    Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

    Has anyone bought DL tickets lately? A couple of months ago I wanted to buy some and sent all the info to my TA. I mathed it out and it's actually a better deal for me to just buy direct than to use UT or something with all the deals I've gotten with buying DCGs. My TA hasn't been able to get...

    Conflicting onboard credit refund info

    One of those threads you referenced was mine (the second one) and I provided my data points and how things worked out on page 2. This was a cruise in January of this year so definitely recent experience. It was eventually refunded. If you need the money back right away, I don't recommend...

    private transfer: civitavecchia PORT to civitavecchia TRAIN station?

    I don't think you can avoid that first shuttle, but I may be wrong. It's the way the port is configured. Honestly, it SOUNDS much more annoying than it is. It really wasn't a big deal.

    4n magic animation magic?

    Those restart sailings were doing all kinds of weird stuff. It's definitely not a normal occurrence but it does seem to happen now and then, apparently. What's funny is that after I responded that I had never heard of this, we were on a 4-night on the Magic in January and our table mates were...

    platinum check in at port?

    Separate Pearl/Platinum checkin line at Galveston recently, which was nice and quick. We walked right up with no line. Our PAT was late enough (12:30) that once we got through security, it was open boarding and we walked right on the ship. There was a significant security line, though it only...

    Edge

    I'm not aware of any changes. Edge is not secure programming and kids can come and go.

    Debarkation Breakfast

    It depends on which restaurant but generally it's 8:00 or 8:15. Usually two restaurants will be 8 and one will be 8:15 to stagger slightly. We usually take about 45-60 min.

    I banked my points to book Aulani but it's not available. WWYD?

    I'll see if we can afford that! LOL.

    I banked my points to book Aulani but it's not available. WWYD?

    Well, I just thought I'd provide an update about my WL for June. At this point I have three of my nights: the two first nights, then I have a gap, and then one more night and then my last night I still don't have. I got pretty excited because I got those three nights in pretty close succession...

    Magic 4-night January 2024 - A quick Mexican getaway from Galveston

    Whoa! That's nuts. We were on the Wish when they had a problem with The Little Mermaid but we just waited for a few minutes while they sorted it out and they restarted the scene and carried on from there. Which other show was cancelled?

    Passengers are furious after Norwegian Cruise Line removed Antarctica from its itinerary after everyone had boarded

    This summer those of us on the 10-night France/Iceland/Norway had one of our Iceland ports cancelled. It was pretty frustrating. Apparently there was an issue with the dock not actually having been built. The kicker was that DCL literally knew about it for MONTHS and didn't tell us until less...

    25th Anniversary Ideas - Galveston 5 night Dec 2024 cruise

    We've sailed out of Galveston twice (we live in Austin so it's a pretty easy drive). The gulf can be a little rough. I'm not sure they do anything different for any particular number of anniversaries. We cruise often in January because it's our anniversary month and we celebrated 24 on board...

    new bandanas?

    Well, I hope it was a joke, otherwise that poster is going to be bummed. Or not, because you can probably buy one (or 80) on eBay!

    Early Dining Two Nights and the Early Show Two Nights?

    On a four night, you will have a duplicate restaurant but not a duplicate menu. You'll get each rotational menu once plus the pirate menu on the other night. I wouldn't recommend skipping any of them, but especially not Lumiere's! Pirate night is my least favorite menu (and I think most people...

    Early Dining Two Nights and the Early Show Two Nights?

    On a 4-night on the Magic? I've only ever seen that on the longer cruises on the larger ships.

    Early Dining Two Nights and the Early Show Two Nights?

    If there is a specific rotation that you want, I highly recommend that you contact DCL now (or have your TA contact them if that's how you booked) and request your preferred rotation. Have you seen Twice Charmed? It's actually a great show! I wouldn't miss it if you've never seen it. Your...

    Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

    I usually go the TA route so my friend can get a little spiff and with my GCs it usually comes out slightly better than UCT. That said, there's apparently some kind of glitch with using GCs to buy DL tickets and my TA has been trying for about a month. The first glitch is that you cannot use...
