    Resort Airline Desk luggage check in?

    Domestic US destination flights only on the their short list of common carriers only (the last-time we used flying through Buffalo was JetBlue). Also need to watch departure times as good for most morning/early afternoon flights but thought night/late night they could not do?

    Disney Wonder 14-night Westbound Panama Canal March 6th, 2020

    Yes Ontario (Toronto). We planned to fly back the day of debarkation as priced out a stay in the area and the cost did not justify trying to fly back on a more expensive day. Sat on the fence and watch our desired flights go nowhere but up in price ($6-$700 to over $900). Constantly watching...

    Disney Blasphemy! The good, the great, and the not so great on our recent Fantasy Cruise.

    Good review and the points on service rang true for us. We've had phenomenal to poor MDR teams and what we've noted was the really good head servers know their weak teams, and will help out with and direct their other teams to carry some load so service does not suffer as much as it could have...

    WWYD: Rent/park at port or Rent/get private shuttle

    I've done both ways multiple times and my 2 cents if just driving back to the airport right after the cruise is do a one-way prior dropping all and luggage at the cruise terminal before returning/dropping the rental off. Single riders from the rental companies without luggage are easier to...

    Disney Wonder 14-night Westbound Panama Canal March 6th, 2020

    Cruise booked, partial check as still need to pay off, flights booked, check (and that was a little painful it being the end of March Break where we are, flights back were $$), hotel pre-cruise booked, check and check a 2nd time as we change our minds where to stay. Now all we need is our PIF...

    Single Day Rainforest Pass $ Increased today!

    I think few would think not managed by DCL through contract though all are run and provided by Steiner. Steiner may have exclusive rights to sell their services and products on-board under the Senses banner and although I don't think anybody here knows the explicit details of the agreement...

    Single Day Rainforest Pass $ Increased today!

    I think indirectly yes, but everything Disney does is $ driven. I felt the day passes a good alternative to the cruise length pass price (a better $ value unless using daily) and they may be increasing the day pass cost to maximize single pass $ generated but also drive up the cruise length...

    Help Me Decide: Dream or Fantasy?

    My vote if time and budget allow is always longer over shorter but imo if you've never cruised before, a 4-day maybe a good first cruise to see if all in the party like sailing.

    Rental Car...I've asked this before, but

    Funny it no longer shows for Avis and Budget and if you go into the terms and conditions it mentions the additional driver included with member benefits in Canada and Avis Budget show additional driver included if selecting a Canadian destination rental. But if you go to the US Costco site and...

    Rental Car...I've asked this before, but

    We've always had the 2nd driver waived on our Costco FLA rentals. I thought when booking through the Costco travel site it shows as well.

    Does RaceTrac 8899 Astronaut Blvd, Cape Canaveral sell beer and wine?

    One trip blends into another now but a previous stay (a while ago) at Country Inn, I thought they had coolers of beer we bought for our stay there pre-cruise previous. I know for wine we've done the Publix a little further down on the same side of the road.

    Question about carrying on Wine/Beer

    The alcohol carry-on allowances are per person (adult over 21). Security has no clue to who is for what cabin. I also normally carry for both myself and DW in my napsack (technically twice the personal allowance) and they seeing us as a group have never questioned me having 4 bottles (carton)...

    Disney Fantasy - Rainforest Room Pass?

    We've done cruise length pass (as PP stated includes scrubs), multiple times day passes (most time not even using all we bought) and once did cruise length and 3 days in not using once and not seeing would be used with what we had booked, actually talked the mgr to credited us back (we had other...

    First Disney cruise: go all out or take it easy?

    The OP being a WDW veteran, I'd tag a 4-day onto a WDW stay to get a flavour for cruising and whether it is for your family. If you enjoy a first shorter cruise, book a placeholder on-board and that way you can plan your next (maybe longer) with a discount and OBC. The ships motion and how all...

    Hopper Accurate?

    If wanting direct and as long as you select direct it will only show (and watch) direct flights. For us, like yourself we'd do a one stop layover depending on the flight times and layover duration but it is solely direct or not with Hopper which lead to a lot of false excitement for us in...

    Hopper Accurate?

    Watched using and actually bought watched trips through the app. I found fluctuating prices were seen but you have to have a drop threshold you're willing to jump at immediately AND the drop may be seen on the unattractive times/non-direct flights one would not normally choose. Our lowest...

    Inside Connecting Rooms

    As GPaLarry indicated, the doors are in the middle normally opposite the beds next to the closet. If you checkout the DCL website you'll see what units are connecting in the deck plans. https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/ships/deck-plans/ Note the Magic and Wonder do not have a lot of...

    excursions

    If booking outside of Disney, make sure you allow more than enough time to make it back to the ship well-before the all on-board time. Since the more popular ports have multiple ships all operators excursions will not necessarily work for all ship departure times. Remember the tour operator or...
