    "Free" drinks?

    Yes there are crew member walking around with complimentary drinks during the Captains reception. Not aware of any others, but I could be wrong.

    Biking on Castaway

    It was very nice, goes along the old runway. It's my understanding the old planes are originals from the islands infamous past, not brought in by Disney. I agree do it early, bikes are very basic and a hot day can become very hot.

    what type of cups are in Fantasy Cabanas buffet?

    Yep, we did it nearly every morning. The boys and I would eat at Cabanas and bring Mom something down. Always brought down snacks and drinks throughout the day. Great location. We were on 10 in an Aft cabin.

    Total cruise virgin here!

    A lot to cover in this question. DCL has rotational dining and you are assigned a dining room for that night. You have the same wait staff each night. Everyone has opinions on second or first seating, personally I liked second. Watched the stage show then went to eat each night. There are...

    Is a Disney Cruise right for a luxury traveler?

    I'm kind of picky about my coffee, but in April I thought it was pretty good. I've realized that everyone has their own likes and dislikes but coffee is not a make or break issue on vacation.

    Luggage Advice

    Zip locks are great, us old military guys have been doing that for years to keep stuff dry. Pack each bag with shirt, socks and underware. Larger bags hold one uniform each.

    First Time Cruisers-Advice Please!

    There's a lot of great advice in this post. My best advice is RELAX, a Disney cruise can be much more relaxing as a parent then a trip to The World. Have fun and enjoy the experience.

    Thanks for the feedback, we thought about canceling now and taking our chances. Unfortunately those rates can be non existent one month and other times there's rooms made available 60 days out. It can be almost $4k difference but it's a crap shoot.

    First Cruise - Length of Cruise?

    Our first cruise was this year and we did 7 days on Fantasy. A little apprehensive at first but it worked out well for us an 2 boys 7&8. Fantasy is a huge ship to explore and it seemed to take a few days to learn our way around and get into our dinner and show routine at night. By day 3 and 4...

    Kids vs adult menu on Dream?

    My kids ordered desert of the adult menu and the boys at the table next to us usually ordered off adult menu. The servers are extremely flexible and will go with the flow of the people they are taking care of.

    We currently have a cruise booked for next April on the Fantasy. My question is this. Since I am retired military I qualify for some pretty good discounts when they're made available. If I've PIF and would like the switch to the lower rate will Disney give me that and credit the difference...

    TCM Classic Cruise 2014

    That would be very cool. My favorite part other than watching these classics is Robert Osbourne. Like hearing the back stories of the movies. AMC now has notes about the movie scroll across the bottom, kind of like Pop Up Video from the 80s. Bet this is closest to an adult cruise that Disney...

    Registering for Oceanear Club/Lab

    You can register online, but just as others have said you have to go to the club and get them a bracelet. But there seems to always be room. Keep in mind, some kids don't fall in love with it either. Our boys are 7 & 8, love school, love day care and on the weekends spend most of their time...

    Dream Internet access review 5/7/14

    We Face timed our daughter every day on 7 night as well as a few other family members. Probably 10 - 15 minutes each time. Bought the middle package and still had time left on last day. Works pretty good in room, but dropped a few times while on the veranda.

    Wait to get passport 5hours + last weekend!

    Our post office scheduled a time for us to go in. They also recommended filling out form on-line, stream lined the process. Were in and out in less than an hour for 4 passports. Would of been quicker but 3 of the photos from Walgreens were not done correctly.

    Diabetic on cruise

    That's exactly what we did, one was waiting in our room at check if I remember right. Fill out the form though so medical staff has a heads up before you get there.

    Diabetic on cruise

    My 7 year old is type 1 and has been for about 4 years. He's on a pump which helps. Over the years we have learned to try and make educated guesses comparing with similar foods when we don't have exact carb counts. Everybody breaks down carbs differently so unfortunately it's not always an...

    What's up with the Fantasy? Vibration?

    we had an Aft room on deck 10. Usually felt vibrations going into and out of port, but nothing that was overly distracting. I agree everyone is different and be more sensitive to it.

    Best FE gift?

    Most useful thing we got was a "light card" that worked like our room key for lights and tv. It had a magnet so as we left you could stick it to the inside of the door

    Copy of Concierge Room Service Breakfast??

    Haven't done CL on cruise, but after doing Club Level at the park don't think we'd do any other way. Stayed at the Polynesian and loved the Club Level mainly for the drinks and snacks through the day. We did the math and thing we saved on food more than anything. We got a 40% military...
