    Buying DDP for 2 year old?

    Has anyone been able to buy a dining plan for a 2 year old? I realize he will eat free at the buffets and off our plates, but I think it will be worth the $12 per day to cover his CS meals and snacks. We are staying on DVC points, and we are probably not buying park tickets on this trip. We...

    non-disney trip insurance: where and when to buy??

    We buy Travelex. Thankfully, I've never had to use it, so I can't say how easy they are to deal with if you have a claim. If you purchase within 21 days of your deposit, all pre-existing conditions are waived. Other than that, I don't know how long you can wait to buy it.

    babies counted as a 'person'?

    Yes, it really stinks that it is so hard to cruise with 5. I'm in the exact same situation. My kids are 10, 8, and 1. I think we're going to book to cat 12s instead of the cat 4 since it is about $1500 less on the 7 night. You lose out on the kids sail free entirely this way, though.

    Success Booking Cat 12 Kids Free??

    Thank you! This gives me some hope. I do now see a cat 11 on the 5/14 cruise, but the price seems higher than I've seen posted here.

    Success Booking Cat 12 Kids Free??

    Would you mind telling me who was successful in helping you? The Dreams agent who replied to me was not very helpful. I am flexible on my dates, but I need someone who will keep looking for me.

    Success Booking Cat 12 Kids Free??

    Has anyone been able to book a Cat 12 with the kids free promotion lately? I guess I've missed out. We just talked my parents into cruising with us so that we could take all three kids without having to get two cabins, but it looks like all the cat 12s are sold out. We're not really picky...

    crocs nile ?

    You can remove the straps on the Nile. Just peel them off the rivet, like unbuttoning a button. Then you won't have to worry about them rubbing.

    Restrooms on St. John Excursions??

    We will be on the 1/7 Magic, and we'd like to go to St. John on this trip. The problem is that my husband has ulcerative colitis and needs to have quick access to a restroom. We were thinking about the island tour, but we're worried about the restroom availability. Do the ferries have a...

    Anyone have any luck with Priceline?

    I haven't used priceline for a Cocoa Beach hotel, but we have used it many times successfully. The last time we cruised, I got the Wyndham Gardens in Orlando for around $35. For us, the savings were worth driving in to Port Canaveral in the morning. The hotel was extremely nice. It's easier...

    Priceline for Cocoa beach hotels?

    Another option is to stay in Orlando. You're just 45 minutes or so from the port, and you can get a 3 star for quite a bit less since there are more rooms available. We got the 3 star Wyndham on International drive in January for $28. Well worth the hour drive in the morning, IMHO.

    To park, To not to park, that is the question, who has the answer?

    Something else to consider...get a cheaper hotel. We have stayed at the Radisson and taken the shuttle twice, but we parked at the port on our last cruise. We used Priceline to book a hotel in Orlando for $38 after taxes (3-star Wyndham on International Drive). We saved way more than enough...

    Difference between CAT 11 vs. CAT 12?

    The cat 12 only sleeps three. We were able to book a cat 12 gty for our last cruise, and we had 4 people. We knew that we would at least get a cat 11, but we ended up in a cat 9. I don't know if all travel agents will do this. We checked prices everywhere, and most agents told us that the...

    Ron Jon Or Radisson At Port?

    We've stayed at both, and I'd choose Ron Jon's hands down. The pool area is amazing, and our kids (5 and 3) loved the indoor playground as well. The customer service was not the greatest, but the rooms were great.

    Any experience with VacationsToGo?

    We booked a last minute January Wonder cruise with Vacationstogo and saved quite a bit over what DU and Allseas quoted us. The agent we worked with was great, and I'd use him again in a heartbeat. We were able to book a cat 12 gty since cat 11 was sold out (none of the other agencies could do...

    Doin' The Upgrade Dance!!!!

    Just got off the 1/6 Wonder where we were upgraded to a cat 10 on deck 2. Deck 2 was fine, but our room was quite noisy. We were in 2116 which was under the hallway to Parrot Cay. It was very quite until people started coming to breakfast in the morning, and then it sounded like people were...

    SEPT 24 2005 Enter and Sign in Please

    I just got off the 1/6 Wonder, and I was able to rebook this cruise while onboard. We already had a reservation through DU, but in order to get the onboard discount and $200 credit, we had to cancel and rebook. We were even assigned a room, so apparently the sailing isn't full yet.

    Doin' The Upgrade Dance!!!!

    We've stayed near the elevators on deck 6 twice before, and it wasn't bad at all. In fact, we booked near the elevators after being there the first time. The convenience more than made up for the extra traffic we heard. Only a couple of times did we hear some kids playing on the elevators.

    Upgrades - Rare Experience or Common?

    We've been upgraded on two of our four cruises. The first time, we were in an assigned cat 11 and were upgraded to a cat 6 on the 9/13/03 Magic. We booked about a month prior to the cruise through DU. This time, we booked a cat 12 GTY through Vacationstogo.com for the 1/6/05 Wonder, again...
