I agree, it is very frustrating! I much preferred the old dining reservations platform over the "Disney Experience" one. However, I can usually get it to work. If the reservation agent was not able to make any reservations either, tje system may have genuinely been down for a while - just try...

I'm sure others will be able to be more helpful to you about getting from the cruise port to the airport - but if I were you I would not head straight to a LAX hotel and stay there for the day! There is so much to see in the area and I suggest you take advantage of it! For instance, you could...

Really? There's no red-eye? In my experience most cross-country flights from LAX leave in the evening. If you are getting off the ship at 9:30 it is very unlikely that you will make an 11:40am flight. Traffic in LA can be quite challenging, and I have waited in very long check-in and security...

Yes, yes and yes! While you CAN take a closed-loop cruise with a birth certificate, I would not want to do it. It is really not that difficult to get a passport, so for peace of mind I really suggest you bite the bullet and get them for your group. Also the whole world opens up to you!

Thanks for such a great trip report! We are planning to sail the Dream in summer 2014 (soooo very far away!) and I love all your photos and tips. What a great vacation!

It was my birthday treat to myself on last week's NYC weekend cruise. Worth every penny! I loved sitting in the jacuzzi by myself looking out over the open ocean . . . Do it!

We have had a very last-minute wrinkle come up with our 2-night Cruise to Nowhere out of New York sailing tomorrow! My 14 year old daughter is in a ballet intensive for 3 weeks, and was invited yesterday to participate in the final performance that is usually just for the students in the...

Thank you! That is helpful!

My husband is not a "cruise person" (yet - I keep hoping!). He is really into exploring a destination, and hates that you have only 6-8 hours in one place before moving onto the next. He is also not really a resort person. We often rent a house in a location and use it as a base to explore the...

Sorry - I guess I wasn't clear. We couldn't book the whole group onboard for numerous reasons. I am just wondering if we ultimately end up doing a group booking for our actual sail dates (which we probably won't be able to nail down for a year or so), whether the two cabins my husband and I...

Hi! I have read through numerous threads and haven't seen my specific questions addressed - I apologize if I missed it. We are taking our first DCL cruise next month - the 2-night Cruise to Nowhere on the Magic. So excited :dance3: ! My sister-in-law has already been talking about planning...

If you watch the fireworks from the entrance area in front of the train station (or go up to the station to see them) you will the first people out of the park afterwards. The fireworks show itself is about 10 minutes and it always starts right on time. I would assume the Disney cruise buses...

Hi everyone! I haven't been here for a while because I was out of town last week in S. California (I got to visit Disneyland, but sadly missed the opening of CarsLand by 2 days!). It's nice to see the group so active! I am getting really excited that the cruise is just 3 weeks away! I am...

Hi! We're looking for a 1 b/r at BLT from January 10-14, which would need 116-162 points depending on what views are available. Let me know if you still have points and if you see availability for those dates. Thank you!

They are cruising in and out of NYC, not Port Canaveral. Also there are no trains (Amtrak or regional) that run in and out of Allentown/Bethlehem (I live in Philadelphia and the Allentown area is more than an hour north of the city and Septa does not run that far). To the OP - if you are OK...

It's great to know that at least one other 11-year old girl will be on the ship! She thinks Vibe looks so much cooler than Edge that she's already jealous of her big sister! I hope there are also a couple of teens on board - it looks like a lot of folks are doing this as an adults-only cruise.

We're booked on this - it will be my birthday weekend also (turning 48). I'm so excited! We're bringing my two daughters, age 11 & 14. Any other Dis kids on this cruise?

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been AWOL here. I've been back from vacation for more than a week but I've had a hard time getting in the swing of things at home. NOLA was awesome, and Mardi Gras was something to see! I highly recommend it (even for families - we were there with kids from 11-20). I...

:cheer2:Welcome Beth & Shanna! It's great to have new cousins! Jackie - great job on that PR! I'm impressed! Jen B - I loved the essay, and I'm thrilled for you that she has come so far with school in one year. I know what it's like when your kids are stressed at school. And it sounds like...

You can view the race from the outside of both the Poly & the Contemporary, but depending on how fast you run you may be running by the Contemporary pretty darn early! Another good spot to watch from is the Yacht/Beach Club, where you can see the runners near the end of the race. We've stayed...
