    Extended balcony AFT—smoke problems?

    I‘ve been in room 7190 on both the Dream and Fantasy and had zero issues either time. The only thing we noticed was vibration in the morning when pulling into port. That didn’t bother us, though, it was sort of an alarm clock for us. 😊

    Does anyone know of any good parking lot for the San Diego port? The ones nearby are booked out

    Manchester Grand Hyatt has long term parking via Airport Parking Connection. It’s only a mile away from the port. Keep in mind you’ll need to take an Uber or Lyft to/from the cruise terminal.

    Wish Dining -How Do We Fit It All In?

    It’s been a minute since our last Disney cruise, so it’s nice to be back on the boards and start planning!😁 Now on to my question. We’ll be sailing on the Wish next March for my friend’s wedding. Several of the adult foodies in the group want to experience all of the MDRs, but also Enchante...

    This cocktail costs how much?

    I‘ve never noticed differing prices but I actually have no complaints over what they charge. I live in Los Ángeles where they charge double for a decent drink as opposed to DCL.

    Hello everyone! I’m in the process of trying to decide on which excursion to do while we’re in Cabo this November. Right now, I’m strongly considering this private yacht excursion but am looking for feedback from those who’ve experienced it...

    Cruise Ship Etiquette?

    Lots of great suggestions here, so I really don’t have anything to add. I just wanted to say the simple fact that you asked and also stated how etiquette is important to you speaks volumes. You’re going to be just fine! 😊

    Can Check-In Be Done for Two Staterooms

    It’s a few years since I‘ve gone on a Disney cruise so now I’m trying to catch up and learn the processes currently in place. My question is regarding the check-in process. I booked two staterooms, two adults in one and three in the over. Will it be a single transaction to check all five of...

    How many more days until your Disney cruise - Part 3

    I have to pending cruises booked, but it's 238 for the next one coming up which will be this November! Technically 240, but we're spending two days in San Diego before hopping on the Wonder for our cruise to Cabo. Can't wait! :D

    Super Bowl While At PVB - Need Ideas

    Well, looks like we’ll be watching Super Bowl from our PVB studio villa on 2/13. Most of the family is staying behind this trip, so it’ll just be me and one of my adult sons. I usually cook multiple courses from scratch for a crowd starting with pre-game all the way up to the end, the whole...

    Are you reconsidering your plans for January & February 2022?

    We were there last September/October and felt comfortable and are returning in February. We’re also fully vaxxed/boostered and wear a mask outdoors if in an area where the crowd is thick. That being said, only you know your personal circumstances as far as your health is concerned. No one...

    California DVC Owners Group

    Thanks for the trip report! Oh no, sorry to hear about issues at the resort and technical glitches. I can understand the frustration and staffing is definitely impacting service and overall experience, not just at DLR but also WDW. Hopefully they’re resolved soon as work force is increased...

    California DVC Owners Group

    Awesome trip report, thanks for sharing! Good to know mobile check-in worked well because the front desk lines used to get pretty long. I do have to say cast members there were extremely efficient with taking care of everyone as quickly as possible and I‘ve always enjoyed interacting with...

    California DVC Owners Group

    Hi! Sorry its taken me so long to respond! Oh my, where do I even begin?! After two years of not having visited, it was a bit emotional to be back. We savored every moment, that‘s for sure! We spent the first seven nights at AKV in a two bedroom savannah view. As usual, our stay here was...

    California DVC Owners Group

    Welcome to the thread! I can relate to this one! I do have one son that gets excited early on, but the others don't until we're about a month out.

    The decline of Disney Service

    I really appreciate you sharing your experience! We were in WDW for 16 days this past month. I unfortunately don't have the time to describe every scenario but I can confirm that it was very clear to us that all of the CMs, whether at our resort or in the parks, were trying to put forth the...

    California DVC Owners Group

    Yup, we ended up getting Dream keys because we just couldn’t wait to get back to DLR. Right! After our September/October trip we’ll be back in WDW in February for nine days and I’m considering adding a third trip. 😬 Ok, I’m sensing a pattern here. I’m wondering whether the cost of APs out...

    California DVC Owners Group

    Came by to see if any of my California neighbors had any thoughts on the announcement of WDW APs. To get to the point, I’m fine with the prices. We’re paying $1,400 for the Dream Key so the Sorcerer pass at $899 will work just fine for us and we‘ll get at least two trips out of it, possibly...

    APs are coming

    Our trip next month will be 9/23-10/8, so I'm relieved that we'll be able to upgrade our 10-day tickets to APs sometime during our stay. We have another one booked for February though for which I haven't made park reservations for yet, so I'm a little annoyed that I'll likely have to do that...

    Corporate Disney has lost the vision

    This I do agree with. I know it's important for some and that's ok because we all have different needs, but I don't care about the loss of ME or the addition of Genie+. But I agree that the cutbacks on entertainment have had a negative impact on the overall experience. I understand that the...
