    Trip insurance---"cancel for any reason" ??

    I buy insurance through Disney. We just had to cancel in May when I was diagnosed with a mass in my heart (turned out to be a blood clot on my pacer wire, but it took some time to figure out). Our travel agent called Disney when we were about 33 days from our sail date. The Disney CM was very...

    BBB vs. Royal Court Tea

    We did Royal Court Tea a EP years ago when DD was nine. Definitely a one time thing, but she still talks about it. It was truly special and well worth the cost.we have done BBB several times at the parks and the tea is its own thing. I thing aged 5 to 9 are ideal.

    DCL/Disney Business model change setup for long term failure?

    We just returned from Disneyland (grew up in California, now live in Texas). We go every year for Soring break. It now costs $100 per day to enter the park. The park was packed. Locals, out of towners, jam crammed full of people. Didn't strike me as first time visitors. And there were large...

    Seattle to vancouver

    We loved the train! Cheap and stress free. The limited departure times were a bit of a pain, but coming come we spent the afternoon at science world. That place was AMAZING!

    Just back from 7-night Eastern on the Fantasy (Concierge)! Ask me whatevs.

    I will be interested to see if this schedule change continues for the Eastern. It actually makes more sense to have Pirate night before a sea day, rather than a port day. We are booked on the June 6th and I have reservations about having an 8:15 excursion on St. Thomas the morning after the...

    Port arrival time Vancouver

    Get there between 10:15 and 10:30. We had the same PAT you do, got there at 10:30 and breezed through everything. But there were people there before us... One of my fell DISers on the same cruise got there at 10:15, with an 11:00 PAT, and they let her through. They got to be first in line...

    Question: Dine-and-play on formal night?

    My DD went in her formal clothes and did just fine. It seemed like ome of the evening activities were more entertainment and Kessler rough and tumble. There was one night with Pluto's Pajama party where a lot of the kids, mine included, brought pj's to change into. My daughter loved doing...

    Alaska - getting there from Seattle

    I would get to the King Street station as early as you can manage. We got there at 6:45 (an hour before departure) and the line to get seat assignments for coach had to be forty people deep. The terminal opens at six. There are only a couple if lines so it is not to tough to find your way...

    Alaska - getting there from Seattle

    Another Amtrak vote here. We bought business class tickets (which I highly recommend) and had a beautiful and stress free train ride to Vancouver and back. It was still cheaper than flying in to Vancouver. It costs $20 to upgrade to business class. Business class gets to board and exit the...

    Any recs for dining rotation or servers on Alaska cruise?

    It was Wednesday, Tracy Arm day. A hindrance if you want to reserve seats on deck by 9 a.m. (which I wouldn't recommend for the casual viewer), but it worked out for us.

    Any recs for dining rotation or servers on Alaska cruise?

    I requested a rotation on our Alaska cruise and loved it: PTTAPTA We got Parrot Cay out of the way early. Got to eat in Tritn's three times (including formal night) and were in Animator's on the last night. Ths meant we had breakfast at AP. We skipped the second PC night because they changed...

    A Note About PAT in Vancouver

    I've seen a lot of posts on here about whether or not to go to the terminal before your reserved Port Arrival Time, so I wanted to share our recent experience in Canada. The bellman who took our bags at the Pan Pacific advised us to go to the terminal at ten thirty as soon as they opened...

    Do I really need reservations booked far in advance?

    One of the things I would definitely do in advance is sign up for the kid's club - especially if you are going to try to get Palo reservations the day you board. We had completed our enrollment online, so I took us less than five minutes to pick up our wristband. I watched others who had not...

    Applying Disney Gift Card to Onboard Spending Account?

    I called Disney the week before the cruise (several calls, actually) and added about $600 in gift cards to my onboard account. They did it like I was giving myself a gift. :rotfl2: They add any excursions you have signed up for the first day (I think it was the night before our cruise) -...

    ALASKA disembarkation

    They didn't start calling character tags until well into our breakfast, which started at 8:15. So I would say 8:45 or 9:00. We got off the ship at 10 and there was a twenty minute wait for a taxi.

    Just Got Back from First DCL Cruise and I Miss My Servers!

    No, he didn't! That would have been lovely. I think she mentioned her current contract is up in November or December 2013. After a couple of months off she would come back and the timing might be right to move over to the Magic for the Europe itineraries, then wrap up with the Southern...
