.

    Sea sickness medicine aboard ship

    I learned years ago from a fishing captain to start these meds before heading out. He told us to take dramamine the night before a morning trip to get it in your system. It usually has a 12-18 hour effectiveness. I then top it off in the morning with bonine since it is non drowsy. Usually on...

    Football on Fantasy?

    The bigger question is... Will you pay for the internet access plan so you can keep up with your fantasy football team while on the Fantasy?

    CC Snorkeling

    Ah yes! Santa Claus brought me a GoPro a couple of years ago. Before I snorkel, my daughter and I will be parasailing. Last cruise I took the camera fishing and on the jet ski excursion.

    Which cruise line do you like after DCL?

    The only other cruise I have been on was the Dolphin IV (Dolphin Cruise line) back in 1990 with college friends. We thought we were living large. Looking back after four trips on the Dream, it was a rust bucket.

    CC Snorkeling

    As I read this I think I remember leaving my stuff at the base of a lifeguard stand, or I could be wrong. It was a few a Konk Koolers ago.

    CC Snorkeling

    We set sail in a couple of weeks on our fifth cruise. I plan to go snorkeling at Castaway Cay. I have done it before and know that I need to stop off at the shack to rent my gear. I cannot remember where I should stash my shoes while I dive. My family will not be with me, so we will not have...

    Bamboo Drink Container

    On my last cruise I ordered a Konk Kooler in one of the bamboo drink containers. I seem to recall there was discount/benefit to getting the bamboo thing. Does anyone remember what the discount/benefit is and I am assuming the deal will still apply when I sail next month.
