    Opinions after having sailed first few Australian Disney cruises

    I was disappointed in this as I had been sure I read somewhere that on the boat you get to see Disney movies before they are released. We did the 1st -4 December Auckland to Auckland sailing.

    I just did our online check in for our first family cruise in December yesterday. I must say I was surprised with the let them check themselves out opition. I would get lost on the boat so don't want my miss just turned 8 checking herself out. She also does not have a phone or smart watch...

    Best character breakfast

    Just asked miss 7 which breakfast she liked best. We did all of them when there in October. Her answer was "Goofy's because there is lots of sugar treats there", and the characters dance around and if it is your birthday you get a cupcake", they even have breakfast ice cream. I just asked her...

    Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique

    It is possible to get to the park early and ask at BBB if they have any space. When we were there in October I saw a person do this and they got a reservation. I have also heard of others doing this as well and having luck. Just an idea incase you don't get a booking.

    Where to meet Chip & Dale?

    We have a fellow Chip and Dale lover in our house as well. Our Miss 6 turned 7 on our trip was totally crushing on them. We saw them at Story teller breakfast, Minnie's Breakfast, Goofy's Kitchen as well as in Main street town square. This is where we saw them the most in Main street town...

    Using a Disney Travel Agent - are there benefits?

    When I went to WDW a number of years ago I booked everything myself. Last year we went to Disneyland and I used a USA based company for Disney tickets (5 day park hoper and one day ticket) and 2 nights DLH. I booked other accommodation by myself at a cheaper hotel. The reason I used the USA...

    Worth paying more $$ for Candy Cane Inn over Anaheim Hotel?

    Candy cane inn gets my vote. Have not stayed at either but did have CCI booked for 2 trips. First covid took over the world and airline stopped flying. Second they weren't finished renovations yet. I like that CCI had breakfast Also has a shuttle so if coming back from the park with just my...

    Help me decide Storytellers Cafe or Goofy's Kitchen?

    We have done both and Story tellers is the quieter of the two. Our girl crushes on Chip and Dale and had the best interaction at story tellers. She did have quick interaction at Goofy's but storytellers was less rushed.

    My Miss 7 did it on her birthday we did the castle package with dress and the photos in it afterwards . She really enjoyed it and was so excited when she got to have nail polish applied by the fairy godmother. I agree get an early reservation so you can make the most of the day dressed as a...

    Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Dresses?

    We did this in October on our little girl's 7th birthday. She choose the pink sleeping beauty dress. She wore it all day and night on the rides. I think the key is for sure comfortable shoes. She wore her boots everyday at Disney except the first day when she wore her sneakers. The dress was a...

    My experience today with the Princess Adventure Breakfast

    Oh that is so sad that you guys didn't have a great experience. How did the girls like it? sometimes we have to put aside our own expectations and see it through the eyes of the child. We also did this experience in October for 2 adults and one child. With the New Zealand exchange rate and...

    Has Wifi in the parks gotten any better?

    We had trouble with it on our New Zealand phones was very hit and miss. Even our international roaming didn't work well. Couldn't look at the app most the time when in lines as it wouldn't work. I would get a USA Sim with data

    Early entry versus late nights

    We got back from the parks about 3 weeks ago. We had ideas to do EE but only made it for one day out of 6. We didn't even make it when we swapped to the Disneyland hotel for 2 nights at the end of our trip. The morning are hard and we liked to let our turned 7 on the trip sleep as well as us...

    Stovall’s vs Element

    What is the parking situation? Element is right next to The Suncoast which is where we stayed 3 weeks ago. We had reservations booked for Candy Cane and Suncoast was our back up hotel. The Art bus stops right outside the element hotel. I would go for more space. The walk I would imagine is...

    Genie+ has GOT TO GO!

    I feel you on this and then add in the crap wifi and the fact that our roaming international data was hit and miss it made it really suck at times.
